Reduced weight bags
Reduced weight bags can be specified, delivering the same excellent properties, lowering overall plastic consumption.

Perfect presentation with purpose
Achieving superb shrink, YPS’ shrink bags offer significant improvements to pack finish for food producers:
- The tighter shrink reduces irritating, ugly excess plastic.
- The finish achieved is wrinkle-free.
- The product is presented as cleanly and clearly to consumers as possible, allowing them to appreciate your product as fully as possible.
The robust bag and the seal that is formed ensure no penetration regardless of the shape or sharpness of your packed product. The robust pack protects the product and guards against fluid leakage.
Dependent on the formula selected, the product can be oven- or microwave-cooked or frozen within its shrink bag. Utilising the same pack throughout the product’s journey reduces plastic waste and hugely improves convenience for both producers and their consumers.
