Load Stability & Pallet Containment

Why Pallets Collapse

Containment force, not film thickness, keeps a load standing in transit.

A pallet stays standing because the wrap applies enough inward containment force to hold the load as one rigid block. Take that force away and the top layers walk forward under braking.

Un-reinforced film yields: it keeps stretching under sustained load and slowly releases its grip. Forklift tines puncture it and the wrap unzips from the hole.

Reinforced film fuses woven bands between two layers. The bands do not yield — an 8-micron base behaves like a much heavier film, reaching its rigidity blocking point around 12 micron.
