What May Cause Stretch Film Packaging Failure

Stretch film packaging failure can be caused by several factors. Improper application, such as insufficient stretch or tension during wrapping, can lead to inadequate load containment. Using the wrong type of film for the load—like opting for a lower-strength film for heavy or irregularly shaped items—can result in tears or punctures. Environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or exposure to UV light, can degrade the film’s integrity. Additionally, using film that is too old or stored improperly can compromise its performance. Ensuring proper application techniques, selecting the appropriate film type, and maintaining suitable storage conditions are crucial to preventing stretch film packaging failure.
