Collation Shrink Films Market: An Overview
Collation shrink films are polymer plastic films manufactured from high-quality raw materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and others. On the effect of heat, collation shrink films soften and shrink. Then, the material is cooled down to ensure good holding strength for the product, both transversely and longitudinally. Collation shrink films offer secondary packaging solutions with an outstanding amalgamation of strength, stiffness, holding force, and excellent shrink performance. Collation shrink films are a cost-effective method of collating cans, bottles, cartons, books & magazines, and palletized goods. Also, collation shrink films cover the surface of the product, protecting it from dust and physical damage. The low weight of collation shrink films enables easier handling and transportation. Collation shrink films are 100% recyclable, and this factor is expected to create a positive outlook for the growth of the global collation shrink films market during the forecast period.
Collation Shrink Films Market: Dynamics
Across the globe, the demand for reliable packaging is increasing and the applications are becoming more diverse. Increasing requirement for thinner, stronger, and cost-effective films for secondary packaging applications which ensure that bundled products stay exceptionally secure, right from the packaging to the consumer, is likely to create significant demand in years to come. This factor is expected to fuel the growth of the collation shrink films market during the forecast period. Characterized by its puncture-resistant nature, along with optimum tightness, stability, and high gloss, collation shrink films are widely used for bundling cans, bottles, cartons, fruits & vegetables, and other products. Also, the low weight of collation shrink films offers multiple storage and transportation benefits over corrugated boxes and trays without compromising the security across the supply chain.
This factor is foreseen to drive the growth of the global collation shrink films market during the forecast period. The availability of transparent collation shrink films which offer good see-through, is proven to bolster brand identification and recognition. The printability option on collation shrink films offers a unique promotional opportunity for manufacturers and brand owners. Together, such factors are likely to push the growth of the global collation shrink films market during the forecast period. Collation shrink films are extruded under stringent quality control conditions which ensure safety and quality. Overall, the global collation shrink films market is expected to register significant momentum during the forecast period.
