    Say Goodbye to Film Packaging Supply-Chain Issues

    The Coronavirus Pandemic exposed how vulnerable our supply chain is and how important it is to be self-reliant, particularly in the packaging and shipping industry. If your packaging supplier runs out of the film you need, that immediately impacts your production, fulfillment, and bottom line while you wait for them to restock supplies.

    As the American arm of an established European packaging film manufacturer, we make all of our premium polyolefin films from raw crosslinked film master product we produce in Europe and convert ourselves locally. This unique approach allows us to maintain a large stock of centerfolds in standard sizes and gauges and provide fast fulfillment on large, customized orders. If our warehouse runs out, we just dial up conversion production, so our customers never feel the lack. With delivery lead times as low as 48 hours from order placement, it’s no wonder that companies are choosing Folene Packaging for their packaging film supply security.

    FAQs about Packaging Films

    What is the difference between polyolefin, PVC, and polyethylene shrink packaging films?

    Answer: Polyolefin shrink films are made from a type of plastic that is more environmentally friendly than PVC and polyethylene. PVC shrink film is a popular choice for wrapping food products, while polyethylene shrink film is commonly used for bundling products together.

    Polyolefin shrink film has a number of product packaging advantages.

    • Increases Shelf Life of perishable products like food by protecting against moisture, dust, and other contaminants
    • Increases Product Integrity by protecting from damage during shipping and handling
    • Reduces Shipping Costs by reducing the need for excess protective packing materials.
    • Improves Shelf Appearance by providing a clear, glossy finish. Consumer behavior studies have found that consumers perceive products with plastic overwrap as premium quality and can be more inclined to purchase them.
    • Optimizes Package Size by shrinking the packaging to product size, you can optimize pallet and warehousing space.
    • Unitization & Bundling encourage consumers to buy more products or try a new promotional product you can include in the package.
    • Tamper Evidence—Shrink film clearly shows when a package has been opened, which is especially important in the food and healthcare industries.
