Spiral Wrapping

Spiral Wrapping is a packaging method that uses stretch film, wrapping film, or specialized wrapping tape to wrap goods entirely by rotating or encircling them. In foreign trade, it is commonly used for securing and protecting goods such as pallets, cartons, pipes, and coils. It effectively prevents moisture, dust, and scattering, and enhances transport stability. Application scenarios include containerized transport by sea, land, and air, especially suitable for irregular or heavy goods. Precautions: Select appropriate film thickness and tension based on cargo weight and dimensions to avoid deformation from over-tightening or loosening from under-tightening; for fragile items, use with corner protectors and cushioning materials. Distinction from other terms: Spiral wrapping emphasizes spiral-style wrapping, different from 'shrink wrapping' (heat-shrink film heated to cling tightly), 'strapping' (local securing with bands), and 'vacuum packaging' (vacuum-sealed). In foreign trade documents, 'Spiral Wrapped' is often noted to specify the packaging method, affecting carrier stowage and insurance clauses.
