SHRINK FILM

1

In February 2013, IPG® consolidated its North

American shrink film production into one facility in

Tremonton, Utah. This multi-million dollar expansion

in extrusion, converting and warehousing positions

IPG to grow with our North American partners for

years to come. Continued capital expenditure and

product development, within this world class facility,

maintains the position of IPG and the Exlfim® line as

world leaders in shrink film performance technology.

Utah Manufacturing Plant

Exlfilm® Shrink Film

Intertape Polymer Group® began producing polyolefin

shrink film in 1993. Over the past 24 years, we have

been shrink wrapping products throughout the

world with films produced at our manufacturing sites

in the US and Portugal.

Manufactured by IPG® for the most demanding markets

Porto, Portugal

Tremonton, Utah

Exlfilm® shrink films are produced in a world class facility which operates under stringent ISO manufacturing practices and is certified to internationally recognized GFSI.

This innovative technique makes Exlfilmplus®

Shrink Films one of the toughest and most

versatile on the market. This is because

the polymer chains are permanently bound

into a network, significantly increasing their

heat stability and strength. Our films have an

inherently greater window of seal and shrink

performance at a broader range of temperatures.

Crosslinking Technology

Exlfilm® HSP polyolefin shrink film is engineered to make your

packaging look its absolute best, while providing unmatched value,

versatility and durability.

In Crosslinking Technology, bonds are created where

molecules crosslink, resulting in a much

stronger film.

Exlfilmplus® films are crosslinked. The “plus” of crosslinking provides

customers with a stronger film capable of working on a wider variety

of equipment and sealing systems.
