HUBEI HYF PACKAGING CO., LTD.

We are flexible, welcome to contact us if any question.

Q: How does HYF package the product?
A:

HYF packages two ways, vertical (which is the usual manner of shipment.) and horizontal for some of our larger sizes. We have two sizes of paper cores, six inch (153mm) and three inch (76mm).

For vertical packaging, the roll is wrapped with film with corepads attached to the ends of the roll by inserting plastic plugs into the core. The roll is then wrapped with thermal insulation film for protection.

For horizontal packaging the roll is wrapped with polyethylene film and set on fumigation-free plywood end boards. The rolls are then strapped to each other and to the pallet. Finally, each pallet is then stretched wrapped prior to shipment.

Q: How does HYF splice their product?
A:

Q: How do I know how many splices are in a roll?
A:

The number of splices is listed on the production label.

Q: What if I have a need for a special product?
A:

If a customer has a special product need, HYF would take appropriate action after confirming and discussing the issue with the customer.

Q: How should the film be stored?
A:

Heat shrinkable film is unlike other film substrates. You must take care that the film is stored at or below the temperature suggested to prevent premature shrinkage from occurring. Care must also be taken in storing the film after printing, and in shipping film to co-packers or end-users. Some natural shrink information is provided for you on each specification sheet. This goes for all shrinkable film.

Q: Are HYF films Corona Treated?
A:

No. None of HYF's PVC, PETG shrink films are Corona treated. HYF film can be successfully printed without Corona treating. If you wish to Corona treat the film, please treat immediately prior to printing.

Q: Can I receive a sample of your products?

Yes, you can.

For PVC and PETG shrink film, one small roll sample with 200m could be provided as free sample, but the transportation fee is afforded by your side.

For PLA shrink film, the sampling fee and transportation need be afforded by your side.

Q: What is the minimum number of shrink sleeves I can order?

Q: How shrink sleeve films be stored?
A:

--- Do not expose to rapid temperature changes

--- Do not store in direct sunlight

--- For mechanical, moisture and dust protection, store film in its original packaging.

Q: What are PVC and PETG?
A:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified (PETG) are two commonly used shrink sleeve materials.


PVC – Easiest to control, generally the most cost-effective and offers good scuff resistance. Unit cost is less and it works better on some applications than PETG. There are two types of PVC – high shrink PVC and standard PVC.


PETG – Offers the best scuff resistance, has the highest percentage of shrink ability and easily recyclable. It’s also more stable and readily available. More customers are choosing PETG over PVC because it’s more readily available.

Q: How do I request a quote?
A:

You can request a quote by speaking with us online or send emails. For a firm quote, it is better to provide us the type of film with detailed size and quantity.
