Polyolefin Heat Shrink Film
Polyolefin heat shrink film is a five layer biaxial orientation co-extrusion film that shrinks evenly and holds its seal under heat. It maintains clarity and flexibility at low temperatures, so it does not become brittle during cold storage or transport. The film is compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrapping systems, making it suitable for high-speed packaging lines without equipment modification.
- Five layer co-extrusion structure ensures balanced and stable shrinkage across the entire package
- Maintains clarity and flexibility at low temperatures, preventing brittleness during cold chain shipping
- Firm seal strength resists punctures and burn-through during heat application
- Compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap equipment without retooling
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 and stable shrinkage across the entire package
- Maintains clarity and flexibility at low temperatures, preventing brittleness during cold chain shipping
- Firm seal strength resists punctures and burn-through during heat application
- Compatible with semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap equipment without retooling
- Shrinks uniformly around irregular shapes without creasing or tearing
- Available in multiple thicknesses and widths to match product size and packaging line speed
Where It Is Used
- Wrapping multi-packs of beverages or food items for retail shelf presentation
- Securing cartons of electronics or cosmetics during long-distance export
- Protecting fragile or irregularly shaped items during warehouse handling and transit
- Sealing pallet loads with a tight, protective wrap that resists moisture and dust
- Packaging high-value consumer goods with a professional, tight-fitting finish
Who It Is For
- E-commerce fulfilment centres needing fast, reliable shrink wrapping for mixed SKUs
- Third-party logistics warehouses with semi-automatic or automatic packaging lines
- Exporters shipping consumer goods in FCL and LCL containers
- Manufacturers of food, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and cosmetics requiring tamper-resistant packaging
- Contract packers replacing manual wrapping with automated shrink wrap systems
Problems It Solves
- Uneven shrinkage or film tearing during heat application leads to poor product presentation and protection
- Brittle film cracking in cold storage or transport leaves products exposed
- Incompatible film requiring special equipment or line adjustments increases downtime
- Weak seals failing during handling or transit, causing package failure
- Manual wrapping slows throughput and creates inconsistent packaging quality
Technical Features

Materials
- Five layer co-extruded POF film with biaxial orientation for balanced shrinkage
- No recycled regrind in the film structure, ensuring consistent performance
- Film designed for high clarity and mechanical strength under heat
How It Is Made
Co-extrusion of five layers of POF resin under biaxial orientation
Rolling and winding to specified width and thickness
Slitting to center-fold or single wound format as required
Pre-perforation or micro-perforation applied if ordered
Final inspection of roll integrity and seal performance before packing
How It Is Checked
Incoming POF resin checked for purity and consistency before extrusion
Seal strength tested during production to ensure resistance to burn-through
Sample rolls shrunk under standard heat tunnel conditions to verify uniformity
Roll width and thickness verified at winding against order specification
Final visual and dimensional check before carton packing and container loading
Customisation Options
- Thickness and width to match your packaging line and product size
- Center-fold, single wound, pre-perforated, micro-perforated, or bag format as needed
- Printing available on request with your logo or branding
- Custom roll length and packaging configuration upon request
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 toxic fumes when heated and remains flexible at low temperatures, unlike PVC which becomes brittle |
|---|---|
| PE shrink film | POF has higher clarity and better shrinkage balance, reducing the risk of wrinkling or uneven wrapping |
| Manual wrapping | Automated POF wrapping is faster and more consistent, reducing labour and packaging variability |
| Paper wrap | POF provides a tighter, moisture-resistant seal and better product visibility than paper |
How to Use It
Load the film roll into the shrink wrap machine and thread the film through the guide rollers
Set the machine to match the film width and thickness for proper heat application
Run a test wrap to confirm even shrinkage and seal integrity before full production
Adjust heat tunnel temperature and conveyor speed to achieve a tight, wrinkle-free wrap
Store unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources

Polyolefin Heat Shrink Film Questions
What is the minimum order quantity for POF shrink film
Order quantity depends on width, thickness, and format. Send us your required specifications and monthly volume via WhatsApp and we will confirm the minimum for that order.
Can I get this film printed with my logo
Yes, printing is available on our own film printing line. Send artwork and the required width for your order.
Is the film compatible with my automatic shrink wrap machine
Yes, POF shrink film is compatible with most semi-automatic and automatic shrink wrap systems. Confirm your machine type and film width with us before ordering.
How do I choose the right thickness for my product
Thicker films (19–25 mic) are used for heavy or irregular items. Thinner films (12–15 mic) suit lighter, uniform products. We can advise based on your product weight and shape.
Does the film become brittle in cold storage
No, POF shrink film maintains flexibility and does not embrittle at low temperatures after shrinkage.
