Heat shrink packaging is a widely used packaging method in commodity packaging, with transparent set, sealed, moisture-proof and other characteristics. Its simple process equipment, low packaging costs, and a variety of packaging methods, highly favored by businesses and consumers. Correspondingly, heat shrink labels are mainly used in heat shrink packaging, is now in the midst of rapid growth, market share is expanding, the annual growth rate is expected to remain at about 15%, far exceeding the growth rate of the general label market, with great potential for development. Heat shrink labels are becoming one of the biggest bright spots in the label industry.  
    Robust demand 
    At present, China's food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals four industries heat shrink film annual needs of about more than 1 million tons, but the PET-G heat shrink film less, mainly imported from abroad, only Shandong Fuwei, Guangdong Huaye and Tianjin Wanhua 3 manufacturers, and the annual output of less than 4,000 tons. Therefore, domestic PET-G heat shrink film only accounts for 1.5% of the market demand, far from meeting the country will be eliminated PVC and other heat shrink film replacement requirements. 
    Huge potential 
    In China, heat shrink film is mainly used in the following three areas. 
    In the field of beverage packaging, the total amount of heat shrink film soft drink bottle labels required for the soft drink packaging, dairy packaging and pure water packaging market is over 100,000 tons, and is growing at an average annual rate of 18%. 
    In the field of pharmaceutical packaging, heat shrink film is replacing paper boxes greatly reduce the cost of pharmaceutical companies packaging. Pharmaceutical packaging mainly refers to the bottles, caps, boxes and films used for packaging drugs and medical machinery. 
    In the field of beer packaging, China's beer production last year exceeded 51.89 million tons, requiring about 82 billion beer bottles, such as 5% of the use of heat shrink film bottle sleeve, the annual consumption of 50,000 tons, the market potential is very impressive. 
    More environmentally friendly materials 
    At present, China's plastic packaging heat shrink film usage of hundreds of thousands of tons, there are PVC, PS, PE and other materials, which is cheaper to use PVC materials more. But these large amounts of difficult to degrade the recycling of heat shrink film in the use of the formation of "white pollution", pollution of the environment, the normal growth of people's health and soil organisms have caused great harm, over the years has been difficult to get a good solution to become the "big problem "problem. 
    In recent years, Europe, the United States, Japan and other developed countries newly developed PET-G film has excellent mechanical properties, tensile strength and heat shrinkage is more than twice the other plastic heat shrink film, and has high optical properties, light transmission rate of more than 90%, high strength, rigidity, stable shrinkage performance, good cold resistance, good flatness and good gloss and transparency, but also has a good barrier, organic solvent resistance, printing adaptability. organic solvent resistance, printing adaptability, etc. This film brings very good results to the printing process and can meet the requirements of the continuous pursuit of exquisite trademarks. 
    Therefore, PET-G is a green and environmentally friendly laminated packaging material that meets international environmental requirements and will gradually replace PE, PVC, PS and other heat shrink films.
