Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized fasteners that do not adequately support the sheet's weight and load.Select fasteners with a shear strength rating that exceeds the anticipated load, ensuring proper engagement with the sheet's thickness.
Failing to account for thermal expansion and contraction in enclosed packaging designs.Incorporate expansion gaps or flexible mounting methods to accommodate material movement due to temperature fluctuations.
