Often the solution to the initial tear is simply \u2018more wrap\u2019 or to reduce the film tension. But that approach just uses more plastic and doesn\u2019t actually fix the problem \u2013 less film tension means more movement within the pallet and potentially more damage later on.<\/p><div class=\"row blog-post-middle \"><div class=\" col-md-12 no-paddingblog-content mt20\"><p><strong>1: Check your load assembly procedures.<\/strong><\/p><p>It\u2019s not just a matter of checking for product overhang on pallets pre-wrap. Operators also need to correctly assess what elements from within the pallet will move and\/or apply pressure on the wrap when everything\u2019s moving. Sharp corners in mixed pallets will always be there \u2013 so these need to be contained pre-wrap. Here a few extra seconds during assembly can save a lot more in wrap failure and product damage later on. Correct training is vital \u2013 make sure everyone knows what to look for.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>2: Keep attention on the tension.<\/strong><\/p><p>There is no one-tension-fits-all setting on your pallet stretch wrapper. Nor can any hand-wrapping process perfectly bind every single pallet. Instead a careful initial analysis of film tension settings needs to be undertaken to hit the \u2018sweet spot\u2019 \u2013 where there\u2019s no film breakage, no excess movement of pallet contents and no crushing of the load.<\/p><p><strong>3: Be a roll model.<\/strong><\/p><p>While some of the new machine and hand-wrapping products are far more durable than past options it still pays to carefully look after each roll of wrap. Damage to film from mishandling or dropping can result in small imperfections in the roll that can then severely compromise the integrity of the wrapping performance.\u00a0 And make sure each roll is correctly installed in the machine too \u2013 it\u2019s surprising how often a she\u2019ll-be-right approach here is oh-so-wrong for the pallet.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>4: Call on the experts.<\/strong><\/p><p>The ongoing actual cost of wrap tearing can often be hidden within a range of data. So if there are ongoing tear incidents it pays to get an expert in sooner rather than later. An initial process and equipment audit will help provide far greater clarity here. This assessment will take into consideration both the small details and \u2018big picture\u2019 of pallet and product life from picking to packing to transport, delivery and end use.<\/p><\/div><div class=\" col-md-12 no-padding mt20\"><a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-featured mb10\" src=\"http:\/\/old.universalpackaging.nz\/\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row blog-post-middle mt20\"><div class=\"col-md-12 no-padding\"><div class=\"text entry-content\"><p>Preventing wrap tearing is a big part of our everyday work and we always appreciate the chance to get out on site and help out.
