OPS shrink film
OPS shrink sleeve film is a lightweight, high clarity material designed for full-body shrink labels. It offers excellent printability, consistent shrink performance, and a smooth, high gloss finish – ideal for brands seeking both shelf appeal and production efficiency.
Description
OPS shrink sleeve film combines visual quality with reliable shrink behavior, making it a popular choice for packaging across food, beverage, and personal care industries. Its stiffness and dimensional stability help ensure smooth handling and consistent application, particularly on cylindrical or moderately contoured containers.
Key Features
High Clarity
Offers excellent transparency that enhances product visibility and highlights printed graphics.
Controlled Shrink Performance
Offers consistent transverse shrinkage (up to 70%) with minimal shrink in the machine direction (5–10%). Its natural stiffness resists vertical distortion, helping the label maintain height and alignment during application.
Visually Appealing Finish
Features a high-gloss surface that adds visual impact and elevates shelf presence.
Lightweight and Material Efficient
OPS has a naturally lower density than many common shrink films and retains stiffness even at thinner gauges. This allows for lighter labels that use less raw material—helping reduce packaging weight and improve cost efficiency.
Production-Friendly
Its rigidity allows for smooth cutting, seaming, and high-speed application with minimal distortion.
Tamper-Evident Compatibility
Supports applications requiring tamper-evident banding or seals for added product security.
Applications
Beverage Bottles
Ideal for water, juice, tea, and functional drinks with cylindrical or straight-sided shapes.
Dairy and Yogurt Containers
Provides clear branding and full-wrap coverage for cups and bottles.
Wine and Spirits
Enhances premium packaging with high-end print clarity and gloss.
Personal Care Products
Suitable for shampoos, lotions, and cosmetic containers requiring clean, uniform wrapping.
Household and Cleaning Products
Durable enough for daily-use packaging with tamper-evident potential.
Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals
Supports regulatory labeling with visual clarity and product protection.
