Center Folded POF Shrink Film
Center folded POF shrink film is a five layer biaxial orientation co-extrusion film that shrinks evenly and holds its seal under heat. It is used to wrap products tightly in a clear, protective layer that resists tearing and maintains integrity at low temperatures. The film is compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap equipment, so it integrates directly into existing packaging lines without modification.
- Five layer co-extrusion structure ensures balanced, stable shrinkage without distortion
- Clear film maintains product visibility while protecting against dust, moisture and impact
- Resists embrittlement at low temperatures, so it performs well in cold storage and shipping
- Firm seal prevents film from splitting during heat application or handling
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.
Key Benefits
- Five layer co-extrusion structure ensures balanced, stable shrinkage without distortion
- Clear film maintains product visibility while protecting against dust, moisture and impact
- Resists embrittlement at low temperatures, so it performs well in cold storage and shipping
- Firm seal prevents film from splitting during heat application or handling
- Burn through resistance reduces the risk of film failure during heat tunnel operation
- Available in widths from 100 mm to 2000 mm to match a wide range of product sizes
Where It Is Used
- Wrapping individual bottles or jars in a retail-ready bundle for supermarket shelves
- Securing multi-packs of beverages or cosmetics in a tight, tamper-resistant wrap
- Protecting electronics or tools in a sealed, dust-free layer before shipping
- Shrinking pallet loads of small parts or components for warehouse and transit stability
- Encasing fragile or irregularly shaped items in a form-fitting protective layer
Who It Is For
- Manufacturers of consumer goods needing a clear, durable wrap for final packaging
- E-commerce packers requiring consistent, high-speed wrapping for mixed SKUs
- Third-party logistics warehouses using shrink wrap for pallet consolidation
- Exporters shipping goods in FCL and LCL containers who need moisture and dust protection
- Contract packers using semi-automatic or automatic shrink wrap systems
Problems It Solves
- Products arriving with loose or wrinkled packaging due to uneven shrinkage
- Film splitting or tearing during heat application or transport
- Wrap failing in cold environments where plastic becomes brittle
- Inconsistent seal strength leading to product exposure or contamination
- Manual wrapping slowing down production lines and increasing labour cost
Technical Features
- Five layer biaxial orientation co-extrusion structure for balanced shrinkage
- Shrink film made from POF material with excellent clarity and strength
- Available in thicknesses of 12 mic, 15 mic, 19 mic, and 25 mic for different load requirements
- Center-folded (CF) type allows for efficient feeding into shrink wrap machines
- Compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap systems
- Can be used for any product type due to its stable performance across conditions

Materials
- POF film made from five layers of co-extruded polyolefin resin
- No recycled content in the film structure
- Film designed to resist burn through during heat tunnel application
How It Is Made
Co-extrusion of five layers of polyolefin resin under biaxial orientation
Center folding of the film to prepare for machine feeding
Slitting to the requested width using precision cutting equipment
Roll winding to the specified length with tension control
Final inspection for surface defects and uniform thickness
How It Is Checked
Incoming resin checked for purity and consistency before extrusion
Thickness measured at multiple points across the web during production
Seal strength tested on sample rolls before packaging
Shrinkage performance verified under controlled heat conditions
Final rolls inspected for surface defects and correct folding before packing
Customisation Options
- Available in thicknesses of 12 mic, 15 mic, 19 mic, and 25 mic
- Printing available on request with artwork provided
- Pre-perforated and micro-perforated options available for controlled opening
- Film can be supplied as center-folded, single wound, or shrink bags
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 is more resistant to low temperature brittleness |
|---|---|
| PP shrink film | POF has better clarity, stronger seal, and more balanced shrinkage than PP |
| Manual wrapping | Automated POF wrapping is faster and more consistent than hand-tied or taped wraps |
| Standard film without orientation | Biaxial orientation in POF ensures even shrinkage and prevents distortion |
How to Use It
Load the center-folded roll onto the shrink wrap machine and thread the film through the guide rollers
Set the machine width to match the film width so the film feeds evenly
Adjust heat tunnel temperature and conveyor speed to achieve full, even shrinkage
Inspect the first few wrapped products to confirm seal integrity and film fit
Store unused rolls flat and away from direct sunlight or heat sources
