Shrink Bundling Film

Both our industrial shrink wrap and clear printable shrink wrap films adapt to practically any heat shrink tunnel, shrink wrap machine or shrink wrapper to achieve a tight “bullseye” closure.
Unlike most extruders who consider shrink film to be a dumping ground, we use the same virgin resins and extrude them under the same conditions for you every time. The result is boring, consistent performance so you don’t have to constantly adjust heat shrink tunnel settings.
Many extruders sell film by “gross weight”. What they don’t want you to know: they make film 10% thicker than spec replete with the hidden tare weight cost of cores and packaging. They sell more pounds with an actual cost much higher than the invoice price.
Most specifications for transverse direction (TD) shrink are very loose. A high TD shrink film obviously requires a wider film and inherently higher cost. Calculating the savings is very simple: a percent saved is a percent saved. We offer TD shrink as low as 2% (±1% )
