5 Benefits of LDPE packaging

1. Film Shrink Potential

2. Packaging Waste Reduction

3. Shipping Cost Reductions

4. Various Film Blends and

Thicknesses (depending
application)

5. Different Types of Wraps

(depending on product and
distribution needs)
 1.Film Shrink Potential
The manufacturing process of LDPE film allows the
shrink potential around a product to be between 40%
60% in the machine direction, or length of the film, and
5% 15% in the transverse direction, or width of film.
Shrinkage occurs when the film absorbs energy,
typically through the form of heat energy, causing the
molecule chains to return to a more natural
arrangement. The film casts to the product, creating a
tight unitized pack. This provides additional shipping,
palletizing and handling benefits compared to unitizing
and packaging products within a corrugated box
 2.Packaging Waste Reduction
Anyone who has ever received a package knows
that once received, the box must be broken
down, and stored somewhere until it can be
disposed of properly. Shrink bundling reduces the
amount of packaging, in addition plastic
packaging and LDPE film creates less greenhouse
gases than alternative packaging. In addition,
LDPE film can be collected and recycled to create
new end-products. Product manufacturers
looking to reduce packaging and develop a zero
waste initiative, benefit shrink film for bundling
and distribution.
 3.Shipping Cost Reductions
Shrink bundling products in LDPE film can
minimize the overall size and weight of a package,
resulting in lower shipping costs. Product
manufacturers find that replacing a corrugated
box with a tray or pad, helps to reduce overall
shipping costs. And in some instances, can
increase pallet density. A good example of this is
shrink bundling gable top bags for the pet food
industry. Using EDLs Double-Tight Wrap shrink
bundler to create a brick-like package,
manufacturers can maximize pallet density.
 4.Various Film Blends and
Thicknesses (depending
application)
Packaging LDPE film gauge typically ranges
between 1.0 to 4.0 mils and can be blended
with various chemical additives or other film
materials to enhance the original properties.
Film rolls can be clear, opaque, randomly
printed, or print registered. This benefits
manufacturers looking to achieve a specific
goal or product need beyond corrugated.
 5.Different Types of Wraps
(depending on product and
distribution needs)
LDPEs flexible properties allow for various enclosures to be achieved using
EDL Packaging equipment. The enclosure type is dependent on both the
product and distribution requirements. In addition to creating unitizing
packs, different enclosure types can provide aesthetically appealing
packaging (for example windows being shipped to a big box retailer),
primary packaging protection from dust or abrasions, containment of
potential primary packaging leaks, or tamper evidence.

The benefits of LDPE as a packaging solution are significant. For windows,

bagged food products, personal care products and many others, LDPE is a
practical packaging choice. Its the preferred bundling material for
manufacturers looking to protect, unitize and distribute products while
reducing pallet cost, enhancing visual display, while providing flexibility in
film type, thickness, wraps and even printing.
