Overview

How we make shrink film

Shrink film turns several items into one tidy, tamper-evident pack: bottles into a multipack, boxes into a bundle, a product into a sealed retail unit. It works best on firm, sharp-edged goods, and it keeps dust and moisture out during transport.

Printed shrink film can carry your colours, words and logo, which makes it useful for sleeve labels and promotional multipacks as well as protection.

Where it is used

  • Multipacks of bottles and cans
  • Bundling boxes and cartons
  • Tamper-evident seals and sleeves
  • Protecting goods in transport
  • Moisture protection for cables and parts

Made to order

  • Printed film with your branding
  • Widths cut to your packing line

Every order can be specified by film technology (compostable, oxo-biodegradable or conventional), size, gauge, colour and print. Multi-colour flexo printing runs up to 1600 mm wide.

Sectors

Made by a TBS, NEMC and WMA certified manufacturer.

How is shrink film applied?
