Shrink Film Packaging
Get the most out of collation shrink film packaging
The benefits of collation shrink film are numerous. Not only do they seamlessly bundle together multiple items, but their versatile branding opportunities make for fantastic shelf-life appeal. Through collaborations with progressive brand owners, we have gained decades of valuable experience which enables us to help you get the most out of collation shrink film packaging.
Our resins are each designed to facilitate different packaging goals, and you can put our entire range of high-performance solutions to the test at our Pack Studios locations, using 3D virtual modelling of shrink film structures and industry-scale fabrication lines.
Across the globe, we develop solutions that integrate post-consumer recycled (PCR) content for collation shrink films while maximizing performance. Get in touch to learn about the solutions available in your region.
Benefits of collation shrink films across the value chain
Efficient and cost competitive film production
- Trend for improved manufacturing output during extrusion while maintaining optimum thickness tolerance
- Continuous drive to downgauge films optimization 40 μm for 3-layer structures or 30 μm for 5-layer structures
- Products with high versatility for broader use in different formulations and package formats
Efficient and cost competitive packing
- Trend for high speed packing machines
- Homogeneous shrinking behavior in both directions
- Applicable for a broad range of products and formats
Goods safely transported and brand promotion
