Flame retardant plastic film works by inhibiting and delaying the spread of fire through suppression of chemical reactions within the film. At Marshall Plastic Film, we add a retardant to the polymers which increases resistance to ignition, reduces the spread of flames, suppresses smoke, and prevents the polymer in the film from dripping. The overall goal of flame retardant is to prevent or delay ignition and burning which gives people and animals, who are in proximity to the fire, time to escape safely. Besides allowing time for people and animals to flee, flame retardant plastic film also helps to limit property damage.

It doesn’t seem like it would take a lot of thought or effort to select the right plastic film or plastic packaging, however, there are definitely more options than you may think. This is why it’s very important to work with an experienced and knowledgeable manufacturer.

In this post, we will look at the main three categories to look at when deciding what plastic film or packaging is right for you.
Shrink bundling film, or shrink wrap as it is commonly referred, is used to securely package and protect products that are being distributed or displayed on retail shelves. Shrink wrap is a plastic material made of polymer film that shrinks up when heat is used on it. Even as other methods are being used, shrink wrap continues to be one of the most popular and cost effective way to protect and package products. Besides being cost effective, shrink wrap also helps eliminate paperboard and other materials from packaging systems in many different industries. Another great thing about shrink wrap is that it minimizes material use while increasing efficiency. Marshall Plastic Film’s shrink wrap is among the toughest and clearest looking in the industry.

Your plastic packaging needs are sure to be met by partnering with Marshall Plastic Film. We know that no two plastic applications are exactly the same, which means we don’t have any off the shelf products. We custom engineer all of our plastic packaging to meet your exact requirements. In the beginning our focus was on low density flexible packaging – primarily what other manufacturers would use to package their products. Over the years, we became one of the first to become equipped to extrude high percentage linear low density blends.
