What is a Shrink Film?
Shrink film is produced in co-extruder machines using low-density polyethylene raw material in single-layer or multi-layer configurations. The molds in the PE Shrink Roll Filmco-extruder machines transform low-density polyethylene raw materials, which are melted by applying high heat and brought to the consistency of wax, into films by modifying their width and thickness. These films are then sent to cold storage and rested before being made ready for shipment after receiving approval from the quality control department and gaining other customer-requested features (such as printing, perforation, and lamination).
These shrink films, which are rendered fit for usage, are heat treated again in the shrink machines of the ordering companies, so that the products to be packaged are firmly wrapped and gripped, shrinking and protecting the products from external factors.
How to Produce a Shrink Film?
Shrink film is manufactured in co-extruder machines utilizing low density polyethylene raw material in single or multi-layer configurations. Low Density Polyethylene Raw Materials that have been melted and thickened by the use of high heat PE Shrink Roll Film are created by altering the sizes and thicknesses using molds found in filmco-extruder machines.
After the customer acquires other desired features (printing, punching, laminating, etc.) and the produced films are approved for use by the quality control department, they are taken to the cool air storage room and rested where they are ready to be shipped.
These usable shrink films are re-heated at shrink machines placed in ordering companies, and it is ensured that the products to be packed are tightly grabbed and gripped so that the products are squeezed and protected from external causes.
