Transit-Wrap™ (TW35 & TW50)

Dependable protection when shipments, storage and jobsite handling get rough. If you have ever unwrapped a load and found scuffs, punctures, torn corners or moisture issues, you already know the real cost of “just using any plastic.” Transit-Wrap from Viaflex is built for the moment materials leave the controlled environment and enter the real world: forklifts, road vibration, shifting pallets, sharp edges and weather exposure. It is a specialty three-layer co-extruded polyethylene wrap engineered to balance puncture resistance and tear resistance, so you can protect product in transit and storage without fighting fragile film that fails when it matters most.

Features
Three-layer co-extruded construction
In the field, punctures often start small and then rip. The dense polyethylene (for puncture resistance) outer layers help prevent the initial damage, while the low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) core helps keep a small nick from turning into a long tear. The result is a wrap that holds together better during handling, strapping and transport vibration.

Two thickness options that match real-world risk
You get a clear dial for protection versus material usage. TW35 is a smart baseline for many wrapping needs. TW50 is the move when you are protecting higher-value goods, dealing with sharper edges, longer routes or more handling events.

Wide format sizes with practical packaging defaults
Typical sizes range from 12 ft to 20 ft wide, with standard 300 ft roll lengths and other lengths available on request. Widths up to 40 ft can be produced with minimum order requirements.
Fewer seams, faster coverage and easier standardization across product lines. For operations wrapping bulky items or large footprints, wide goods can reduce time on task and reduce leak paths.

Temperature range built for tough climates
For shipping across regions or for seasonal product storage, the ability to perform across a wide temperature range (180°F to -94°F) reduces surprises like material softening in heat or material brittleness in cold.

Vapor and moisture performance for barrier-minded uses
If your wrap needs include vapor retarder or vertical wall vapor barrier applications, Transit-Wrap help you compare materials and select the right thickness. TW50’s lower values indicate stronger resistance to moisture vapor transmission on this test method.

Benefits

  • Performance and durability: The most compelling advantage is the balanced structure: puncture-focused outer layers plus a tear-focused core. In practice, that combination tends to reduce the two most common wrap failures: pinholes that become rips and tears that run when a load shifts. The step up from TW35 to TW50 also shows meaningful gains in grab tensile, tear strength and burst resistance.
  • Design that supports real users: This is not a finicky film that only works in perfect conditions. High elongation supports easier wrapping and tensioning, especially around irregular shapes, corners and edges. Standard 300 ft rolls and common wide sizes also make it straightforward to spec and stock.
  • Versatility across industries and tasks: The listed applications cover everything from manufactured housing protection to carpet cover and vapor retarder needs. Add in wide width options up to 40 ft (with minimum orders), and it becomes a wrap that can scale from a small operation to a standardized multi-site program
  • Operational polish through printing: Large-format printing capability is a quiet differentiator. If you want fewer jobsite errors, clearer handling, better distributor presentation or branded protection at delivery, printing turns every wrapped item into a consistent, professional touchpoint.

How to choose between TW35 and TW50:

  • Choose TW35 (3.25 mil) if you need a dependable everyday protective wrap for typical handling and short-to-medium transit exposure.
  • Choose TW50 (4.5 mil) if you ship higher-value goods, face rougher handling, have sharper edges, longer routes or want added margin against tearing and bursting. The performance deltas in grab tensile, tear and burst make TW50 the best option. Use Transit-Wrap for fewer rewraps, fewer damaged deliveries and a wrap that behaves consistently across real job conditions. If you are currently using commodity poly and experiencing failures, upgrading to this three-layer co-extruded wrap is a practical step that pays off quickly by avoiding damage, labor and headaches.
