SAMY SHRINK WRAP are wraps constructed from film material that rather than using adhesive, shrinks to a product’s surface when heat is applied. This type of labeling allows the graphics to be printed around the entire circumference as well as take the shape of the product’s container. In a very competitive world, the eye-catching 360° graphics has great consumer appeal. Advantages of SAMY SHRINK WRAP:

1. Cost effective product labeling and decoration
2. High end look and feel adds value to the product with eye catching design
3. Allows labeling & decorating on complex shaped containers
4. Eliminates custom printed containers
5. One-off prototypes and short runs for market testing
6. 360 degrees graphics market the product from every angle

Many industries are rapidly adopting the 360° graphics that shrink wrap labels provide. Extremely popular in food and beverage products shrink wraps can are also used to decorate pet products, personal care and cosmetic products, pharmaceuticals, retail products and many more.
The file material used to create the wraps is typically PVC, PETG, OPP, PP and custom formulations. See our technical details for more information on Shrink wrap film materials.

Types of Shrink wraps

Samy shrink wraps:
Samy shrink wraps do not necessarily have to cover the entire surface area of a container, though they can as Full Body Shrink wraps. Shrink wraps can cover only a portion of the container, such as the shoulder, and shrinks to fit once heat is applied, allowing unconventional contours to display sleek graphics that adhesive labels would not stick to without bunching. These labels will generally be placed on the body of the container, letting the cap or lid be sealed separately with a shrink band or through the use of some other type of seal, though it is possible to to it in one shot with one shrink wrap. Shrink wrap labels can save in warehousing costs, especially when packaging different varieties of the same type of product. Instead of having to warehouse several different printed containers, only one blank container and the different product labels would need to be warehoused, greatly reducing the space needed for the variety of packaging.

Full Body Samy Shrink wraps:
Full body shrink wraps form fit to the entire body of the container. They will shrink to fit the contour of the entire container, allowing it to be decorated 360 degrees from top to bottom, maximizing marketing space. The full body shrink wrap can easily give an old product an updated appearance by using shrink wraps to cover up the old label, or offer an opportunity to re-brand the product and create exceptional shelf appeal. The portion of the wrap covering the cap or lid can be perforated, making it esier to remove while forming a tamper-evident band that gives customers piece of mind when buying your product. Full body shrink wraps feature UV protection, something smaller labels cannot accomplish. Full body shrink wraps can also be used to package two containers together with Combination Packaging.

Preforms:
Preforms are shrink film bands manufactured to fit particular shapes of containers, eliminating the need for custom designs. Preformed bands work especially well with reverse tapered containers and containers that do not have shoulders to hold the band in place before shrinking. As is the case with all shrink film, preforms will shrink to fit tightly around the container once heat is applied. These bands can be clear, colored, preprinted or custom printed. Preform bands can be easily applied by hand and sent through the heat shrinking process. Preforms are most commonly used as tamper-evident bands.

Tamper-Evident Bands:
Tamper-evident bands are one of the major uses of preform shrink film. These bands can be printed with warning messages or safety seal text and are often used in conjunction with another type of warning label – advising that if the seal provided by the tamper-evident band is broken the product may not be good. The use of tamper-evident bands promotes a sense of security to the consumer that the product has not been altered throughout the distribution process. Vertical and horizontal perforations can be added to make the band easier to remove. Tamper-evident bands are common in food and pharmaceutical industries.

Combination Packaging:
Combination packaging uses shrink wraps to package multiple containers together for the purpose of offering it as one product. Using form fitting shrink wrap material allows you to package different sized and shaped containers together easily. There are many benefits and reasons for combo packaging including:

• Customer savings
• Free samples for new product promotions
• Get rid of excess inventory by selling more slow moving items at a time
• Increase sales during slow periods with buy one get one free enticements
• Use complementary products – Free gift/bonus with purchase
