plastic film (used) for wrapping or plastic wrapping film


Explanation:
'plastic film (used) for wrapping' or 'plastic wrapping film'

I think 'plastic film used in wrapping materials' can mean the plastic film is a component of the wrapping materials, i.e. the wrapping materials are made of plastic film and possibly some other type(s) of material(s)...

Regards,

Dr JM Chen
