Shrink film · POF · PVC · PE · BOPP
POF, PVC, PE, and BOPP — standard, low-temperature, anti-fog, high-clarity, colored, and single-material recyclable options. Thickness 10–40 µm; shrink up to 78%. We match the film, fold, and roll width to your packing machine.
Materials
The right film depends on what you pack, how fast you run, and what your customer sees on the shelf. We quote the material, thickness, fold, and roll width together.
Standard, low-temperature, high-clarity, anti-fog, and colored options. Good for food, beverage, retail multipacks, and high-speed lines.
Excellent clarity and stiffness for paper boxes, plastic bottles, glass bottles, and rigid shapes. Widths 10–1,370 mm; shrink 10–55%.
Recyclable PE shrink film for export markets with packaging-recyclability requirements. High clarity, strong shrink, and a mono-material structure.
High, medium, and low shrink grades, including low-temperature types for single-pack or 3D packing machines.
Folded film, single-wound film, welded-edge bags, arc bags, and irregular bags for products that cannot run on a standard wrapper.
Single-wound roll for pillow machines, folded film for L-sealers, bags for manual packing, and low-temp film for heat-sensitive products.

Where it runs
From a single roll to a full container, the film is only one part. We also match the fold, roll diameter, and carton to your packing line.
High-clarity POF for bottles, cans, and multipacks that need a tight, retail-ready finish.
Food-contact grades, good cold resistance, and a clean seal for chilled and frozen products.
Gloss and clarity for gift sets, beauty packs, and shelf-ready displays.
Arc bags, welded-edge bags, and custom folds for products that cannot run on a standard wrapper.

FAQ
Still unsure? Send a WhatsApp message with your product and machine type — we will reply with a straight answer.
Ask on WhatsAppIf you run an automatic pillow machine, single-wound POF is the usual choice. For an L-sealer, use folded POF — low-temperature grades give a better result on heat-sensitive products. For low volume or irregular shapes, use shrink bags or arc bags.
POF and PE are typically TD 0–55% and MD 50–80%; high-shrink grades reach 65–78%. PVC is 10–55%. We can adjust the formulation for your product shape and tunnel.
Common thicknesses are 10, 12, 15, 19, 25, 30, and 40 µm. Thin film is not always cheaper in practice: if it breaks during stretching or shrinking, a slightly heavier grade reduces downtime. We will recommend based on product weight and edge sharpness.
Usually the bag is too large, the tunnel temperature is too low, the blower speed is too low, or the film quality is inconsistent. Try a tighter bag, higher tunnel temperature, higher blower speed, or a more consistent film.
Too much heat. Lower the tunnel temperature, increase conveyor speed, or add more ventilation holes so the air escapes faster.
Uneven shrink is usually temperature distribution, conveyor speed, or film consistency. Fogging is often trapped air or too much heat. Check the tunnel airflow, add ventilation holes, and confirm the film grade with us.
PVC is lower cost, clear, and shrinks at low temperature, but its environmental profile is weaker and some markets restrict it. POF is food-safe, tougher, and more widely accepted for food and retail. We will confirm what your market accepts.
Yes — single-material PE shrink film is available for export customers with recyclability requirements. Typical thickness is 15–19 µm; width and length can be customized.
