Even experienced workers make these mistakes — we see them all the time during warehouse visits.
❌ Mistake 1: Using Too Much or Too Little Tension
Too loose = product shifts.
Too tight = strap breaks.
Solution: adjust tension based on the package weight.
❌ Mistake 2: Using PP Strap for Heavy Loads
PP is great, but not for heavy pallets.
Switch to PET or steel for anything above 70–80 lbs.
❌ Mistake 3: Not Replacing Worn Cutting Blades
A dull blade increases sealing problems.
Replace it every few months to keep your seals clean.
❌ Mistake 4: Ignoring Battery Health on Electric Tools
Don’t drain batteries till 0%.
Charging around 30–40% keeps the tool running smoothly.
❌ Mistake 5: Poor Strap Positioning
If the strap is crooked or twisted, the seal weakens.
Keep it flat and aligned for the best results.
Fixing these small mistakes can save your business a lot of time and money.
