We have been working on offering polyolefin shrink bags for several months now. We have finally made them available online for our customers to purchase. U.S. Packaging & Wrapping has always wanted to offer a polyolefin bag because of the many benefits polyolefin offers.
Overall, polyolefin bags are superior bags over PVC shrink bags. They are more expensive, but worth the extra cost when wrapping certain items. Polyolefin is a softer film that offers more tear resistance and a better seal. Pof shrink bags are great for customers wrapping boxes and having issues with tearing on the corners of the boxes. The polyolefin shrink bags have more stretch and should not tear on box corners like a PVC shrink bag does.
One one the main reasons we are excited to offer polyolefin bags is because they are FDA approved for direct food contact. Our PVC shrink bags can not come into direct contact with food products. We have always offered polyolefin centerfold shrink wrap rolls, but the bags are often times easier and more efficient to use. We currently have several clients that use a centerfold polyolefin shrink wrap to wrap food products. Without an L-Bar sealer, sealing centerfold shrink wrap can often be tedious and time consuming.
Polyolefin offers several advantages over PVC shrink wrap. Below are a few benefits:
Softer Film
Stronger Seals
High Clarity
FDA Approved
Smoke & Odor Free
Ideal For Cold Storage
