Polyolefin Shrink Films

Product Details

Polyolefin Shrink Film is an extremely durable and versatile 'premium' shrink film. It has taken the place of PVC in many applications and is also an FDA-approved food-safe material. Polyolefin materials are available with different characteristics, including a cross-linked film that provides high-tensile strength and incredible clarity for high-speed packaging applications. The cross-linked film also prevents buildup on sealing components of machinery.

With added strength, the ability to create longer rolls of film with thinner gauges available that allow for less roll change-over and increased efficiency and productivity. Polyolefin shrink film has excellent puncture-resistance and seal-strength, allowing for irregular-shaped items to have excellent protection throughout its supply chain life-cycle.

The versatility and fairly low-cost that POF offers for multiple machines and packaging forms make it a go-to form of protective packaging for products of any size. In some instances, POF will need perforations added to the film; tiny holes added to the film before application which allow air to escape during the shrinking process for a smooth package. Pre-perforated shrink film is available by many suppliers for this reason.
