How does ShrinkStyle® work
ShrinkStyle® combines the benefits of thermoforming and shrink bag technology. It starts with the forming of the bottom film. The product is then loaded and sealed under vacuum using high-precision technology. After cross- and longitudinal cutting, or optional contour cutting, the subsequent shrink process ensures the second-skin appearance – robust yet eye-catching.
No seal contamination
The specially designed loading process eliminates the common problem of contamination in the sealing areas. In addition, the system guarantees the highest levels of productivity and significantly reduces personnel and material costs. ShrinkStyle® allows the use of all standard shrink and maturation films, irrespective of strength or print.
