Crosslinked Shrink Film is often compared to non-crosslinked options when companies evaluate packaging performance for different applications. Both film types serve valuable roles in shrink wrapping, but they are structured differently and deliver distinct results depending on the packaging environment.

At jtpackage, we supply both film types and often work with customers who need support in choosing between them. Crosslinked Shrink Film goes through an additional molecular bonding process that increases its strength, making it less likely to tear under pressure or during high-speed operations. It also tends to perform better in higher heat environments and when wrapping heavier items.

Non-crosslinked shrink film, on the other hand, provides more flexibility and works well at lower shrink temperatures. This makes it a practical option for lightweight products or packaging lines where energy efficiency and easier sealing are priorities. jtpackage’s standard shrink films are often used in retail packaging, food service items, and small product kits.

Real-world applications show that crosslinked film maintains stability under tighter shrink conditions and during long-distance transport. Non-crosslinked film is appreciated for its adaptability and ease of use. Choosing the right material depends on the specific use case: whether speed, shape conformity, or impact resistance is the goal.

jtpackage provides product testing and sample rolls for clients evaluating different packaging setups. We offer insight on how each film type performs with specific machines, sealing bars, and temperature profiles.
