Why is my liner leaking?

The film is pierced, stressed at a seam or fitment, or not suited to the product or temperature.

Possible causes

  • Sharp edges or debris in the outer container
  • Liner too small, stretched at corners
  • Fitment not seated
  • Film chemistry incompatible

What to inspect

  • Inside of the outer container
  • Liner size vs. container
  • Fitment seal

Potential corrective actions

  • Clean and check the outer before inserting
  • Match liner size and gauge
  • Confirm film compatibility
