Low shrink force film is ideal for thin, flexible and delicate products.

OSHKOSH, WI - Oct. 17, 2008 — Clysar® LE Gold is an ingenious low-energy, polyolefin Shrink film that offers superior packaging solutions for thin and delicate products like air filters, stationery, greeting cards, wrapping paper, magazines, stickers and thin pads of paper.  Besides conforming perfectly to a product, this revolutionary film uses proprietary technology to achieve incredible clarity and gloss with the highest available shrinkage at reduced temperatures.  With the lowest shrink force in the industry, LE Gold eliminates wrinkles, bending and curling to uniformly wrap items of all shapes and sizes.  The end result is taut, wrinkle-free packaging that provides maximum shelf appeal when compared to bulkier, high-energy PVC packaging.

PVC films, unlike LE Gold, derive their softness and flexibility from plasticizer additives, which break down over time making them brittle.  This fragility can lead to low tear resistance, seal failure, higher damage rates, warping and curling, equipment deterioration and lower yield.

Easy to use and easy to clean up, LE Gold requires no special sealing system and will not corrode sealing equipment or leave carbon deposits.  This user-friendly film with excellent slip properties offers quick-change flexibility to minimize labor costs and time spent "fine tuning" configurations.  In addition, LE Gold provides strong, durable seals over a wide range of temperatures and does not become brittle or discolored over time.

Ideal for the toughest, hardest to wrap application, LE Gold is available in 50, 60 and 75 gauge as either flat or folded film.  With its easy-to-use properties, low rejection rates and superior presentation characteristics, LE Gold delivers exceptional performance for a wide range of industrial and retail applications such as air filters, paper products and calendars.
