Our stretch film testing system

Germany's most modern stretching facility

In our Packaging Solution Center we have the most modern facility in Germany for testing stretch films and can therefore carry out a wide range of material and quality tests with extreme accuracy. These unique capabilities not only allow us to ensure continuous quality assurance and fast, targeted complaint processing, but also open up completely new approaches to packaging optimization and development.


No two stretch film applications are the same and countless factors influence the choice of the right film. To ensure that this choice is well-founded and reliable, our stretch film testing system enables us to precisely quantify all the properties of a stretch film so that we can compare them with the requirements. In addition to basic properties such as the general stretch potential, we determine the exact unwinding angle and resistance, the actual running length, the unwinding noise and the load-bearing capacity in different stretching states and at different unwinding speeds. We also carry out various puncture tests and can measure the lateral stiffness. In addition, the film is x-rayed and photographed so that all irregularities such as material concentrations (gels) and thin spots are visible. We can also accurately determine the adhesion/smoothness of films both in their original and extended state.


Thanks to this excellent equipment, we are able to accurately assess films that you have in use and make appropriate recommendations. In the event of difficulties and full-blown problems with load unit securing, we can check whether your film is suitable for your application and define exactly which properties are optimal for your application.
