Why POF is common for presentation packs

POF shrink film is widely used for retail cartons, books, cosmetics, boxed goods and printed packs because it can provide a clear finish with good presentation. The machine needs to suit the film width, thickness and shrink characteristics.

Machine settings

Seal and tunnel settings affect finish

Film performance depends on seal temperature, seal time, tunnel temperature, airflow and conveyor speed. Small changes in product size or film thickness can require setting adjustments.
