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.
