What is Shrink Film?

Shrink film is a plastic film that contracts when exposed to controlled heat, creating a tight covering around a product or group of products. It is used for bundling, protection, tamper indication, and product presentation. Shrink film is common in FMCG, retail, food, beverages, and industrial packaging. It can be applied manually or using automated shrink-wrapping systems. Film type and thickness are selected according to product size and application.
