Centerfold PVC and Polyolefin Shrink Film

Centerfold shrink film available in polyolefin and PVC.

WE'VE CHANGED OUR POLYOLEFIN SHRINK FILMS
We've changed the listings of our polyolefin shrink films to make it easier for you to order. The low temperature shrink film shrinks at a lower temperature then standard and is recommended for most one-step type shrink wrap machines. Our low temperature and anti-fog film now comes in half rolls which are easier to handle. We also have some regular polyolefin film in full size rolls . If you don't see what you want give us a call at 559 539-3076.

Center fold shrink film is a shrinkable film that comes in a roll. The film is folded in the center so that it comes off the roll with the fold to the top. The actual width of film unfolded is twice what is listed (18" film unfolded is 36" across). This type of film is used with L-bar sealers of all types and can also be used with I-bar sealers.

SIZING FILM FOR A PRODUCT:
To select the proper film width simply add the product width to the product height and then add 2". So a 6" x 6" x 4" box would be 6 + 4 + 2 = 12" film. You can always use larger film for smaller items...you just have more wasted film.

We have two different types of shrink film depending on your application. Polyolefin is usually soft; if you squeeze a piece of it in your hand, it's soft like Saran wrap. PVC, on the other hand, is crinkley like cellophane. Our polyolefin films can be used for any application including foods. The PVC film we carry is not rated for wrapping food products. The higher the gauge, the thicker (and most of the time, stronger) the film. So use 100 gauge for heavy duty wrapping applications. 60 gauge or thinner can be used for less demanding applications such as tamper proofing soft ware boxes. I'll list each film we carry below along with their individual properties.
