Types of Shrink Wrap Film

There are several different types of shrink wrap film available, each designed to meet the specific needs of different businesses. These include:

 

PVC shrink wrap film

PVC shrink wrap film is a more affordable option that is suitable for use with a wide range of products. However, 

it is not suitable for use with all types of products and may emit harmful chemicals when exposed to heat.

 

Polyolefin shrink wrap film

Polyolefin shrink wrap film is a more versatile option that offers better product protection. It is also more environmentally friendly than PVC shrink wrap film, as it can be recycled and does not emit harmful chemicals when exposed to heat.

 

Cross-linked polyolefin shrink wrap film

Cross-linked polyolefin shrink wrap film is a high-performance option that offers superior strength and durability. It is ideal for use with heavy or irregularly-shaped products.

 

Anti-static shrink wrap film

Anti-static shrink wrap film is designed for use with electronic products, as it helps to prevent static buildup and potential damage to sensitive electronic components.

 

Factors to Consider When Choosing Shrink Wrap Film:

When choosing shrink wrap film, it's important to consider several factors to ensure that you select the right film for your specific needs. These factors include:

Product size and volume
Consider the size and volume of the products that you need to package. If you have larger or irregularly-shaped products, you may need a thicker or more durable film.

Type of packaging machine
Consider the type of packaging machine that you will be using with the shrink wrap film. Different machines may be better suited for different types of film.

Desired level of product protection
Consider the level of protection that your products require during shipping and handling. Thicker films may provide better protection for fragile or perishable products.

Printing and customisation:
Consider whether you need to print or customize your shrink wrap film. Some films are designed specifically for printing, while others may be more difficult to customize.
