19 Micron POF Shrink Sleeves
19 micron polyolefin shrink sleeves are designed for clear, attractive product presentation and efficient heat-shrink packaging. Their strength, machinability and optical clarity make them suitable for display-oriented packaging applications.
Polyolefin shrink sleeves use a multi-layer film structure and can be supplied with additional performance characteristics depending on the specification. The supplied product information refers to properties such as hot slip and anti-fog treatment.
The sleeves are intended for use across manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic shrink-wrapping equipment, subject to appropriate machine settings and operating conditions.
Key Features of Polyolefin Shrink Sleeves
Key characteristics include high transparency, a glossy finish, good yield and mechanical resistance. The clear film allows the packed product to remain visible while the shrink process creates a close-fitting outer wrap.
The 19 micron construction is designed to provide useful shrinkability and heat-sealing performance while remaining relatively thin. This can be helpful when packaging products with irregular shapes or edges.
Applications of Polyolefin Shrink Sleeves
Typical applications listed in the supplied information include toys, technical products, board games, books, cardboard boxes, fruit, vegetables, flowers, bakery products, cakes and confectionery.
The supplied product information also describes polyolefin shrink sleeves as odourless and tasteless and suitable for both manually operated and automated equipment. Suitability should be confirmed for the specific product and packaging process.
Polyolefin shrink sleeves is also easily recycled and no harmful vapours are emitted during heat sealing. Its technical parameters prove that it can be used on both manually operated and fully automated machines. It does not cause any machine corrosion, extending machine life and resulting in lower maintenance costs. These advantages make the polyolefin shrink sleeves a good alternative to PVC sleeves.
