Cross-Linked POF vs. Standard POF Shrink Film
Both films provide a clear, professional finish and dependable product protection. Choose the film that best matches your packaging needs.
Standard Polyolefin (POF) Shrink Film
A cost-effective option for everyday shrink packaging. Standard POF offers reliable shrink performance, good clarity, and smooth sealing for a variety of applications.
Best for:
Boxes, printed materials, and retail products
Food items, cosmetics, and general merchandise
L-bar sealers and shrink tunnel systems
Businesses looking for dependable packaging at an economical price
Cross-Linked Polyolefin (POF) Shrink Film
A premium shrink film designed for added strength and performance. Cross-linked POF provides improved puncture resistance, stronger seals, and a polished, high-gloss appearance.
Best for:
Heavier, sharper, or irregularly shaped products
Multi-packs and retail-ready packaging
Applications that need stronger product protection
High-volume packaging operations
Which Film Is Right for You?
Choose standard POF for reliable, cost-effective everyday packaging.
Choose cross-linked POF when you need added strength, improved durability, and a premium finished look.
Single-Wound Film (SW)
Single-wound shrink film is a flat, single-layer web of film supplied on a roll. It is ideal for applications that require a flat sheet of film or separate film webs for packaging. Single-wound film offers clear product visibility, dependable shrink performance, and a professional finished appearance.
It is commonly used with automated shrink packaging systems, side-seal machines, and applications where the film is formed around the product during the packaging process.
Center-Fold Film (CF)
Center-fold shrink film is pre-folded lengthwise, creating two layers of film on one roll. The fold acts as one side of the package, allowing the product to be placed between the layers before the remaining sides are sealed.
Center-fold film is a popular choice for L-bar sealers and shrink tunnel systems. It provides an efficient way to package boxes, printed materials, retail products, food items, cosmetics, and other products in a clean, protective shrink package.
Find the Right Size for Your Application
Our polyolefin shrink film is available in a variety of widths, gauges, and roll lengths to fit your product and packaging equipment. Whether you need center-fold or single-wound film, choosing the correct size helps create a clean seal, reduce waste, and give your products a professional finish.
How to Choose Your Film Width
Start by measuring your product’s:
Width — side to side
Height — bottom to top
Length — front to back
For most center-fold shrink film applications, use this formula:
Product width + product height + 2–3 inches = recommended film width
For example, a product that is 10" wide and 5" high will typically require an 18" wide center-fold film roll.
Center-Fold vs. Single-Wound Film
Center-fold film is pre-folded to create two layers of film on one roll. It is a popular choice for L-bar sealers and shrink tunnels.
Single-wound film is supplied as one flat layer of film and is commonly used on compatible automatic and side-seal shrink packaging systems.
Choose the Right Film Gauge
45–60 gauge: lightweight products
75 gauge: general-purpose packaging
100 gauge or higher: heavier, sharp-edged, or irregularly shaped products
