Predictive Shrink Service
Predict Shrinkage & Warpage
Plastic caps and closures play a critical role in keeping products safe and secure inside packaging. They are essential for maintaining product integrity but can undergo shrinkage through thermal contraction or crystallization, or be affected by certain fillers or pigments.
Avient’s Predictive Shrink Service works seamlessly with our specialty colorants and dimensional stabilizers, using advanced equipment to analyze and help minimize shrinkage and warpage. Our dimensional stability solutions also support high-speed injection-molded lids to specifically manage warping, also known as the ‘potato chip effect.’
Our expert R&D team is dedicated to finding customized solutions that meet your unique caps and closures performance and processing requirements. By tackling issues, from simple to complex, we can help your closures achieve the perfect fit, protecting your products and making sure your customers are satisfied.
