What is a polyolefin shrink wrap?
Polyolefin shrink films (POF) are modern packaging solutions characterized by exceptional transparency, high strength, and versatile applications. Compared to conventionalfilms, polyolefin films (POF) offer significant advantages: they are more environmentally friendly, have greater shrinkage power, and provide better puncture resistance.
The excellent shrinkage results ensure optimal product protection and make polyolefin fine-shrink films (POF) the preferred choice for packaging a wide variety of products.

Material Composition and Workmanship
Polyolefin shrink films consist of multilayer structures, with polyethylene and polypropylene serving as the main components to ensure optimal technical properties and transparency. As a manufacturer of shrink film, we place particular emphasis on exceptional quality. Production takes place on modern extruders, where multilayer granule blends are efficiently processed and then wound into rolls.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between polyolefin film (POF) and PVC film?
films the more modern and environmentally friendly alternative to PVC. They are fully recyclable, contain no plasticizers, and burn without leaving any residue. In addition, they are clearer, more tear-resistant, and perform more reliably on modern packaging machines than PVC. In most applications, POF has now completely replaced PVC.
For which products is polyolefin shrink wrap suitable?
films for a very wide range of products: food items such as fruit, baked goods, and cheese; non-food products such as books, cosmetics, electronics, and toys; as well as technical components. Depending on the requirements, variants with anti-fog treatment, an antistatic coating, or opacity are available.
Which POF film is right for my packaging machine?
This depends on the machine speed, product shape, and surface requirements. For high-speed lines, we recommend X-Foil or Unique; for general-purpose applications, Ultimate+ or Universal; and for delicate fresh produce, AF (Antifog). We would be happy to advise you based on your specific machine configuration.
Are polyolefin films food-safe and certified?
Yes. Ourfilms FDA requirements and are food-safe in accordance with EU packaging regulations. In addition, the films are certified films ISO 9001, ISO 22000, BRC, and other standards. Migration testing, REACH SVHC compliance, and RoHS compliance are standard. Certificates can be provided upon request.
In what thicknesses and widths are the polyolefin films available?
Our product range includes thicknesses from 9 to 37 µm, tailored to meet various requirements for protection, material costs, and machine compatibility. Available as flat film or half-tube, with core diameters of 76 or 152 mm, and optionally with macro- or micro-perforation. Roll lengths are customized to fit your packaging machine.
