Pre Stretch Film for Efficient and Consistent Packaging
SSR Packaging offers Pre Stretch Film designed for efficient wrapping of palletized products, cartons, boxes and industrial loads. The film is pre-stretched during its manufacturing process, allowing it to be applied with controlled tension while providing reliable load containment.
Pre Stretch Film is manufactured with controlled stretching before the film reaches the user. This allows the film to provide a balance between stretch performance, holding force and ease of application for suitable manual or machine-assisted wrapping applications.
The film is suitable for businesses looking for a practical packaging material that can provide consistent wrapping performance while helping optimize stretch film usage.
The correct film specification should be selected according to the load dimensions, product weight, wrapping method and required level of load containment.

How Pre Stretch Film Works
Pre Stretch Film is manufactured by stretching the film material before it is supplied to the customer. This manufacturing process gives the film controlled stretch characteristics.
During application, the film can be wrapped around cartons, boxes or palletized products while maintaining controlled tension.
The film layers overlap as the load is wrapped, helping hold individual packages together as a single unit.
Depending on the application, the film can be applied manually using a suitable dispenser or through compatible wrapping equipment.
Benefits of Pre Stretch Film
- Controlled stretch performance
- Efficient use of stretch film
- Consistent wrapping tension
- Reduced effort during application
- Improved load containment
- Uniform package appearance
- Suitable for repetitive wrapping operations
- Easy handling and application
- Suitable for different pallet configurations
- Helps maintain stable loads during handling
Efficient Use of Packaging Film
One of the important characteristics of Pre Stretch Film is that the film has already undergone controlled stretching before application.
This can allow a longer effective length of film to cover a load compared with using an unstretched film, depending on the product specification and wrapping method.
Actual film consumption depends on the film thickness, pre-stretch level, wrapping pattern, load characteristics and required containment force.
Correct wrapping practices are important to achieve the desired balance between material usage and load stability.

Suitable Load Types
Pre Stretch Film is suitable for wrapping a wide range of palletized and grouped products.
- Standard pallet loads
- Cartons and boxes
- Bagged products
- Industrial components
- Food and beverage cases
- Pharmaceutical cartons
- Automotive components
- Electrical products
- Consumer goods
- Mixed pallet loads
- Export-ready palletized products
- Regular warehouse loads
Improved Load Stability
Properly applied stretch film helps hold cartons and individual products together during handling, storage and transportation.
Consistent film tension and an appropriate wrapping pattern can help reduce unwanted movement within the pallet load.
Pre Stretch Film provides controlled wrapping characteristics that can help achieve repeatable containment when the film is correctly selected and applied.
Product Protection During Storage and Transport
Stretch film forms an outer layer around packaged products that can help reduce exposure to dust and dirt during normal storage and handling.
The film also helps keep cartons and packages grouped together, making pallet loads easier to handle and move through warehouses and transportation operations.
Stretch film is mainly intended for load containment. Additional protective packaging may be required when products need protection against moisture, impact or other environmental conditions.
Manual and Machine Wrapping Applications
Pre Stretch Film can be used for suitable manual wrapping applications with a compatible film dispenser. Its controlled stretch characteristics can make application easier for repetitive packaging work.
Depending on the specific film construction, Pre Stretch Film may also be suitable for compatible wrapping equipment. Machine compatibility should always be confirmed before use.
Selecting the correct roll dimensions and film specification helps ensure smooth application and reliable packaging performance.
Easy and Controlled Application
Pre Stretch Film is designed to provide controlled film application without requiring the same level of stretching force that may be required with conventional stretch film.
Operators can apply the film around the load while maintaining a consistent wrapping pattern. Correct film tension and overlap are important for achieving reliable containment.
Proper handling and storage of the film can also help maintain its performance throughout its usable life.
Selecting the Right Pre Stretch Film
Choosing the correct Pre Stretch Film depends on several factors, including load dimensions, product weight, pallet configuration, wrapping method and required holding force.
Film thickness, width, roll length and stretch characteristics should be considered before selecting the appropriate product.
For specialized packaging requirements, testing the selected film on representative loads can help determine the most suitable specification and wrapping pattern.
Storage and Handling of Pre Stretch Film
Pre Stretch Film should be stored in a clean, dry environment and protected from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Film rolls should be handled carefully to avoid damaging the edges or surface of the film before use.
Correct storage and handling practices can help maintain the film's appearance and wrapping performance.
