Shrink Wrap Supplies
PVC heat shrink plastic wrap or flat bags are good for small volume gift or retail or industrial shrink wrap packaging, good ventilation may be needed when apply too much heat. Low shrink temperature, easy to shrink are both advantage and disadvantage for PVC shrink wrap plastic and shrink bags — making it one of the most accessible
shrink wrap supplies for entry-level operations. Especially for manual operation, you do not need to apply too much heat to shrink them, at the same time, this also presents a storage challenge. The storage needs to avoid direct shinning sunlight or hot places, since it may pre shrink before use.What is Polyolefin (POF)?
Polyolefin (POF) industrial shrink film is soft and stretchy, and does not have smell when is heated. It is made of polyethylene and polypropylene, which are all FDA approved materials for
heat shrink packaging and food use. Central fold heat shrink film and heat seal equipment, including an
L bar sealer paired with a
heat shrink wrap machineor heat shrink tunnel are often used for
shrink film packaging of retail products. PVC dome bags are a popular choice for
shrink wrap packaging of gift baskets. The difference between
heat shrink plastic tubing film and central fold shrink film is that the tubing film is like a hose, with two sides closed, but central fold
heat shrink wrap film has one side open. Get in touch with us for wholesale

Shrink packaging provides tamper evidence, product protection, enhanced shelf appeal, and moisture resistance — making it ideal for retail, food service, and e-commerce packaging.

Yes. All shrink products are available at wholesale bulk pricing for retailers, food processors, manufacturers, and distribution centers.
