Shrink film, also known as shrink wrap, is made up of thin polymer plastic material. Its name represents what happens to the material once heat is applied. By using a simple handheld heat gun or automating with a conveyorized heat tunnel, you can tightly shrink the film over whatever object you want to have unitized or protected.

By applying shrink film to your product, you are protecting it from dust and moisture. It also won’t crush your product or cause any bending or distortion. Shrink film also allows clear view of product. Shrink film can replace expensive cartons and be used to bundle products together for promotions.
