Low-Temperature POF Shrink Film for Poultry Packaging

Solving Shrinkage & Damage Issues for Fresh Meat

In the fresh poultry and meat processing industry, packaging performance directly affects product freshness, transportation loss, and brand reputation. Many poultry suppliers face two common challenges: packaging film easily punctured by plastic trays, and unsuitable shrink temperature affecting meat quality.

This case study introduces how Zhejiang Zhongcheng, a global leader in POF shrink film, helped a poultry distributor solve these problems using our Z103 low-temperature fresh-keeping POF shrink film.

1Client Background & Challenges

Our client is a professional poultry supplier focused on fresh chilled chicken, selling through supermarkets, fresh food platforms, and retail channels. As production scaled up, their previous packaging film revealed critical drawbacks:


Challenge 01

Poor Puncture Resistance

Poultry products are typically packed with plastic trays. Standard shrink film lacks toughness and is easily punctured by tray edges during packaging, handling, and shipping. This caused broken packaging, product exposure, higher waste rates, and reduced consumer trust.


Challenge 02

Unsuitable Shrink Temperature

Fresh poultry is highly temperature-sensitive. Most conventional POF films either shrink unevenly and wrinkle easily, or require relatively high temperatures to achieve full shrinkage, which risks affecting the texture and freshness of fresh chicken.


Challenge 03

Unstable Packaging Appearance

Inconsistent shrinkage, loose wrapping, and low transparency weakened the product's shelf appeal and overall competitiveness.

2Solution: Z103 Low-Temperature POF Shrink Film

To address these pain points, Zhejiang Zhongcheng recommended our Z103 low-temperature POF shrink film, specially engineered for food and fresh meat applications.
