Strength, versatility and visual appeal...without bulky corrugated.

Oshkosh, WI - Clysar® ShrinkBox™ film is the strongest, most high-clarity and abuse-defying shrink film available in the market today. This exceptionally versatile film was specially developed to offer an eye-appealing, environmentally friendly alternative to cumbersome corrugated packaging.

When compared to other shrink films, ShrinkBox film has been shown to be more puncture and abrasion resistant. Therefore, products are less likely to be tampered with, damaged or returned, delivering bottom line savings to the customer. And when compared to corrugated boxes, ShrinkBox is a light-weight alternative that can reduce warehousing and shipping costs.

ShrinkBox consistently outperforms traditional packaging formats, such as shipping cartons, heavy-duty shrink films and hazy polyethylene bags. In essence, ShrinkBox film is an all-in-one solution to a wide array of packaging challenges, such as home improvement products, lawn and garden supplies, furniture, printed material...and just about anything else you can imagine. Unlike corrugated, ShrinkBox offers maximum customer appeal with premium product protection.

Through the supply chain and into the store, ShrinkBox film maintains product integrity, as well as frees up valuable shelf space by showcasing products in their original packaging. And, with excellent shrinkage characteristics, ShrinkBox conforms precisely to any shape to create secure, taut packages without package defects-delivering the required retail appearance.

Consumers have responded favorably to the clear and reliable packaging alternative ShrinkBox offers. Clysar Marketing Manager, Vicki Larson explains, "Today, packaging solutions that guarantee premium product security are essential for brands to build positive relationships with both consumers and retailers. ShrinkBox film meets these demands by combining package integrity and product protection that's pleasing to the eye."

ShrinkBox runs on most standard shrink film machines, so there's no need to invest in new equipment. Manufacturers can eliminate changeovers by replacing corrugated inventory with a single roll of ShrinkBox film that can handle multiple sizes and configurations. Naturally, packaging automation further reduces labor costs and downtime, which boosts speed-to-market.

To meet increased customer demand, Clysar offers a complete line of ShrinkBox films-including ShrinkBox Confidential-that provide unsurpassed protection and consumer appeal. ShrinkBox is available in four different grades: 

  • ShrinkBox 1525 for advanced product protection with maximum optical properties.
  • ShrinkBox 2035 for maximum physical properties with excellent optical characteristics.
  • ShrinkBox Confidential 1525C or 2035C with the same qualities as ShrinkBox films, but 90 percent opacity to keep items discreetly hidden from view.
