Market Description

PVC shrink films are flexible plastic films that shrink tightly around products when heat is applied, offering secure packaging, enhanced shelf appeal, and tamper evidence. These films are widely used in food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and consumer goods due to their excellent clarity, gloss, printability, and controlled shrink properties.

The market benefits from rising demand for cost-effective and visually appealing packaging solutions, particularly in retail-ready and multipack applications. Despite growing environmental scrutiny, PVC shrink films continue to be used where high shrink force, durability, and print quality are critical.
