About Skin Packaging Film for Skin Pack Machines — PVC, PE, PET & Surlyn Films

Skin packaging film is a transparent plastic film heated and vacuum-drawn tightly over a product sitting on a printed card or tray, forming a secure, see-through 'skin' package. Common materials are PVC (low-cost, rigid), PE (tough, low-temperature resistant), PET (high clarity, for large/heavy items) and DuPont Surlyn (premium, deep-draw). It protects hardware, electronics, automotive parts, tools and even food from contamination and damage while boosting shelf visibility.

How to Choose

  • Film material: PVC for low-cost hardware, PE for toughness and cold resistance, PET/Surlyn for heavy, irregular or high-value items.
  • Adhesive vs non-adhesive: self-adhesive films bond to uncoated board and simplify the process; others need coated cards.
  • Product & function: choose anti-static film for electronics, anti-rust (VCI) for steel, or food-grade barrier film for seafood/meat.
  • Thickness & width: match gauge and roll width to your skin pack machine and product draw depth.

FAQ

Q: What is skin packaging film made of?
A: Typically PVC, PE, PET or Surlyn (ionomer), each offering different clarity, toughness, draw depth and temperature resistance.

Q: What is the difference between PVC and Surlyn skin film?
A: PVC is inexpensive and rigid but brittle in cold; Surlyn is premium with excellent clarity and deep-draw for large or high-value products.

Q: Can skin film be used for food?
A: Yes—food-grade, high-barrier films are used for seafood, meat and fresh items, often with vacuum protection to extend shelf life.

Q: Do I need adhesive on the film?
A: Self-adhesive film bonds to plain board without coating; non-adhesive film requires a coated or printed card for sealing.
