Shrink film

What is Shrink Film?

Shrink film, often also referred to as shrink tube film, is a flexible plastic film that shrinks and wraps tightly around the packaged object when heated. This property ensures a safe and sturdy packaging, ideal for transporting and storing products.

Properties

The material is resistant to tears, perforations, and other forms of damage, ensuring that products remain in perfect condition from production to the end user. In addition, shrink film offers excellent protection against dust, dirt, and moisture, making it an ideal choice for packaging food, electronics, industrial, and construction products.

Applications and Use

Shrink film is versatile in use and can be applied in various sectors. In the food industry, for example, it is used to ensure freshness and extend the shelf life of products. In retail, shrink film is popular for bundling products and creating promotional packaging. It is also widely used in logistics to stabilize pallets and protect products during transport, such as with stones.

On construction sites, shrink film can be used to create temporary seals, for example, to protect a building under construction from the weather or to create a dust-free environment during certain construction processes. For large construction projects, such as bridges or industrial installations, shrink film can be used to wrap large objects or structures.

How to Use?

Using shrink film requires a heat source, such as a shrink tunnel or a manual heat gun, to heat and shrink the film. The process is simple and efficient, contributing to the popularity of shrink film as a packaging material.

It is characterized by excellent processing properties on the machine, especially at high machine speeds. This makes efficient packaging of your product possible. We supply you with shrink film for all known packaging systems and shrink guns.
