What May Cause Stretch Film Packaging Failure

Stretch film packaging failure can result from several key factors.
Common issues include insufficient stretch or improper tension during wrapping, which leads to poor load stability and increases the risk of product damage during transit.

Using the wrong type of film for the load is another major cause.
For example, selecting a low-strength film for heavy or irregularly shaped items can result in tearing or punctures during handling or transportation.

Environmental conditions also play a critical role.
Exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight (UV rays) can degrade the film’s properties over time, reducing its effectiveness and durability.

Storage conditions must not be overlooked.
Stretch film that is too old or stored improperly—such as in high humidity or near heat sources—can lose its elasticity and become brittle or sticky.

To prevent stretch film failure,
ensure proper application techniques, select the right film type based on load requirements, and store the film in a clean, dry, and temperature-controlled environment.
