Heat shrink packaging system and method

摘要

A packaging system including a heat shrinkable flexible wall container (1) and a heat shrinkable label (50) is described. The label (50) can be applied to the container (20) prior to heat shrinking. Upon subjecting the labeled container containing the items or goods of interest to a heat shrink operation, the label and flexible wall container both undergo shrinking. The shrinkage characteristics of the flexible wall container and the label are matched to one another. Also described are various methods of packaging using the noted systems.
