Opaque White Shrink Sleeve Film

White PETG Shrink Film

White PETG shrink film is an opaque, heat-shrinkable plastic film made from glycol-modified polyethylene terephthalate with white pigment.

Its key advantages include super-white opacity, high TD shrinkage, and excellent print contrast for vibrant graphics.

It can shrink up to more than 75% in the transverse direction with minimal machine-direction shrinkage (≤3.0%).

Common applications include dairy products (milk bottles, yogurt cups), light-sensitive beverages, cosmetic containers, and any packaging requiring opaque branding.

White PETG Shrink Film Applications

White PETG shrink film is widely used in food and beverage, dairy, cosmetics and personal care, pharmaceutical, and household products industries. Typical applications include opaque full-body sleeve labels, milk and yogurt bottle wraps, vitamin and supplement bottles, and any container requiring light-blocking branding or content concealment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does JFPolyFilm verify the quality of every batch?
We collect samples of at least 5 meters from every production batch and run full property tests — shrinkage rate, thickness uniformity, haze, tensile strength — then issue a Certificate of Analysis (COA) attached to each shipment.
How many splices are in a shrink film roll?
The number of splices is printed on the roll label on the side of each roll. In most cases our White PETG Shrink Film rolls have zero splices.
How does JFPolyFilm identify each roll and pallet?
Each roll carries a label on its side identifying batch number, length, width, and production date. Each pallet has a label attached to the outside of the outer thermal insulation cover identifying the SKUs inside.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ depends on film grade, thickness, width, and color. Please contact us with your specifications for an exact quote — most standard White PETG Shrink Film orders start at 1 ton.
How is the film packed and shipped internationally?
Two packing methods: vertical packing (~20 rolls per pallet) for higher density, or horizontal packing (6 rolls per pallet) for sensitive jobs. Both are wrapped in polyethylene film with protective boards top and bottom to prevent shipping damage. Please contact our sales team for more details and photos.
How should the film be stored?
Store at 10-30°C (50-86°F) in a dry environment. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture, and dust. Recommended shelf life is 12 months in original packaging.
What printing methods are compatible with the film?
Gravure printing, flexographic printing, and UV inkjet printing all work well with our White PETG Shrink Film. The film accepts ink directly without corona pre-treatment.
Is the film corona-treated for printing?
No, corona treatment is not required. Our White PETG Shrink Film accepts gravure and flexographic ink directly thanks to its inherent surface energy.
Can I request product samples before placing an order?
Yes. We offer A4 sheet samples, 300m short rolls, or 2000m short rolls. Customer covers shipping costs.
How does the white pigment affect shrinkage performance?
The white pigment slightly reduces TD shrinkage compared to clear PETG, but the ≥75% transverse direction shrinkage and ≤3.0% machine direction shrinkage remain more than sufficient for standard full-body sleeve label applications on dairy, cosmetic, and household containers.
Can white PETG film hide the contents of a container?
Yes. Our white PETG film has haze ≥100% and transmittance ≤30%, effectively concealing container contents — ideal for light-sensitive products like dairy, vitamins, and UV-sensitive cosmetics.
What's the recommended shrink tunnel temperature?
Best results are achieved between 95-100°C. Options: boiling water bath (90-100°C), hot air tunnel (95-110°C surface, film actual ~95°C), or steam shrink tunnel (90-100°C). A heat gun can be used for prototyping small batches.
