POF Polyolefin Shrink Wrapping Film
POF shrink film is a five layer biaxial orientation co-extrusion film that shrinks evenly and holds its seal under heat, protecting products during transit and storage. It is clear, flexible, and maintains integrity in low temperatures without becoming brittle. The film is compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrapping systems, making it suitable for high-speed packaging lines. It is used to wrap products of all shapes and sizes, from small electronics to large industrial components, ensuring a tight, protective wrap without damaging the product.
- Five layer co-extrusion structure ensures balanced and stable shrinkage across the entire film
- High clarity allows product visibility while maintaining a professional package appearance
- Resists embrittlement in low temperatures, so film stays flexible during cold storage or transport
- Firm seal strength prevents film from splitting during heat application or handling

Materials
- POF (Polyolefin) resin used in five layer co-extrusion process
- No recycled content in the film layers, ensuring consistent performance
- Film is compatible with standard shrink wrap equipment without modification
How It Is Made
POF resin fed into co-extrusion line to form five layers
Biaxial orientation applied to achieve balanced shrinkage and strength
Film cooled and wound into rolls at controlled tension
Slitting to customer-specified width if required
Final inspection for uniformity, clarity, and thickness before packing
How It Is Checked
Incoming POF 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 shrink
Seal strength tested on sample film to ensure firm closure under heat
Final visual inspection for defects, bubbles, or surface imperfections
Rolls checked at container loading against packing list
Customisation Options
- Custom thickness and width to match your packaging line requirements
- Custom film type: center-fold, single wound, shrink bags, pre-perforated, or micro-perforated
- Custom printing with your logo or brand message on the film
- Film supplied in roll or bag format based on your packaging system
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 stable in low temperatures, reducing risk of brittleness |
|---|---|
| PE shrink film | POF has higher clarity and better shrinkage balance, reducing wrap distortion and improving product presentation |
| Standard stretch wrap | POF provides a tighter, more durable seal that resists opening during transit, unlike stretch wrap which can loosen |
| Manual wrapping | POF works with automatic systems to reduce labour and increase throughput, unlike hand-wrapping which varies in quality |
How to Use It
Load the film roll into the shrink wrapping machine, ensuring correct orientation for the film type
Set the machine to match the film thickness and width to avoid overheating or under-shrink
Test a short length first to confirm shrinkage is even and the seal is strong
Adjust heat tunnel temperature and conveyor speed for optimal wrap tightness and clarity
Store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation
