How to predict plastic film wrinkling as a consequence of hot sealing ?

16 September 2019 0 8K Report

Hot sealing plastic films often leads to wrinkles, how do we predict this outcome? I read some works on wrinkling models, but I could only find them related to tearing, never to hot sealing (heat+compression)
