Shrink film: how to choose

When heated, shrink film tightens around the product and holds its shape. This is how bottled water is packed into multipacks, along with cans, boxes and goods on pallets.

Where it's used

• Multipacks of drinks, canned food and household chemicals.
• Protecting palletised goods from dust and moisture.
• Wrapping furniture, building materials and large items.

Which thickness

• 30⁠–⁠50 µm — light goods and single boxes.
• 50⁠–⁠80 µm — bottle and can multipacks, the most popular option.
• 100⁠–⁠150 µm — heavy loads and pallets.

Tube, half⁠-⁠tube or sheet

The film format depends on your equipment. A hand heat gun is enough for small volumes; for a production line you need a shrink chamber or tunnel. Not sure which format suits your line? Send us the equipment model and we'll match it.

We make shrink film in Samarkand and choose the thickness and roll format for your product. Send us the pack size and weight — we'll work out usage and quote a price for the batch.
