One innovation in stretch film technology that supports efficiency and safety in packaging is pre-stretch film. This type of film is designed to provide strength and stability in wrapping pallets, while reducing plastic waste and operational costs.
What is Pre-Stretch Film?
Pre-stretch is a type of manual stretch film that has been pulled (stretched) in advance during the production process so that pre-stretch has a lower tension but is still stable and easy to apply manually.
Pre-stretch film is made with a thinner thickness but larger roll length. For example, a 600-meter roll of pre-stretch film with a thickness of 7µm weights only 1.55 kg. Compare that to a regular stretch film of 300 meters and 12µm thickness that weighs up to 1.66 kg. Therefore, users can save up to 40-60% on wrapping costs, as the film is used more efficiently without compromising on protection quality.
The pre-stretch film is also able to maintain tension very well so that the load on the pallet remains secure and does not shift easily despite long storage or temperature changes. In addition, the film is tear, scuff and puncture resistant, providing extra protection during shipping or storage.
Pre-stretch is very flexible and able to adjust to uneven or asymmetrical shapes of goods. With high adhesion and elasticity, pre-stretch is suitable for various load shapes. Because it uses less material, pre-stretch film is more environmentally friendly and recyclable. In addition, its light weight and flexibility make its use more ergonomic – less burdensome for operators and suitable for manual use in warehouses or factories.
From small businesses to large corporations, pre-stretch film can be an ideal choice for cost-effective, efficient and environmentally-friendly pallet packaging. Its use is now increasingly widespread in various sectors, such as logistics, warehousing, food, chemical, and heavy manufacturing.
Pre-stretch film is a smart choice for modern packaging. With advantages in terms of cost efficiency, ease of use, durability, flexibility, and less environmental impact, this film is the ideal solution to improve packaging efficiency and lower operational costs.
