Shrink Film is an economical plastic material used for product packaging in various industries and it can be tailored specifically to each brand's requirements. It can help protect products while simultaneously improving their appearance for retail display, making shrink film an invaluable form of protection and enhancement.
Selecting the appropriate shrink film type can be challenging, so it's essential that you carefully consider which will meet the needs of your product or application. Common types include POF (polyolefin), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
Each of these polymers boasts distinctive properties that make it appropriate for different applications. For instance, POF shrink film is FDA-approved for food use and does not contain chlorine - two features that make it suitable for products exposed to environmental conditions. Furthermore, its cost and tear/puncture resistance make it a desirable packaging material choice.
POF shrink film can also be cross-linked for extra durability and strength without altering its transparency, making it the ideal solution for bulky or irregularly shaped products. In addition, heating POF doesn't emit any unpleasant odors while remaining highly resistant to environmental factors such as humidity and UV light exposure.
PET shrink film is another eco-friendly solution, made from recycled products and offering more sustainable alternatives than PVC. Additionally, its soft yet flexible texture makes it suitable for packaging food and beverages of various kinds - it even supports up to eight color printing!
Once the shrink film has been applied, it must be heated before shrinking properly. This can be accomplished using heat guns or equipment like a shrink tunnel or oven; to achieve the best results, heat should be evenly applied across its entirety; any remaining adhesive residue should also be removed before heating for optimal results.
Shrink plastic can be used to craft stunning and unique crafts for people of all ages, ranging from jewelry to brooches. One popular use for shrink plastic is making "shrinky dinks", an enjoyable activity the entire family can participate in! Your imagination is the limit here!
