Packaging film ZDF03

shrinkfor food packagingfor pharmaceuticals packaging

Overview
ZDF03 is a cross-linked (irradiated) polyolefin shrink film engineered for broad industrial packaging use. The crosslinking process delivers improved shrinkability, higher strength and toughness, wide sealing window and enhanced resistance to puncture and tearing, making it compatible with most modern packaging systems.

Performance summary
Up to 80% free shrink (typical), improved mechanical strength and toughness for secure packs, wide sealing temperature range with strong seals and reduced wire-drawing during sealing.

Available thicknesses

• 12 µm
• 15 µm
• 19 µm
• 25 µm
• 30 µm
• 38 µm
• 52 µm

Key features

• Strength and puncture resistance: high resistance to puncture and tearing to minimize transport and storage damage.
• Clarity: excellent transparency for visible packaging and reliable barcode scanning.
• Customization: available in multiple sizes, thicknesses and colors to match packaging requirements.
• Shrinkability: conforms tightly to irregular or oversized items when heated, protecting against moisture, dust and contaminants.
• Recyclability: stated by manufacturer as 100% recyclable.

Applications
Suitable for food, pharmaceutical, electronics, consumer goods and industrial product packaging. Ideal for bundling, collating small items, wrapping irregularly shaped or oversized products, and protecting fragile items.
