Test Rig for Packaging Films

The article deals with the measurement of mechanical properties of stretch films. Stretch films are used for packing of goods for transport to transport pallets. The end wrap of film is after the completion of packaging process usually welded or tied. Mechanical properties of films and film endings affect the quality of the whole wrap and ensure transportation safety. When developing new ways of joining film endings it is necessary experimentally verify these new methods. For this reason experimental test rig was developed for measuring mechanical properties of foils and their joints.
