Load Cell Film Testing

Our goal is to use the minimum grams of film to wrap a pallet while maintaining optimum puncture
resistance and load containment to reduce wrapping expenditure and waste.

Our pallet wrapping specialists conduct a Load Cell Test to analyse and measure the containment
force and puncture resistance on variety films wrapping the same pallet load to determine the per-
fect wrap for that application. For each film type that is tested, the grams used to wrap the pallet is
weighed to determine the cost and film usage for each type. This analysis test is referred to as a ‘cut
and weigh’ test.

The results are inserted into a spreadsheet report which calculates the load containment level, film
reduction amount and total cost savings.
