films Non-Food – What Matters

In the non-food sector, packaging plays a key role in influencing purchasing decisions. The product should sell itself—and the film helps make that happen.

Appearance & Presentation

Transparency: A clear view of the product. Customers buy what they see. High-glossfilms the visual impact on the shelf.

Printability: Product name, brand logo, EAN code, or care instructions printed directly on the film. Less additional material, clear communication at the point of sale.

Wrinkle-free packaging: Thanks to uniform shrinkage in all directions, the film lies smoothly against the product—even on complex shapes.

Protection during transport

Mechanical protection: The film protects against dents, scratches, and damage during retail display and in transit.

Moisture protection: Products stay dry and undamaged—in storage and during transport.

Tamper-evident packaging: Once shrink-wrapped, the packaging shows visible signs of tampering if someone tries to open it. Authenticity at a glance.
