Pre-stretch setting
Pre-stretch affects how much the film is elongated before it reaches the pallet, but high settings must be validated for breaks and containment.
BINGOPLAS MACHINE FILM GUIDE
Machine stretch film wrapper settings buyers should document.
Machine film performance depends on more than the roll. Wrapper condition, pre-stretch setting, film tension, wrap pattern, load corners and line speed can change the final pallet result. Documenting these settings helps suppliers recommend a better film.

U.S. MARKET CONTEXT
What buyers should evaluate before changing film.
Film tension
Too little force may allow load movement. Too much force can crush cartons, cause breaks or reduce puncture tolerance.
Wrap pattern
Bottom wraps, top wraps, overlap and cycle settings affect both protection and film consumption.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Machine Stretch Film Wrapper Settings Guide questions.
Why does the same machine stretch film perform differently on two wrappers?
Machine condition, carriage type, pre-stretch setting, tension, roll handling and load profile can all change performance.
Should buyers increase gauge when film breaks?
Not immediately. First check wrapper condition, edges, tension, pre-stretch setting and roll handling before assuming a thicker film is needed.
What data should I record during a machine film trial?
Record wrapper settings, load type, roll specification, breaks, rewraps, applied film weight, pallets per roll and final load condition.
