Product type
Shrink films are a type of plastic film that shrinks tightly over whatever it is covering when heat is applied. They are typically made from polyolefin or PVC materials, which offer excellent clarity and strength. These films are commonly used in the packaging industry to secure products for shipping and display, providing protection against dust and moisture while enhancing the product's visual appeal.
| Material | Polyolefin or PVC |
| Thickness range | 30 to 100 microns |
| Width range | 100 mm to 2000 mm |
| Shrink ratio | 50% to 70% |

When selecting shrink films, consider the type of product you are packaging and the required shrink characteristics. Specify the material type, thickness, and width based on your application needs. It's also important to consider the required temperature resistance and whether you need any specific certifications for food safety or environmental standards. Quantities should be specified based on your production volume to ensure cost-effectiveness.
