LDPE Shrink Film

Shrink Wrapping Films Manufacturer

Dhanshri Polypack specializes in manufacturing high-quality LDPE shrink wrapping films that provide optimal shrinkability for your packaging requirements.

LDPE shrink film is manufactured from low density polyethylene resin that shrinks up to 45% of its original size when exposed to heat. It emerges as one of the most commonly used shrink wrap packaging films offering following benefits:

• Excellent shrinkability to form tight wraps
• High tensile strength and puncture resistance
• Good clarity for see-through packaging
• Lightweight and durable material
• Can be used on high-speed wrapping machines
• Cost-effective compared to PVC films

LDPE films shrink around products when passed through heat shrink tunnels or exposed to heat guns. They are transparent allowing visibility of packaged contents.

LDPE Shrink Film Material Properties

LDPE plastic used for shrink films offers:

• Low density – provides transparency and flexibility
• High impact strength – does not crack or shatter
• Chemical resistance – prevents damage from packaged contents
• Thermal stability – allows exposure to high heat
• Elasticity and strength – withstands stretching and abuse

These properties make LDPE an ideal material for manufacturing high performance shrink wrapping films.

Shrink Film Production Process

Our LDPE shrink films are produced using an advanced manufacturing process:

• Raw material – LDPE resin is procured from certified suppliers
• Extrusion – LDPE granules are melted and extruded into a film
• Cooling – Films are cooled and solidified using chilled rolls
• Slitting – Films are slit into required widths
• Winding – Slit films are wound into rolls
• Printing – Films are printed with branding and labels
• Packing – Finished films are packed for dispatch

LDPE vs PVC Shrink Films

LDPE and PVC are two commonly used shrink wrapping films:

• LDPE has higher shrinkability. PVC offers higher gloss and clarity.
• LDPE has greater tensile strength. PVC provides better abrasion resistance.
• PVC shrinks at slightly lower temperatures.
• LDPE is more puncture resistant and chemically inert.
• PVC is preferred for consumer packaging. LDPE suits industrial packaging.
• LDPE is more economical than PVC.
