Shrink Film Types and Characteristics

Here are the characteristics of PVC shrink film, PETG shrink film, and PLA shrink film:

PVC Shrink Film:

1. Clarity: PVC shrink film offers excellent clarity, providing a transparent and glossy finish that allows products to be visible.

2. Shrinkability: PVC shrink film has high shrinkability when exposed to heat, forming a tight and secure wrap around products of various shapes and sizes.

3. Flexibility: PVC shrink film is highly flexible, conforming well to irregular shapes and contours without tearing or distorting.

4. Cost-effectiveness: PVC shrink film is generally more affordable compared to other shrink film materials, making it a popular choice for a wide range of packaging applications.

5. Widely Available: PVC shrink film is readily available in various thicknesses and sizes, catering to different packaging requirements across industries.

PETG Shrink Film:

1. Clarity and Gloss: PETG shrink film offers excellent clarity and glossiness, providing a clear and attractive packaging solution that enhances product visibility.

2. Strength: PETG shrink film is known for its strength and durability, offering good puncture resistance and tear strength, making it suitable for packaging heavier or more delicate items.

3. Shrinkability: PETG shrink film has moderate shrinkability when exposed to heat, providing a snug and secure wrap around products without excessive distortion.

4. Heat Resistance: PETG shrink film exhibits good heat resistance during the shrinking process, maintaining its integrity without deforming or melting at typical shrink temperatures.

5. Environmental Impact: PETG shrink film is recyclable, making it a more environmentally friendly option compared to PVC shrink film.

PLA Shrink Film:

1. Biodegradability: PLA shrink film is biodegradable and compostable, derived from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane, making it an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastics.

2. Transparency: PLA shrink film offers good transparency, allowing products to be visible even after packaging, enhancing product presentation.

3. Shrinkability: PLA shrink film has moderate shrinkability when exposed to heat, providing a secure wrap around products while maintaining product integrity.

4. Strength: Despite being biodegradable, PLA shrink film maintains reasonable strength and durability, ensuring reliable packaging performance.

5. Environmental Sustainability: PLA shrink film aligns with sustainability goals, as it breaks down naturally over time, reducing environmental impact and promoting a circular economy.
