Stretch wrap for New Jersey
Pharmaceutical shippers want clear film so lot labels and barcodes read through it, or put labels outside the wrap; some ask for opaque film to hide high-value cartons. Chemical plants wrap drums and pails, which want blown film at a heavier gauge. Port-side warehouses in Elizabeth and the Middlesex corridor rewrap import cartons all day on machine film, where yield per roll is what buyers compare.

Most concentrated: pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing, 3.1 times its national share of employment.
New Jersey's warehouses run down the Turnpike, from Middlesex County near the ports to Burlington and Gloucester across from Philadelphia. It wraps medicines and chemicals as much as anything, so clear cast film that scans and heavier blown film for drums are both common.

Pharmaceutical cartons are scanned through the wrap. Clear cast film keeps barcodes readable, and over-wrapping a label makes it harder to read, so plan where the label goes.
