Polyolefin Shrink Film

Polyolefin shrink film is a low-cost, durable, flexible film with a wide variety of applications. It’s easy to use with wide seal and shrink temperature ranges. Used in packaging parts, products for order fulfillment, cosmetics, and, most commonly, food products. It is also FDA-approved for direct contact with food. Cross linked polyolefin rolls are ideal for high-speed machine application.

There are many reasons why someone would choose to use polyolefin shrink film. One of the main reasons is because it is environmentally friendly and does not release any hazardous chemicals into the environment. It also is less expensive than other plastic wraps, but equally as effective at keeping items protected from harm. It can also be recycled so there is no waste with this type of shrink wrap.

Another popular use for polyolefin shrink film is within the medical field. This process is often referred to as "plastic laminate" where items like plastic trays and syringes are wrapped in polyolefin shrink film. This is done to help avoid any contact with the product that could lead to contamination with bacteria or other harmful substances.

The polyolefin tends to be wrapped around the tray tightly so that there is no chance for air bubbles to affect the items inside of it.

Someone may choose this type of shrink wrap or plastic laminate for shipping purposes. The sharps containers often found within the medical field are also used for the shipping of glass syringes, vials, and other similar items. This helps protect the needle or tip from being damaged during shipping so that it is not causing harm to the person receiving this package.

There are some improvements as far as packaging goes as more companies move towards "greener" options. Recycled Polyolefin films are now available. Companies  are also moving towards using biodegradable materials for the packaging of their products. This will help to reduce any environmental damages when they are disposed of in landfills, which is something that many people are concerned about these days.

Polyolefin shrink wrap is often used in industrial applications. This is because it is a puncture-resistant film that can hold-up to a lot of wear and tear. It is also less expensive than other types of plastic wraps, but equally as effective. Some of the most popular industrial applications for polyolefin shrink wrap are:

• Shrink wrapping machines
• Packaging and shipping products
• Laminate protection against contamination
