Printed timber and goods cover films — choosing the right width and material

Printed cover films protect sawn timber, wood products and building materials from moisture, rain, UV exposure and dirt while keeping the brand visible during storage and transport. Custom widths and personalised printing are available. The key is choosing material and construction for the product dimensions, storage period and environment.

LDPE, MDPE or recycled rLDPE — when to choose each

LDPE and MDPE films are standard choices for covering timber and building materials, providing elasticity and moisture protection. Recycled rLDPE film suits projects seeking to reduce environmental impact while retaining visual identity and technical protection, combining protection with more sustainable packaging.

Dimensions and UV protection

Construction and timber films are available in widths of approximately 500–2,100 mm, with custom options up to 2,400 mm depending on the project. Thicknesses range from 50–200 microns according to load and storage duration. Typical roll lengths are 50–200 m, with longer rolls for larger projects. UV-stabilised options are available for extended outdoor use to preserve film and print durability under sunlight.

Logo-printed cover films — a branded solution

Flexographic artwork can repeat along the roll or cover the sheet surface. Available colour count is confirmed for the selected manufacturer and film. Printing can include logos, patterns, warnings or full artwork on one or both sides. Branded cover film acts as both protection and advertising, identifying products in warehouses, on construction sites and at the end customer while supporting the brand’s reputation.
