CONT

Cling is a rare property that is only found in exceptionally high qualities of down. Tiny hooks develop on the individual fibers as down matures, and these hooks cause down clusters to cling together. This eliminates gaps between the clusters of down, resulting in a more even layer of insulation.

DEF

The tackiness that causes a plastic film to stick to itself.

CONT

Film properties have a bearing on how the unit is wrapped, stored, shipped and received at its final destination ... Cling provides load integrity by keeping the end of the film stuck to the wrap, and causes the layers of film to laminate to each other on the load. This layer-to-layer adhesion of the film holds the load together and holds the load to the pallet.
