2000mm (Film Width) x 1000mm (Folded/Roll Width).

Description

Heat shrink wrap must be used in conjunction with a heat source, please take a look at our range of shrink machines.

All rolls listed are produced with 30% recycled content and are 100% recyclable.

Polythene shrink film is ideal for securing large and abnormal shaped products to a pallet, regularly used in engineering and construction type industries.

The film provides a second skin over the product and can be used for optimum protection.

More Information

When it comes to securing heavy palletised freight, raw material bundles, or heavy-duty engineering machinery for transit, L-PAC’s industrial polythene shrink film provides heavy-duty, unyielding structural containment. Manufactured from thick, high-strength low-density polyethylene (LDPE), this film is specifically engineered to withstand deep heat exposure from industrial gas shrink guns or high-throughput transit tunnels. Upon cooling, it contracts into a rigid, highly protective layer that locks heavy or irregularly shaped items tightly to the pallet, completely eliminating shifting during transit.

Our heavy-duty polythene shrink film provides an airtight shield against rain, road salt, dust, and industrial grime, making it indispensable for maritime freight and long-distance road transport originating in industrial hubs like Teesside, Tyneside, Lancashire, and Cheshire. Puncture-resistant and designed to handle sharp edges or heavy cast-iron components, L-PAC’s polythene shrink wrap ensures your valuable industrial output arrives at its destination in factory-fresh condition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is this polythene shrink film suitable for wrapping heavy, irregular steel fabrications?
Yes, this is exactly what it is designed for. Its thick, heavy-gauge composition allows it to conform closely to complex, angular shapes without tearing or puncturing over sharp edges.

What equipment is needed to apply and shrink this industrial film?
For large-scale items and full pallets, it is typically applied using an industrial propane gas shrink gun. For continuous, uniform lines, it can be passed through large-scale industrial shrink tunnels.

Does this film stick to the products underneath when heat is applied?
No, it shrinks inward to create a taut, self-supporting structural skin. For specialised surface protection on sensitive painted parts, an underlayer of foam or corrugated roll can be applied first.

How does your polythene shrink film compare in cost and strength to standard stretch wrap?
While stretch wrap is excellent for standard boxes, heavy-duty shrink film provides significantly greater rigidity, multi-directional containment, and complete weather-proofing for ultra-heavy, high-value engineering components.
