I'm translating an instructions manual for a wrapping machine of Italian manufacture. My source language is English, but I I also have the original Italian text. Unfortunately I don't speak Italian.
My question: Is the English term "tensioned polyethylene" correct? I guess the author meant "pre-stretched polyethylene".
Please compare:
La macchina è stata progettata per confezionare
bicchieri di plastica con nastro monopiega in polietilene
a foglia tesa.
vs.
The machine has been designed to pack plastic
cups using reeled singlefold tensioned polyethylene.
Thanks in advance for your assistance

I meant to say if it\'s pre-tensioned then it\'s pre-teso;
if it\'s pre-stretched, then it\'s prestirato
