Polylactic Acid 100% Biodegradable Shrink Film , Excellent Printability
1. Knowledge About PLA shrink film
PLA shrink film, a new, renewable and economically stable plant-based technology that replaces traditional petroleum-based shrink labels is labeling made from PolyLactic Acid (PLA). The bio-based shrink labels and tamper-evident bands made from PLA are a natural option that can reinforce the purity, natural and close to nature commitment and positioning of the natural product and nutritional supplement brands.
The shrink curve of PLA is faster and more powerful than PVC, OPS or PETG film. Less energy is used in the application process, and lower heat can allow for use of thinner walled containers. In fact, processing at the higher temperatures that are typically used on a PVC or PETG may cause container distortion on a thinner-walled container. It is recommended that full body sleeves be applied after product filling, or by steam, to minimize damage to containers during the sleeve application.
