Pre-Stretched Film for Lighter Rolls and Consistent Load Wrapping
Pre-stretched film is elongated at our plant before it is wound, so most of the stretch is already built into the roll. Your team or your wrapper applies it with light tension and gets tight, uniform loads using less film weight per pallet.

How Pre-Stretched Film Is Produced
The difference happens before the roll ever reaches your dock. Controlled elongation at the plant replaces the hard pull an operator or carriage would normally supply.
- ExtrudeBase film is produced to a set gauge.
- ElongateRollers stretch it under controlled tension.
- StabilizeThe film relaxes so it keeps its new length.
- WindIt is rolled lighter, with firm edges.
What Pre-Stretched Stretch Wrap Changes on the Floor
Pre-stretched stretch wrap shifts the work from the operator to the production line. These are the gains teams report most.
Lighter, Easier Rolls
Smaller, lighter rolls reduce strain on long shifts and repetitive wrapping.
Less Film Weight per Load
Thinner film carries the holding force, so each pallet uses fewer pounds of plastic.
Uniform Results
Every operator applies similar tension, so load quality stays steady across shifts.
Pre-Stretched Film for Wrapping Machines
Many turntable wrappers stretch film with a simple brake or tension carriage instead of powered rollers. Pre-stretched machine rolls give those units the film yield of a powered carriage, with lower wrap force on the load.
- Semi-automatic wrappers with brake or friction carriages
- Older equipment that tears standard film at higher tension
- Light or crushable loads that deform under strong pull
- Lines looking to cut film weight before upgrading equipment

If your wrapper already has a powered carriage that stretches 200% or more, standard machine stretch film is usually the better fit, since the equipment supplies the elongation.
Specifications Built Around Your Loads
As pre-stretch film manufacturers, we set gauge, roll width, and core size around your load weight and wrapping method. Our team can trial rolls on your line and compare film use per pallet before you commit to a program.
- Hand and machine roll formats
- Reinforced edges for tear resistance
- Gauge matched to load weight
- Scheduled shipments from 2 distribution centers

Pre-Stretched Film FAQs
Quick answers before you switch formats.
Does pre-stretched film hold as well as conventional film?
Yes, when the gauge matches the load. The film is thinner, yet the stretch built in at the plant gives it the strength to contain standard pallets.
Can pre-stretched film run on my stretch wrapper?
It runs well on turntable wrappers with brake or friction carriages. Share your wrapper model and we will confirm the roll width and core.
Why do the rolls feel stiffer than standard film?
Most of the elongation is already done, so the film has little give left. Apply it with light, steady tension rather than a hard pull.
Is it available for manual wrapping?
Yes. Pre-stretched hand film comes in compact rolls for manual stations. You can also compare our hand stretch film options.
How much film can I save per load?
Savings depend on your current film, load profile, and wrap pattern. A trial on your own pallets gives the most accurate number.
