Shrink Film – commonly referred to as shrink wrap, is a roll of plastic – usually either PVC , polyolefin or polyethylene – which will shrink when heat is applied. It is commonly used as a form of packaging to contain goods – the goods are wrapped and then heat is applied which causes the shrink film to shrink around the product. It is available in various thicknesses and widths so that it can be used for different sized and weighted goods.

Polyethylene is the mostly used material for shrink film applications. LDPE (low density polyethylene) is the widely consumed type of material for secondary and tertiary packaging due to its advantages and specific properties. Potential applications for collation shrink film include bundle-packaging of beverages (such as water, soft drinks and sport drinks), baby food, food cans and non-food bottles including shampoos, liquid soaps and personal care items.
