| dc.description.abstract | Packaging is known to have brought out a revolution in the marketing and distribution of commodities in the world. As an efficient method of modern packaging for fish, shrink packaging has come up as an important method. Shrink wrapping is the term used to describe the method of shrinking film around an article or a group of articles to give a skin tight wrap. Shrink wrapping involves the use of thermo plastic films that have been stretched or oriented during manufacturing and have the property of shrinking with the application of heat. Shrinkable films are produced in such a manner that when the , articles are wrapped in them and subsequently heated,shrinkage occurs and the film clings on to the article. This method of packaging provides sufficient protection to the content and makes the package attractive in appearance. | en_US |
