Short answer.
Common causes include sharp pallet corners, damaged roll edges, incorrect tension, excessive machine pre-stretch, poor clamp or film threading, cold storage conditions, unstable loads and a film grade that does not match the application. Before changing suppliers, record where the break happens: roll edge, carriage, corner impact or after wrapping. That detail helps separate equipment problems from film specification problems.
