PLA
Shrink
wrapper
A packaging-machinery manufacturer has collaborated with two
developers of the corn-based biodegradable polylactide (PLA)
film to create a shrink wrapper designed to package products of
different sizes and shapes into bundles using PLA film. The
automatic Eco-Bundler can shrink-wrap packages in the PLA film
or traditional polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC films. The
machine is designed to completely cover packages in the
shrink-wrapping process to protect the product from dust, water,
and scratches. The biodegradable film is designed to provide
high clarity and can wrap around any configuration of bottles,
boxes, and odd-shaped containers.
