Make your shrink packaging more sustainable. Our eco-friendly shrink film solutions reduce plastic consumption and kWh while preserving the high-gloss, protective finish that shrink is known for. Combine thinner gauges with energy-efficient shrink tunnels and precise sealing to minimize waste and improve your footprint.

What makes it eco-friendly

• Thinner gauges (down-gauging): save plastic per pack while keeping performance.
• Recyclability: mono-material streams (POF and PE) support better end-of-life sorting.
• Lower energy: modern heat tunnels allow reduced temperature and dwell time.
• Fewer reworks: consistent sealing and airflow tuning reduce scrap.

Materials & typical gauges

Rule of thumb: choose the thinnest gauge your product allows and fine-tune the tunnel (airflow, belt speed, temperature) to keep finish and strength.

Compatibility & machine setup

• Chamber / manual and L-sealers
• Continuous sealers and automated lines
• Shrink tunnels with adjustable airflow for thin films

We can remotely assess your product and advise on the optimal gauge and tunnel recipe to reduce energy and plastic with no quality loss.

Technical notes

• POF gauges: 10–15–19–25 μm (standard widths available on request)
• PE gauges: 40–80–120 μm for sleeve/bundling
• Core: 3” (76 mm) — Outer diameter per width/gauge
• Food-grade options available for compliant applications
• Storage: keep in a cool, dry place to maintain handling and shrink behavior

FAQ

Is eco-friendly shrink film food safe?
Use certified food-grade POF for direct contact. For secondary packaging, both POF and PE are widely used.

Will thinner gauges reduce protection?
When the tunnel is properly tuned, thin films maintain clarity and strength while saving plastic.

Can I retrofit my existing line?
In most cases yes: re-tuning of airflow, temperature and belt speed is enough. We can support remotely.

What Is Shrink Film and Why It’s Essential for Packaging

Shrink film is one of the most versatile and effective materials used in the packaging industry. Thanks to its flexibility and adaptability, it is suitable for a wide range of products—from food trays (like fruit and vegetables) to pharmaceutical blisters and bottles, and other small or large items.

Key Properties of Our Transparent Shrink Film

• Waterproof: The film resists water, rain, humidity, and condensation, ensuring full protection.
• High Resistance: It withstands mechanical stress, transportation, and storage without tearing.
• Excellent Aesthetics: The high transparency enhances product visibility, giving a clean and attractive finish.

How Does Shrink Film Work?

The film is designed to shrink by up to 50% of its original size when exposed to heat, tightly wrapping the product. Once cooled, it maintains its new form, offering protection and a polished appearance.

Product Features and Available Formats

• High-transparency PVC film, with excellent gloss and rigidity.
• Ideal for use with bell-type and manual shrink wrapping machines.
• Very short shrink time, resulting in professional and compact packages.
• Available in single fold version, with the following widths:
  • 200 mm
  • 250 mm
  • 300 mm
  • 350 mm
  • 450 mm
  • 500 mm
  • 600 mm
  • 800 mm

Important Storage Note

During the summer months, heat may cause the film bands to shrink by 4–5 cm. We recommend choosing slightly wider bands and storing the rolls in a cool environment.

Reel Specifications

• Inner core diameter: 75 mm
• Outer diameter: 200–220 mm
• Reel tube width: 30–40 mm beyond the film width
