The Polyolefin Shrink Film Advantage

Polyolefin shrink film is becoming more popular in the shrink film industry. Why? It has several advantages over PVC shrink film :

  • Environmentally friendly – easily recyclable
  • Lower cost per foot than PVC
  • Ages gracefully – It doesn’t become brittle and yellow with age
  • Pliable – It’s more pliable than PVC film and does not tear easily
  • Exceptional tensile strength
  • Tear Resistant
  • Excellent Clarity
  • FDA Approved – safe for direct food contact

Below are a list of the different polyolefin shrink films that Tarheel Paper Co. carries.
