A wide variety of film types are used for packaging. Performance factors, customer appeal and the product being packaged all play an important role in the process of selecting the best film(s) for the application. Today films are available with many different characteristics. For example, films may be opaque, translucent, stiff or very flexible. Applications may demand chemical resistance, heat resistance, or slide resistance. The packaging may require stretch or shrink capabilities. Films may also be used as barriers to oxygen or light. All of these variables must be discussed before choosing a film. Once that decision is made and the graphics and application are determined, Prime UV-IR will work with you and the other suppliers to choose the correct drying or curing system to achieve your goals.
