Films for the Future

Paul Pritchett, sales and marketing manager for Seal-It, says his company offers EarthFirst PLA film to its customers for shrink sleeve label applications and for tamper-evident bands. “This product provides an alternative to traditional petroleum-based shrink films,” he notes. “It’s made from plants, an annually renewable resource and it’s compostable. In addition, it is more stable than other shrink films and shrink initiates faster in the heat tunnel. This equates to less energy used as you can turn down your tunnels and run PLA product through at faster speeds.”
