The factors determining the characteristics of the SrI2:Eu scintillator during processing and packing stages are considered. Using experimental and computer modeling, we selected options for processing the surfaces of scintillators, providing an improvement in their scintillation characteristics. It is shown that the method of processing the surface of crystal Sr2:Eu size of ø21x5 mm and ø21x10 mm grown by method of synthesis of raw materials components, combined with the diffuse reflector Tetratex provides improved energy resolution of 3.65 % and 3.87 % respectively at 662 keV.
