Beverage multipack shrink film is a packaging material designed to bundle multiple individual beverage products into a single unit. The film is applied to tightly wrap and seal the products, providing secure and tamper-evident packaging to maintain the integrity of the beverages during storage and transit.
The main types of beverage multipack shrink films are printed shrink film and unprinted shrink film. Printed shrink film features personalized patterns, images, or information, often used for marketing purposes to enhance branding and provide product information. The materials used include low-density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and others. These films are tailored to accommodate various beverage container types such as aluminum cans, glass bottles, plastic bottles, bricks, trayed beverages, and more. Beverage multipack shrink films are distributed through channels such as direct sales and distributors, catering to applications including beer, water, carbonated soft drinks (CSD), and others.

The beverage multipack shrink film market is poised for growth, driven by the rising demand for bottled water. Bottled water, sealed in containers for human consumption, is experiencing increased global consumption, projected to rise from around 350 billion liters in 2021 to 460 billion liters by 2030, as reported by the World Economic Forum. This surge in demand is fueling the adoption of shrink film for secure and tamper-evident packaging of multipack beverages, ensuring product integrity during storage and transit.
An increase in alcohol consumption is anticipated to boost the growth of the beverage multipack shrink film market in the future. Alcohol consumption refers to the act of consuming beverages that contain ethanol, a psychoactive substance, often for recreational or social reasons. Beverage multipack shrink film is utilized for packaging efficiency, offering a secure and cost-effective method to bundle and display multiple units of alcoholic beverages. For example, in December 2023, Kirin Holdings Co. Ltd., a Japan-based company specializing in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well as pharmaceuticals, reported that global beer consumption increased by approximately 5.4 million kiloliters in 2022, equivalent to around 8.5 billion bottles (633 ml each) compared to the previous year. Consequently, the rising alcohol consumption is driving the expansion of the beverage multipack shrink film market.
Major companies in the beverage multipack shrink film market are focusing on innovating new products, such as plastic-free secondary packaging solutions, to maintain their position in the market. A plastic-free secondary packaging solution refers to packaging materials used to protect and group products during transport and storage that do not contain plastic components. For example, in September 2023, Coca-Cola Hellenic Bottling Company, a Switzerland-based beverage company, introduced the LitePac Top Strap, an innovative plastic-free secondary packaging solution for its sparkling drinks, including Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite. Designed for 1.5-liter multipacks, this packaging utilizes 100% renewable and recyclable materials, such as kraft paper and cardboard clips, eliminating traditional plastic components. The new system is projected to save approximately 200 tons of plastic annually and aligns with the company's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2040.
Companies are prioritizing advanced solutions such as recyclable and renewable packaging to meet sustainability goals. Graphic Packaging's EnviroClip, introduced in March 2022, serves as a paperboard beverage can ring substitute, eliminating the need for shrink film and plastic rings. This recyclable and renewable solution is constructed from responsibly sourced renewable fiber, emphasizing environmental consciousness in packaging.
In June 2024, Dow Inc., a US-based chemical company, partnered with RKW Group.
