Short answer.

Pre-stretched film is stretched during manufacturing before it reaches the operator or wrapper. Because part of the stretching work has already been done, the roll can feel lighter in use and may help control applied film weight. It is often considered for manual wrapping, high-frequency warehouse work and consistency programs. It should still be tested on real pallets for load containment, film breaks and operator acceptance.
