Film Overview
Flxtite® AP-1 shrink film is a non-irradiated, multi-layer polyolefin film that delivers high clarity, high gloss, and strong seal strength. It seals at lower temperatures and has quicker dwell times, making it more cost-effective and manufacturing-efficient than crosslinked films. AP-1 has outstanding tear strength, making it ideal for packaging products that require reliable and secure sealing. Its non-crosslinked (non-irradiated) formulation is also fully recyclable, making it a sustainable packaging option for eco-conscious brands.
Flxtite® AP-1 non-irradiated film can only run on machines equipped with hot wire or “V” knife sealing systems.
Compatible with
