Paragon Machine Stretch Film

Paragon® machine stretch films are designed to solve specific wrapping challenges, from high-performance containment to sustainability initiatives and cost reduction.

Explore the film families below to find the right solution based on your equipment, load profile, and operational priorities.

Paragon Machine Film Families by Equipment and Environment

Paragon machine stretch film includes five defined families: Nexus, Torque, Drive 63, Cold Force and Beyond PCR. They address different wrapper capabilities, operating environments and material objectives. Choose a family from the machine and load requirements, then compare exact gauge, width, length and pallet quantity.

Match the Family to the Wrapper

Nexus is the high-performance path for operations testing strong holding force and material reduction on compatible equipment. Torque is specifically designed for machines that do not use prestretch. Drive 63 is a value-focused down-gauging candidate whose cost-per-pallet result must be measured on the actual wrapper and load.

Cold Force is intended for trials in cold storage, dusty areas or automated systems where film-tail control matters. Beyond PCR includes 10% and 25% post-consumer recycled machine-film products. PCR percentage, gauge and roll dimensions vary by SKU, so use the exact documentation for purchasing and reporting.

Prove the Film with a Controlled Trial

Record wrapper model, carriage type, prestretch ratio, film force, carriage speed, overlap and revolutions before changing film. Run candidate rolls on representative pallets and inspect film breaks, tails, punctures, corner damage and load movement. Compare film weight used per pallet when material or cost reduction is a goal.

Do not transfer a successful recipe between families without verification. Torque's no-prestretch role, Cold Force's environmental role and Beyond PCR's recycled-content claim are distinct product decisions. Compare quick-ship machine film when conventional cast, blown, colored or specialty rolls better fit the purchasing requirement.
