Shrink film rolls are made of materials like polyolefin (POF) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene (PE) that offer durability, flexibility, and superior clarity which benefitting wrapping, securing, and protecting products during storage & transportation. Shrink film's ability to adapt with the shape of the item packed making it an ideal choice for enhancing the visual appearance of consumer goods while providing robust protection against dirt, moisture, and tampering. Shrink fims are food grade and comply with FDA, USDA standards and perforated options for breathability
Available in various thicknesses and works through a heat application process. This shrink film contracts uniformly around the product or pallet when it is exposed to a heat source like shrink tunnel or heat gun offering snug fit, clean apearance and protection.
POF films are transparent and its glossy finish enhances product visibility and appeal. Also, it has excellent tear resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and compatibility with both manual packaging system and automated machines making it an ideal choice for most businesses looking for cost effective shrink packaging solution.
Customization like core diameters, width, length and options like pre-printed designs, UV inhibitors, anti-fog properties to maintain clarity in refrigerated conditions, and anti-static coatings expand their versatility are also available
