Polyolefin Heat Shrink Film
Manufactured for retail and food applications, our polyolefin heat shrink film provides a clear, professional finish while helping to protect products during storage and transit. Suitable for use with heat shrink equipment, it's available in a range of thicknesses and offers a recyclable alternative to traditional PVC shrink film.
Polythene Heat Shrink Film
Designed for heavier-duty applications, our polythene heat shrink film provides reliable protection for larger products, pallet loads, and outdoor storage. Available in a range of thicknesses, it shrinks tightly around items when heat is applied, helping to protect contents from moisture, dirt, and damage during storage and transport.
Shrink Covers
Our shrink covers offer a simple way to protect large or irregularly shaped products during storage and transit. Once heat is applied, they shrink to create a secure, protective layer around pallet loads, machinery, and other bulky items, helping to keep contents clean and protected.
Continuous Tubing on a Roll
Continuous tubing on a roll provides a flexible packaging solution for products of different lengths. Simply cut the film to the required size before sealing and applying heat, creating custom shrink wrap that fits a wide range of products while reducing packaging waste.
Pallet Heat Shrink Film System
Designed for securing pallet loads, our pallet heat shrink film system helps protect products during storage and transport. The heat shrink process creates a secure, sealed layer around the pallet, providing dependable load stability while helping to protect against moisture, dirt, and transit damage.
Stretch Film & Pallet Wrap
Unlike shrink wrap, stretch film and pallet wrap are applied by stretching the film around products rather than using heat. They're commonly used to secure pallet loads for storage and transport, helping keep products stable throughout delivery. We also offer machine pallet wrap and hand pallet wrap in a choice of colours to suit different applications.
