Heat Shrink Wrap

For small crafts, a hair dryer might work on thin film. However, for industrial packaging and pallet wrapping, a dedicated heat gun or shrink tunnel is essential. These tools provide the consistent, high temperatures needed for a uniform, secure shrink without damaging the film or the product, ensuring professional results.

Our industrial heat shrink wrap is typically made from polyolefin, a durable and versatile polymer. This material is favored for its excellent clarity, strength, and reliable shrink properties. It is also puncture-resistant and provides a strong barrier against moisture and dust, keeping your products secure during transit and storage.

The right gauge, or thickness, depends on the weight and shape of your products. Lighter items may only need a 60-75 gauge film. Heavier or irregularly shaped loads require a thicker film, often 100 gauge or more, to prevent punctures and ensure load stability. Our team can help you select the optimal thickness for your application.

Yes, specific types of heat shrink wrap, particularly polyolefin films, are FDA-approved for direct contact with food. This makes it an excellent choice for packaging food and beverage items, as it provides a secure, tamper-evident seal that protects against contamination. Always confirm the film's specific rating before use in your application.

Proper application requires a dedicated heat source. For manual or lower-volume operations, an industrial heat gun provides targeted heat. For higher-volume production lines, semi-automatic or fully automatic L-bar sealers and shrink tunnels are used to efficiently seal and shrink the film around products with consistency and speed.

Yes, we supply heat shrink wrap in a wide range of roll widths and lengths to suit various product sizes and automated machinery. Whether you are wrapping small consumer goods or entire pallets, we can provide the correctly sized film to minimize waste and optimize your packaging process.
