What does pre-stretch mean?
One of the reasons that stretch film is so cost-effective is that it can be “stretched” prior to wrapping a unit – this means you use less film to do the job, and save money on the cost of the film without weakening the strength of the load. In fact, stretched film “shrinks back” after application, to ensure an even tighter fit and secure load. Film is stretched in the roll carriage of the machine – depending on your needs, your system can stretch film from 50%-300%.
