Industry Terms Polyethylene: Polyethylene comes in low density (LDPE), medium density (MDPE), or high density (HDPE). Shrink Wrap uses low density (LDPE) or low linear density (LLDPE), a tougher choice with better heat seal strength but contains more haze. Polyethylene is more cost-effective than other shrink films. It shrinks 50% – 65% machine direction and 0% – 25% transverse direction. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC is more expensive than Polyethylene. PVC is a rigid, stiff, and very clean film. The oriented version is used mainly for shrink film applications. Cleaner than Polyethylene, PVC shrinks at a lower temperature. The shrink is 65% – 75% machine direction and 10% – 30% transverse direction. Polyolefin: The strength, clarity, and high gloss of Polyolefin make it a good film for retail packaging. It has a very high shrink film in both directions: 50% transverse and 80% machine direction. This is the most expensive among shrink film solutions. Density: Weight per unit volume. Films with a low density offer more coverage per weight of the film. Center Folded Film: Film folded in half in the machine direction and then wound into roll form. Forming Head (Plow): A mechanical device used to shape flat or centerfold film into the desired bag shape needed for a particular package. Heat Sealing: Joining plastic films by controlled application of heat and pressure to the area being sealed. Lap Seal: A sealing method, plastic films where the two pieces to be sealed are over-lapped, then heated to form a seal. Machine Direction (MD): The direction parallel to that taken by the majority of molecules in plastic film or the film web’s direction as it moves through the film-making machine. Also called longitudinal direction. Shrinkage / Percent Shrink: The decrease in dimension of a film when it is subjected to heat. Transverse Direction (TD): The direction at right angles to that taken by most molecules in a plastic film or the direction at right angles is taken by the film web as it moves through the film-making machine.
