The process of shrink-wrapping is where items are wrapped tightly together in plastic so they cannot move around.
The purpose of this is so the items do not break, aren’t damaged in any way or fall apart.
Common shrink-wrapped items include bags of nuts, packets of crisps, cereal, bottled water and other various products. Most of these products are shrink wrapped to preserve freshness also.
Polybags are the name given to bags that are made from polyethylene – the most common form of plastic.
Polybags are used for the transportation of a variety of sealed goods. The bags are notable for their sleek design making them suitable for the items that are stored and shipped in them, including chemicals, comic books, and food.
Similar to most plastic bag, polybags will be thin, flexible and transparent, however, some can fall away from this pattern and some can be exceptionally light or incredibly dense.
Regarding environmental issues, polybags are sufficient for use are they are fairly simple to recycle compared with other packaging materials.
