Polyethylene (PE) and Polyolefin (POF) heat shrink films are high-performance, eco-friendly flexible packaging solutions tailored for various industrial and commercial bundling needs. Both materials comply with US FDA and USDA standards, offering non-toxic, 100% recyclable packaging for global distribution.
Performance Comparison:
| Feature / Property | POF Shrink Film (Polyolefin) | PE Shrink Film (Polyethylene) |
| Typical Thickness | Thin gauge (0.012 mm – 0.025 mm) | Heavy-duty gauge (0.03 mm – 0.20 mm) |
| Clarity & Appearance | Ultra-clear, high gloss, soft texture | Semi-clear to translucent, durable |
| Physical Strength | High tensile & tear strength, flexible | High puncture resistance, heavy load capacity |
| Shrinkability | Multi-directional, high & controllable shrink ratio | High holding force, ideal for heavy bundling |
| Cold Resistance | Exceptional down to -50°C (Frozen food safe) | Stable in low-temperature & cold-chain environments |
| Cost Efficiency | Lower unit area cost due to thin gauge | Highly cost-effective for large bulk/pallet packaging |
Core Features:
POF Shrink Film: High clarity and gloss for retail presentation, rapid heat-sealing, superior tear resistance, and wide temperature tolerance without becoming brittle.
PE Shrink Film: High puncture resistance, robust holding force for heavy multi-packs, excellent moisture protection, and high durability for rugged transport.
Application Areas:
POF Shrink Film: Consumer goods, food & beverage (including frozen foods), cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, books, stationery, toys, electronics, and hardware (compatible with automatic L-sealers and high-speed flow wrappers).
PE Shrink Film: Industrial bundling for beverages, beer cans, bottled mineral water, pharmaceuticals, building materials, logistics pallet wrapping, and heavy commercial goods.
