Polyolefin shrink is an extremely durable and versatile ‘premium’ shrink wrap. Polyolefin materials are available with different characteristics, including cross-linked wrap that provides high-tensile strength and incredible clarity for high-speed packaging applications. Cross-linked wrap also prevents buildup on sealing components of your packaging machinery.
With added strength, the ability to create longer rolls of wrap with thinner gauges available that allow for less roll change-over and increased efficiency and productivity. Polyolefin shrink wrap has excellent puncture-resistance and seal-strength, allowing for irregular-shaped items to have excellent protection throughout its supply chain life-cycle.
The versatility and fairly low-cost that POF offers for multiple machines and packaging forms makes it a go-to form of protective packaging manufacturers of any size. In some instances POF will need perforations added to the wrap; tiny holes added to the wrap before application which allow air to escape during the shrinking process for a smooth package. Pre-perforated shrink wrap is available by many suppliers for this reason.
