When it comes to stretch film, strength isn’t just a laboratory metric — it’s your frontline defence in the unpredictable world of logistics. One of the most critical factors that determines whether a wrapped load arrives safely is puncture resistance.

At Triomada, we believe that real performance begins with real protection — and puncture resistance plays a vital role in safeguarding your shipments.

 

What Is Puncture Resistance?

Puncture resistance refers to a film’s ability to withstand sharp forces or sudden impacts without tearing. This property is especially crucial when dealing with:

1. Sharp pallet corners

2. Metal or irregular-shaped products

3. Rough handling during forklift loading/unloading

4. Sudden load shifts during transit

Without robust puncture resistance, a small tear can quickly escalate into film failure, leading to load instability and, ultimately, damaged goods.

 

Real-World Scenarios Where Puncture Resistance Matters

1. Forklift Contact: A careless bump with a forklift tine can tear through low-resistance film, compromising the entire pallet.

2. Stacking Errors: Misaligned boxes or sharp-edged cartons can push through the film under load pressure.

3. Outdoor or Export Shipping: Wind or jostling during container loading creates sudden stress points on the film surface.

In all these situations, the film isn’t just a wrap — it’s the critical barrier protecting your products from potential loss.

 

How Triomada Ensures High Puncture Performance?

At Triomada, every batch of film undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee puncture resistance, including:

1. Dynamic Impact Testing: Simulating various load and stretch conditions to evaluate impact resilience.

2. Edge and Corner Resistance Analysis: Assessing how well the film withstands sharp corners and edges.

3. Field Simulations: Mimicking real-world transport and handling stressors to ensure performance on the warehouse floor, in transit, and at delivery.

We don’t just rely on test numbers; we evaluate how our films perform in actual supply chain environments.

 

Why Puncture Resistance Matters to You

When your stretch film is built with puncture resistance in mind, you benefit in multiple ways:

1. Reduced Product Damage: Pallets arrive intact, minimising losses.

2. Faster, Smoother Wrapping: Less rewrapping and fewer roll breakages save time and effort.

3. Enhanced Safety: Prevents pallet collapse and reduces risks to workers handling the loads.

4. Strengthened Brand Trust: Consistently delivering products in perfect condition boosts your reputation.
