PVC shrink film traco

When it comes time to package your product you want to choose a packaging film that will improve product appearance and quality. Traco is an industry leading manufacturer and suppliers of the finest PVC packaging films available. Traco’s PVC shrink film is available in their traditional (more rigid) formulation as well as their softer (more supple) formulation. Depending on your preference either choice will package your products to meet the most stringent standards enforced.

Traditional PVC Shrink Film

Popular among manufacturers, Traco’s traditional PVC shrink films are known for their smooth, flat surface, highly reflective appearance, and high clarity. It is very versatile and will perform well on low, medium, or high-speed applications. This manufacturer favorite film is often used by suppliers of art and frame products, CD’s, DVDs, and VHS tapes. Traditional PVC shrink film is ideal for manufacturers or suppliers of candles due to its ability to resist color bleed and odor leaching, although any product can be packaged with this film. Traco’s traditional PVC shrink film requires very low temperature to shrink (works great with heat guns). This shrink film is ideal for operators who work with (low end) 110 volt sealers and shrink tunnels as well as 220 volt systems. It has the ability to resist ambient heat in transit and storage. Suppliers prefer traditional PVC shrink film because it improves shelf life and is less likely to experience problems with blocking from unintended exposure to heat or sunlight. Traditional PVC films are ideal for food manufacturers or processing plants. It’s the number one choice for food suppliers needing to shrink wrap fruit baskets because of its FDA compliance for direct food contact.

Soft PVC Shrink Film

Their newest product for manufacturers and suppliers is soft PVC film. They are manufactured with scattered micro-perforations to prevent heat-shrink balloon bursts, holes, and tears. Their soft PVC shrink film has the ability to make strong seals while maintaining a “pliable” feel around a package. Soft PVC shrink film is a manufacturer favorite because it’s easy to work with. Soft PVC shrink film has the ability to over-wrap packages on a wide variety of shrink wrap machines including 110 volt or 220 volt systems.

Ask one of their packaging specialists for a free sample to test on your equipment. They will help manufacturers or suppliers determine whether their Traditional PVC shrink film or their Soft PVC shrink film will best suit your packaging needs.

Options: Center folded, single wound, tubing, roll lengths, guages, micro-perforations, substrate formulations, clear, tinted or printed.
