A technical resource for shrink-sleeve converters covering solvent selection, seam defects, film compatibility, and seamer setup.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-30 issue.

Field notes

The resource uses substrate, solvent class, line speed, overlap, and drying behavior as the main diagnostic variables. Its examples include a starting rate of 1.5 mL/min per 100 m/min of line speed and an approximately 5-micron liquid film at 200 m/min with a 3 mm overlap. The FAQ also separates PETG from PET and treats polyolefin as requiring a different bonding approach.
