Why Polimex

WHERE
PRECISION
MEETS SCALE

We don't just supply film. We engineer material solutions that perform consistently at production speed, across every order, every market.

Non-standard width, gauge, core diameter or shrink profile — our technical team specifies to your exact machinery and application requirements, not to the nearest catalogue size. Every roll leaves our facility validated against your agreed specification.
Gauge uniformity within ±2 micron across web width. Controlled melt flow, virgin resin input and inline thickness monitoring ensure that what you qualify is what you receive — on the first order and the hundredth.
Trial roll to pallet to full container — the same agreed unit price, the same specification, the same turnaround commitment. Production slots are reserved for qualified accounts. No annual price reviews. No substitutions.
EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF and DAP terms across 40+ destination countries. EUR and USD invoicing. Full export documentation — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading — prepared before vessel departure. No freight surprises.
Our applications team speaks your process: shrink tunnel profiles, gravure and flexo print compatibility, corona treatment levels, perforation and slit tolerances. When your line changes, we adapt the material — not the other way around.

Stretch Sleeve Labels for Dairy & LDPE Containers

Cold-chain stability. No heat. No adhesive. Mono-material recyclability. LDPE stretch sleeves solve every problem dairy packaging has with conventional shrink — without a tunnel investment.

Why Stretch Sleeves for Dairy?

Dairy containers — HDPE milk jugs, HDPE/PP yoghurt tubs, polypropylene cream pots — are often made from polyolefin polymers. A LDPE stretch sleeve on a HDPE container is mono-material: label and container are both polyolefin, and can be recycled together without separation. This is the strongest recyclability case of any label format in the market — and is increasingly required by major dairy brands in the EU under Extended Producer Responsibility frameworks.

No-Heat Application Advantages

Stretch sleeves are applied elastically over the container at ambient temperature — no steam or hot-air tunnel is required. This means: no thermal stress on the product, no energy cost for the tunnel, and no risk of container deformation. For sensitive dairy products and temperature-controlled filling lines, this is a significant operational advantage.

Shrink vs. Stretch for Dairy: When Shrink Wins

For glass dairy bottles or containers requiring tamper-evidence, a shrink sleeve (typically OPS at 40 mic, applied via low-temperature hot-air tunnel) may be preferred. OPS activates at 60–65°C — low enough not to stress HDPE containers — and provides a cleaner, tighter finish on round bottles than stretch sleeves.
