Center Fold Pof/Polyolefin Shrink Wrapping Film
Center fold POF shrink film is a five layer biaxial orientation co-extrusion film that shrinks evenly and maintains flexibility in low temperatures. It forms a tight, clear wrap around products without embrittlement, ensuring protection during transit and storage. The film is compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap equipment, making it suitable for high-speed packaging lines. It is supplied in center-fold format for efficient loading and consistent sealing.
- Five layer co-extrusion structure provides balanced and stable shrinkage across the entire film
- Maintains flexibility at low temperatures, preventing brittleness during cold storage or transport
- Clear film allows product visibility while providing a secure, tight wrap
- Firm seal strength reduces the risk of package opening during handling

Materials
- POF (Polyolefin) film made from five layers of co-extruded polyolefin resins
- No recycled content in the base film; virgin material used in production
- Film designed for high performance in both cold and hot environments
How It Is Made
Co-extrusion of five layers of polyolefin resin under biaxial orientation
Film cooled and stretched in both machine and transverse directions for strength
Center-folded or wound into single layer based on customer order
Slitting to specified width if required
Rolls wound to size with edge quality checked before packaging
How It Is Checked
Incoming resin checked for purity and consistency before extrusion
Film thickness measured at multiple points during production to ensure uniformity
Shrinkage test performed on sample rolls to confirm balanced and stable performance
Seal strength tested under standard shrink tunnel conditions
Final roll inspected for edge damage, fold alignment, and surface defects before packing
Customisation Options
- Available in center-fold, single wound, shrink bags, pre-perforated, and micro-perforated formats
- Thickness options: 12 mic, 15 mic, 19 mic, 25 mic to suit different product weights
- Printing available on request with artwork provided
- Custom film formats and perforation patterns available on order
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| PVC shrink film | POF does not emit harmful fumes when heated and remains flexible in cold temperatures, unlike PVC which can become brittle |
|---|---|
| PP shrink film | POF has superior clarity and balanced shrinkage, while PP tends to shrink unevenly and has lower seal strength |
| Manual wrapping | POF film enables automated or semi-automated wrapping, reducing labour and increasing consistency |
| Standard film without center-fold | Center-fold format allows faster loading and fewer feeding errors on high-speed lines |
How to Use It
Load the center-fold roll into the shrink wrap machine with the fold facing the sealing bar
Adjust the film width to match the product size and machine settings
Test a short length to confirm even shrinkage and proper seal formation
Ensure the film is not damaged or wrinkled before feeding into the tunnel
Store rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources
