PETG shrink film (also known as PET-G heat shrinkable film) is a co-extruded, glycol-modified polyester known for high clarity, controlled TD shrinkage up to 75–80%, excellent heat resistance, and environmental friendliness. It starts shrinking around 70–80 °C, offering tight conformability around complex shapes with minimal MD shrink (“smile effect” control).
Ideal for beverage sleeve labels, cosmetics, food packaging, and retail security wraps, PETG excels where both visual appeal and functional performance matter.

PETG Bidirectional Shrink Film
| Feature | PETG Shrink Film | PVC Shrink Film | POF Shrink Film |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity | Exceptional transparency & gloss | Moderate clarity, may yellow | Excellent clarity, durable |
| Shrink Rate | Controlled, up to ~80% at moderate heat | Lower shrink, may not conform | Fast shrink, but lower clarity |
| Heat Resistance | High | Moderate | Very good |
| Toxicity | Non-toxic, recyclable | Emits chlorine gas, harmful | Food-safe, recyclable |
PETG is more eco-friendly than PVC (no chlorine release, recyclable) and offers better dimensional control than PVC with more aesthetic clarity for high-end packaging applications.
Thickness: 30–60 µm (also available in matte, transparent, and white variants)
Shrinkage: Up to 70–80% TD (transparent grades)
Shrink Temp: 70–80 °C start, full shrink under ~95 °C for most grades
Compatible with rotogravure, flexo, and UV-offset printing—achieves clear, vibrant prints for labels and sleeves
Matte finish options available for "paper-like" feel and handling (e.g., Transcendia 7M)
Brand visibility: Superior transparency and gloss deliver premium shelf impact for cosmetics, beverages, and electronics.
Smooth shrink behavior: Controlled shrink avoids distortions, particularly important for tapered/container wraps.
Sustainability: Recyclable, non-toxic—aligns with green packaging policies.
Printing flexibility: Supports various printing technologies without compromising shrink performance.
Complex geometries: Shrink film conforms tightly even on intricate shapes (e.g., curved bottles, jars).

Q1: What shrink ratio can PETG shrink film achieve?
A: PETG can deliver up to 75–80% TD shrinkage under ~95 °C, ideal for sleeve and cap wrapping.
Q2: Can PETG film print with UV inks?
A: Yes — PETG supports rotogravure, flexo, and UV offset, producing vivid graphics.
Q3: Is PETG recyclable? How does it compare to PVC?
A: PETG is fully recyclable and non-toxic. PVC, by contrast, may emit harmful gases and is more difficult to recycle.
