opaque shrink wrap
(OP)
Hi,
I was wondering if opaque (any color) shrink wrap exists?
Also, is there a type of ink that sprayed on that would survive the shrink wrap process?
Thanks

It is entirely possible to colour the plastics before the film is made. It may require a sizable order to convince someone to do it though.

It's easy to make a polymer opaque. Just add filler or make a blend with an immiscible polymer.

I was wondering if there is an easy way to print on shrink wrap as well? Any ideas?

As far as I know biodegradable plastics are not yet used. In general they are inferior to synthetic plastics, cost more and are less environmentally friendly too.
