Plastic Film FAQ Section
Q: What is the shelf life of Plastic Film products?
A: The shelf life of Plastic Film depends on storage conditions and material type. Typically, LDPE and HDPE films can last 12-24 months when stored in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight. Specialized films with barrier coatings may have shorter shelf lives of 6-12 months due to coating degradation. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for each product.
Q: How do I choose the right Plastic Film thickness for my application?
A: Selecting the proper Plastic Film thickness involves considering several factors: the weight of your product, required barrier properties, and the type of packaging machinery being used. As a general guideline: lightweight products (under 5kg) typically use 25-50μm films, medium-weight items (5-15kg) require 50-100μm, and heavy-duty applications may need 100-200μm films. Our technical team can provide specific recommendations based on your requirements.
Environmental Considerations
Modern Plastic Film solutions include environmentally friendly options:
- Biodegradable films (ASTM D6400 compliant)
- Post-consumer recycled content (up to 100%)
- Thinner gauge options to reduce material usage
- Recycling-compatible material formulations
Q: Can Plastic Film be recycled?
A: Many types of Plastic Film are recyclable, though availability varies by location. LDPE and HDPE films (#4 and #2 plastics) are commonly accepted in supermarket collection programs. Clean, dry stretch films and shopping bags can typically be recycled. However, multi-layer films or those with special coatings may not be recyclable through standard channels. We recommend checking with local recycling facilities and considering our mono-material solutions designed for easier recycling.
