PETG Shrink Film

What Is PETG Shrink Film?

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.

FAQ

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.
