Why film width matters
If the film is too narrow the pack will not close correctly. If it is too wide, excess film can reduce presentation quality and increase material cost. The correct width depends on pack width, height and the way the product is presented.
POF and PE considerations
POF is common for retail presentation shrink wrapping. PE is often considered for larger grouped packs and heavier transit applications. The machine, tunnel and product handling should be matched to the film route.
Send real pack samples where possible
Photographs, dimensions and sample packs help confirm whether a standard route is suitable or whether product handling needs extra attention.
