Description

Polyolefin shrink film is the most commonly used type of shrink film in the market, offering the best value for money per meter.

The film is more environmentally friendly than PVC, containing no harsh chemicals and therefore no harmful fumes or carbon deposits left on the blade of a machine.

Our full range of polyolefin film now contains a minimum of 30% recycled content.

Polyolefin film also offers a significantly higher puncture resistance and provides better strength and seal at lower ambient temperatures.

More Information

When precision, high-tensile containment, and visual clarity are paramount, L-PAC’s premium polyolefin shrink film (POF) delivers advanced protection for engineering components, consumer goods, and multi-packs. Unlike basic PVC films, our multi-layered polyolefin shrink film is incredibly strong, flexible, and entirely odour-free when processed through high-temperature shrink tunnels. It offers exceptional puncture and tear resistance, making it ideal for shielding oddly shaped metal fabrications, pristine machinery parts, and bundled retail items against dust, moisture, and superficial scratching.

For advanced engineering operations and contract packers operating in regional hubs like Sunderland, Newcastle, Manchester, and Liverpool, our polyolefin wrap guarantees a professional glass-like finish that doesn’t become brittle over time. This high-yield film works flawlessly across manual, semi-automatic, and fully automated high-speed packaging machinery, ensuring maximum throughput and minimal downtime for your packaging lines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes polyolefin shrink film superior to PVC shrink film?
Polyolefin is stronger, more puncture-resistant, does not emit corrosive chloride gases when heated, and does not become brittle or yellow with age, making it far superior for long-term storage and rugged transport.

Is your polyolefin shrink film safe for contact with delicate components or food products?
Yes, our polyolefin film is clean, non-toxic, and widely used for consumer-facing goods, medical devices, and precision electronic components requiring dust-free containment.

What centerfold widths and micrometer gauges do you stock for heavy industry?
We stock a wide array of centrefold widths and thicknesses, ranging from lightweight retail films to heavy-gauge options engineered to contain heavier industrial items.

Does this film work effectively with manual heat guns or just automated shrink tunnels?
While it can be shrunk using manual heat guns and impulse sealers, it achieves its optimal, tightest glass-clear finish when run through semi-automatic or automated shrink tunnels.

How fast can L-PAC deliver bulk orders of polyolefin film to engineering firms in Teesside or Lancashire?
With our strong distribution network spanning the North East and North West, we maintain deep stock levels to offer rapid, dependable lead times directly to your industrial facility.
