We are constantly innovating and evolving to meet the demands of our dynamic marketplace by partnering with distributors to bring creative solutions to the market.

Our new Brand
After 35 years, we’re releasing an updated brand identity, which includes a new logo, colors, and font. You’ll see this new look anywhere we’re out in public, like our website, at trade shows, and on shipping boxes, as well. We believe our new brand represents who we are today: a provider of superior protective stretch film for the packaging industry. The new Rolls shield has been forged as a hexagon – the shaped used to represent the base molecular structure of polymer chain branches. After all, polymer is the foundation of all Rolls products. The three bands of film that extend across the face of our shield to form our signature “S” pay homage to the three generations of the McDonald family who have built what Rolls is today.
Our Story:
Spirit of Innovation
In 1983, Alex “Sandy” McDonald and two partners experimented with a new non-adhesive film that would only stick to itself. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, they introduced a concept to the packaging industry to bundle products more efficiently and economically than any other packaging alternative. Market acceptance grew especially when the automotive industry implemented this product as an invaluable packaging component to its production processes. The company was named “Rolls” and was on the road to innovating other industries. See if you can locate Stretch, our original mascot, on this page.
