Coefficient of Friction: The Quiet Driver of Packaging Line Performance

Coefficient of friction rarely appears on a marketing sheet, but it decides whether film feeds smoothly or jams.

Why it matters

  • High friction causes drag, misfeeds and film stretching
  • Low friction can cause slipping and misaligned registration
  • Consistency across the roll matters more than any single value

How it is controlled

  • Measured on dedicated friction testers, on both faces
  • Set by formulation and surface treatment during film making
  • Verified per batch, with records available on request
