Shrink Film, Built For The Line
Shrink Film is a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film that draws tight around a product or bundle under heat, giving a clean, tamper-evident finish that still shows off packaging and branding underneath.
Supplied flat, centrefolded or gusseted, and made to size for the job — from small multi-pack bundles to full pallet hoods — it's a practical way to unitize and protect goods without the bulk of a carton.
Key Features
Clean, tight finish
Shrinks close to the product profile while keeping branding visible.
Tamper-evident
A shrunk seal shows clearly if a multi-pack has been opened or interfered with.
Pallet hooding option
Made-to-size hoods add weather resistance for outdoor or yard storage.
Made-to-size widths
Sizing film to the job reduces material waste versus stock-width film.

Applications
Built To Your Specification
Shrink film is specified around the pack and the machine that seals it. These are the variables open to you across all three grades.
Three Grades Of Shrink Film
Centre-fold, polyolefin and LDPE cover the full span from a glass-clear retail pack to a weatherproof pallet hood. Start from the pack and the machine you run it on.
Centre-Fold Shrink Film
Folded film for L-sealers and sleeve wrappers — two edges seal in a single pass.
View DetailsPolyolefin Shrink Film
High-clarity, food-contact POF for retail packs that have to look as good as they seal.
View DetailsLDPE Shrink Film
Heavy-duty polyethylene shrink for multi-pack bundling, pallet hooding and weather protection.
View Details| Product | Primary application | Material | Clarity | Typical equipment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Centre-Fold Shrink Film | Retail multipacks, print & media | Polyolefin or PE | High | L-sealer + shrink tunnel |
| Polyolefin Shrink Film | Food, consumer goods, gift packs | POF (cross-linked available) | Very high | Chamber sealer or tunnel |
| LDPE Shrink Film | Bundling, pallet hooding, drinks packs | LDPE | Medium | Bundling wrapper + tunnel |
Clarity, shrink ratio and seal strength are matched to the pack you are running. Send us a sample pack or its dimensions and we will recommend the grade and gauge.
