While hand stretch film is a versatile and effective packaging material, there are some common challenges that businesses may face when using it.

One of the main challenges is achieving consistent wrapping. Manual application of hand stretch film can result in variations in film tension and coverage, leading to uneven wrapping. This can affect load stability and increase the risk of product damage during transit.

Another challenge is the potential for film breakage or tearing. If the film is not applied correctly or if it encounters sharp edges or corners, it can tear or puncture. This not only compromises the integrity of the wrap but also increases material waste and costs.

Hand fatigue and repetitive strain injuries are also concerns when using hand stretch film. The manual application of the film requires repetitive movements and can lead to strain on the hands and wrists, especially in high-volume packaging operations.

To address these challenges, businesses can invest in training for their staff to ensure proper application techniques. Additionally, the use of pre-stretched film can reduce the physical effort required, minimizing the risk of injury.
