We are the only shrink film supplier on the market offering a full range of film options, and we are happy to help you find the best film fit for packaging your product.
Shrink films have several clear advantages in packaging. Here are some of the benefits of using shrink overwrap film on your products:
Protects product integrity
Prolongs product shelf life
Enhances product visibility on retail display
Tamper evident for safety, hygiene, and warranty
Aesthetically unitizes multipacks
Reduces shipping and warehousing costs
Your product will go straight from packaging to warehousing and shipping, where optimizing space is crucial. Packaging with protective shrink film allows you to rightsize the package to the product for an exact fit. Then, you can cut down on bulky boxes, bubbles, and peanuts, allowing you to optimize pallet space and pocket the saved shipping and warehousing costs, and reducing your company’s packaging footprint on the environment.

There are 3 main types of film used in shrink wrapping: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, and polyolefin.
Shrink film offers several benefits, including protection from dust, dirt, and moisture, as well as tamper-evident packaging. It also provides a clear, high-gloss finish that enhances the product’s appearance.
Yes, all non-irradiated shrink films can be recycled, including some that are biodegradable and compostable, like our Ecolene® brand. Be sure to check with your local recycling program to see what types of shrink film are accepted.
Crosslinked shrink films are treated with radiation, which creates a stronger, more durable film. Non-crosslinked films are not treated with radiation and are typically more cost-effective, although they are not as strong and are not universally compatible with all types of packaging equipment.
The ideal shrink temperature varies depending on the type of shrink film being used. Generally, polyolefin shrink film can be shrunk at temperatures between 250°F and 350°F.
Stretch film and industrial film are both used for packaging and protecting products, but they serve different purposes. Stretch film, or stretch wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film commonly used to unitize and protect palletized goods during transportation and storage. It is designed to stretch and cling to itself, providing stability to the load. On the other hand, industrial film, such as industrial shrink wrap, is a thicker and more robust material used for heavy-duty applications, such as wrapping and protecting large machinery, equipment, or oddly shaped objects. Industrial film is often used to create a protective barrier against moisture, dust, and tampering, and it can also provide additional structural support. While stretch film focuses on stabilizing and securing palletized loads, industrial film is designed for broader and heavier applications requiring enhanced protection and durability.
