Shrink film is a major application within the polyethylene resin

segment. The majority of the resin consumption in this application is by LDPE (low density polyethylene). Although its development has reached a more or less mature state, shrink film is still a

youngster if we compare its age with other traditional packaging

materials like, for instance, paper and cardboard. Its advantages

and specific properties explain the growth and present

importance of shrink film.
