Making the Switch to Superthene Made Easy
Switching to PVC-free food wrap doesn’t have to be complicated. Our films are designed to run on existing hand-wrap and auto-wrap machinery, with minimal adjustments and full technical support from our team.
Machine Compatibility and Setup
Superthene films are engineered to work seamlessly with most existing wrapping machines:
- Hand-Wrappers: Compatible with standard hand-sealing equipment; optimal results with machines featuring temperature control (115–130°C).
- Auto-Wrappers: Runs efficiently on auto-wrapping lines; may require minor adjustments to sealing blade temperature or film width selection for best results.
- Cutting Blades: For high-output auto-wrappers, Superthene cutting blades are available for clean, consistent cutting and reduced maintenance downtime.
