Types of Shrink Films

  • POF based Shrink Films
  • PVC based Shrink Films
  • LDPE based Shrink Films

POF Based Shrink Films

Basic raw material is Polyolefin (POF). When heat is applied, through polymerization Shrink Wrapping happens. Excellent Clarity is the unique feature of this film

POF Shrink Applications

  • FMCG Goods- Trays, Ladders
  • Mobile Phone Packs
  • Medical Products Packaging
  • Book outer wrap
S.N Specification – Width Thickness Length/Roll
1 Width – 6″ to 30″ 12 Micron 1665 Meters
2 Width – 6″ to 30″ 15 Micron 1332 Meters
3 Width – 6″ to 30″ 19 Micron 1067 Meters
4 Width – 6″ to 30″ 25 Micron 800 Meters

PVC Based Shrink Films

Basic raw material is Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC). When heat is applied, through polymerization Shrink Wrapping happens.

Polyvinyl chloride is the third most produced plastic in the world. PVC shrink wrap was the most commonly used shrink film, until replaced several years ago by polyolefin (POF) shrink wrap.

PVC Shrink Applications

  • Shrink Sleeves for various applications
  • Domestic Appliances

LDPE Based Shrink Films

Basic raw material is Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE). When heat is applied, through polymerization Shrink Wrapping happens.

LDPE Shrink Film Applications

  • Mineral Water Bottle Packaging
  • Carbonated Drink bottle packaging
  • Empty Plastic Container Packaging
  • Processed Industry FG Packaging
