Shrink Film

Shrink film is an excellent method to increase efficiency, create convenience, cut costs and increase sustainability through the packaging life cycle.

Shrink film is a plastic film that can be wrapped around any object and is then heated, causing the plastic to shrink. As it shrinks, if forms to the shape of your products and seals itself. This method of packaging offers many benefits.

Peace of Mind

Product protection with shrink film is profoundly high as shrink film is made from a sturdy, durable plastic that is difficult to tear or puncture. As heat is applied to the film it creates a tight seal that protects the contents. Shrink film does not become brittle or we33ak when it is exposed to the sun or extreme cold. Once it has been heated and sealed of the product it will continue to provide abrasion protection, puncture and impact resistant without loosening. The seal protects and prevents damage caused by dust, dirt and moisture.

Prevent Tampering

With clear packaging, products are also protected from being tampered with at retail sites and during delivery. Since shrink film covers and grips its shape once applied, tampering will be noticed, which is why many food manufactures and pharmaceutical companies are now shrink wrapping their products.

Affordable

When compared to other packaging materials, shrink film can be surprisingly affordable. It is designed to minimize space and keep bundled items close together thereby reducing the need for additional boxes or pallets.

Using shrink film costs less than case packing and requires less space for storing the packaging material.
