This is not to be considered all-inclusive or comprehensive. It is a listing of established S.I.C. categories which have proven to be consistent prospects for and/or users of shrink film packaging equipment. The growth of the warehouse clubs and their on-going influence in many product categories makes multi-count shrink film packaging an increasingly popular method and one for which shrink film packaging is uniquely well-suited. Shrink film packaging opportunities are expected to continue to expand due to the need for multi-count packaging on the part of many manufacturers of a broad spectrum of products.

The new soft shrink polyolefin shrink films are rapidly displacing PVC shrink films due to their cost and handling efficiency. Polyolefin films do not oxidize the shrink film packaging equipment as is commonly done by PVC shrink films.
