Glossary Air Evacuation – A hole or series of holes placed in the film to allow the excess air in the bag to escape during shrinkage. Antifog Film – A film containing a wetting agent which reduces the surface tension on the film to allow water to wet the surface rather than form water droplets; which causes a cloudy appearance. Ballooning – The lifting action of the film away from the product caused by the pressurizing of the excess air in the bag during the shrink process. Bead Seal – The resultant weld caused by the simultaneous sealing and cutting of two or more pieces of film. Biaxial Orientation – A film that has been stretched under certain temperature conditions equally in both the machine and transverse directions. Blocking – A condition where layers of film cannot be separated. Blown Film – Film produced by extruding resin into a tube, which is expanded by air pressure. Bubble – The inflated tube of film in the blown film extrusion process. Burnthrough – A weakening of the film where the heat of the tunnel exceeded the heat resistance of film. Typically, it will appear as a hole or a very cloudy area. Centerfolded Film – Film folded in half in the machine direction and then wound into roll form. Centerfolder – A device used to produce center folded film from flat film. Clarity – The transparency of the film, which is a function of surface gloss and internal haze. Coefficient of Friction – A comparative value indicating the ability of the film surface to move against itself or another surface. The higher the coefficient of friction, the more difficult to slip or move. Coextrusion – Two or more different materials simultaneously extruded into a composite film. Copolymer – A resin polymerized from two or more monomers. Core – A paper tube used as a base for forming a roll of film. Crows Feet – The residual wrinkles that can be left in a poorly shrunk sample. They are normally associated with the excess film in the corners of the pouch. Dancer Roll – A mechanical device used to control the tension of the film between the film unwind and the film sealing area. Density – Weight per unit volume. Films with a low density offer more coverage per weight of film. Dog Ears – The excessive film the corners of the pouch formed by placing a three-dimensional item in a flat pouch. Excessive “dog ears” normally indicate poor shrinkage technique. Electronic Hole Burner – a device that uses an electrical spark to burn a round hole in the film for air evacuation during shrinkage. Electrostatic Seal – An electrostatic discharge is applied to the overlap of two edges of the film. This keeps the edges aligned until film blocks together in the shrink tunnel. Elmendorf Tear Resistance – A measure of the resistance to tear after the film has been cut. Elongation – The percentage a film will deform or stretch prior to breaking. Extrusion – A technique for producing film by melting a resin and forcing it through a die. Fish Eyes – The circular or oval patterns that remain on a package that has been poorly shrunk. They are normally associated with the absence of adequate heat or air velocity. Fogging – A buildup of water droplets on the surface of a film. Forming Head (Plow) – A mechanical device used to shape flat wound film into the desired bag shape needed for a particular package. Gas Transmission Rate (GTR) – A measure of the rate a gas will permeate through a film. Gauge – The average thickness of a film. Gloss – A measure of the reflected light from the film surface. Haze – A measure of the cloudiness of the film. Hole Burner – A device that uses a hot wire formed in a circular shape to burn a round hole in the film for air evacuation during shrinkage. Hole Punch – A device to punch a round hole in the film for air evacuation during shrinkage. Impact Resistance – The resistance to impact of a film. Impulse Seal – A seal produced by an intermittent electric pulse, which heats a round, wire or ribbon to cut and seal film. Initial Tear Resistance – A measure of the force needed to begin a tear in a film. Inverting Head – A mechanical device used to separate and invert centerfolded film as the film is transferred into the sealing area of the wrapper. Irradiation – A process that uses high-energy electrons to cross-link a film. Lap Seal – A seal produced by overlapping film and then sealing it together either thermally or electrostatically. L-Sealer – The most common means of sealing film for heat-shrinkable applications. An L-shape sealer produces two seals simultaneously on folded film. Low Temperature Flexibility – The lowest temperature at which a film can withstand a flexing test without cracking. Machine Direction (MD) – The direction the film was manufactured and also comes off the roll. Modulus – A measure of film stiffness. Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) – The rate moisture vapor will pass through the film. Monomer – A simple compound, which can react at high temperature and pressure to form a polymer. Orientation – The stretching technique used to obtain molecular alignment in a film during manufacturing, which increases tensile strength and stiffness and decreases tear strength. Oxygen Transmission Rate – A measure of the permeability of a packaging film to oxygen. Plasticizer – A substance blended into plastics such as PVC to improve flexibility and softness. Polyethylene – A resin made from ethylene gas, which produces tough transparent film. Polymer – A high molecular weight, long chain compound formed from one or more simple molecules. Polypropylene – A resin made from propylene gas, which produces lightweight, highly transparent, stiff film. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) – A resin produced from vinyl chloride. Generally compounded with plasticizers and other additives to improve flexibility. Sealing Wire – A nichrome wire, which is heated by its resistance to electrical current. It is used for sealing and cutting shrink film. Shrink Film – A plastic film, which has been produced under special orientation conditions that will allow the film to shrink when heat is applied. Shrink Force – The force exerted on the product by the film during the shrink process. Shrinkage / Percent Shrink – The decrease in dimension of a film when it is subjected to heat. Single Wound Film – Flat film wound on a core. Slip - How easily one surface moves across another. Slip Agents – Lubricants added to films to improve slip and reduce friction. Static – An electric charge generated by film moving across itself (unwinding from the roll) or any other surface. Tear Strength – The ability of the film to resist tearing. Highly oriented films generally have reduced tear resistance. Tensile Strength – The force exerted on the film from external sources. Tension – A force exerted on the film from external sources. Transverse Direction – The direction at right angles to the film movement during its manufacture, usually the same as the width of the film. Trim – The edges of film, which are cut from, a package formed on an L-sealer or side sealer when the seal is made. Uniaxially Oriented Film (Preferential Shrink Film) – A film that will shrink in only one direction. Yield – Coverage of a film per unit weight (usually sq in/lb) rolls.
