Case Study: Pita Bread Manufacturer Improves Packaging Appearance and Costs with Flxtite® AP-1 Shrink Film

A wholesale baker of Pita breads and muffins was using corrugated cartons to package their products. They wanted to have a fresher look for their products, while saving money. They switched to using an automated flow-wrapper, equipped with a conventional “V” knife. Then, they began to use only corrugated trays and shrink-wrapped them with high clarity 75-gauge single-wind Flxtite® AP-1, a non-cross-linked, multi-layer polyolefin shrink, achieving their packaging goals. The packages had a fresh, neat look while reducing costs.(The compatibility of shrink films can vary depending on the type of sealing knife or equipment used, so selecting the right film for the “V” knife was important. )

Satisfied Customers Use Our Packaging Films Across Manufacturing Industries

Folene Packaging films have a vast array of applications for manufacturers across numerous industries. Here are some of the industries that use Flxtite® films for packaging their products:

Shrink Film for Contract Manufacturing: Optimize Space, Eliminate Waste

Contract manufacturing companies face the unique challenge of producing a wide range of products with varying shapes and sizes. Using traditional packaging materials such as boxes and cartons can lead to increased costs and reduced production efficiency when switching between different product packaging types and sizes. However, our high-quality polyolefin shrink film offers a versatile solution that is compatible with a wide range of product variations.

Our Flxtite® films are known for their exceptional strength, visual appeal, and tear resistance, making them the ideal choice for diverse product categories. With minimal adjustments during product transitions and by minimizing dwell time on the machine, manufacturers can ensure a seamless production line, improved sealing, and consistently high-quality contract manufacturing results.

Shrink film is a great option for contract manufacturing as it molds to the shape and size of the product, which helps in optimizing pallet and warehousing space. It also reduces the need for excessive packaging materials while still providing excellent product protection. Our Flxtite® AP-XH grade is a thick-gauge polyolefin film that can effectively replace corrugated cartons, ensuring the safety of the product during transit. Take a closer look at Flxtite® AP-XH to see if it suits your contract manufacturing needs. Not sure if this is the right film for you?
