Pre-Stretch Wrap

The stretch wrap that has been stretched nearest to its breaking point before being wound onto rolls is known as the pre-stretch wrap. This stretch film is generally 90% pre-stretched, which results in them having less thickness than other stretch films. The primary purpose of this technique is to allow companies to save time on stretch wrapping. It also protects loads in a better way.

It will be worth discussing how pre-stretch wrap can help protect loads more conveniently. Here are a few benefits that you will get by using pre-stretch wraps.

More film control

Failure in getting a uniform and consistent stretch can result in performance issues of a stretch wrap film. By using a pre-stretch wrap film, you can make sure to have better control over the film, which could mean a better wrapping performance through a predictive stretch.

Easier to apply

Using a pre-stretch film allows your employees to work efficiently without having to worry about the film’s performance. They only have to walk around shipment without needing to pull the film. By using less physical strength, they can achieve improved productivity. A roll of pre-stretch film is usually lighter than a roll of conventional stretch wrap film, which means that it is easier to manage.

Even if you are using a stretch wrapping machine, a pre-stretch wrap roll will help you save electrical energy significantly.

A solution to neck down issues

Stretch wrapping can narrow down the film, which may sometimes necessitate the use of an increased amount of stretch wrapping film. A pre-stretch film roll comes with an already narrowed-down film, which can save you from the neck down issues.

Consumes less energy

Giving your workers the pre-stretch film to use to secure loads can help eliminate the risk of injuries and fatigue. Due to being lightweight, a pre-stretch film is easy to handle, which allows your workers to prevent injuries during the wrapping procedure.

Difficult to damage

One of the biggest challenges of working with a stretch wrap film is its wastage. According to an estimate, about 25% of the traditional stretch wrap film goes to trash cans due to damaged edges. The pre-stretch wrap film, on the other hand, is virtually indestructible due to the rolled edges it has. it can ultimately benefit your company’s bottom line because you are not going to have to purchase an extra film to make up for the wasted film.

Maximum efficiency with less effort

The problem with the regular-gauged stretch film is that it requires a significant amount of effort to pull and wrap. This process can lead to performance issues due to the inconsistent stretch of the film. It can also leave a lot of film underutilized, resulting in the necessity of more film. With pre-stretch wrap film, you or your workers don’t have to pull the film significantly. It can ultimately allow you to get the best of a stretch film.

If you are convinced that you should use pre-stretch wrap film for your packaging applications, you may want to speak to your packaging consultant.
