Shrink Film

Polyolefin and Polythene Film for Presentation, Collation and Transit Protection

Our shrink film range covers high-clarity polyolefin film for retail presentation and polythene shrink film for collation, transit and heavier-duty applications. Film type, width and thickness are selected around the product, sealing equipment and shrink tunnel so the complete pack performs consistently.

Shrink Film Specified Around Your Product and Machinery

Reliable shrink wrapping depends on the relationship between the product, film, sealer and tunnel. Severn Packaging reviews the complete application before recommending a film, helping establish the correct presentation, seal strength, shrink performance and material usage.

Machinery and Film from One Supplier

One team can support the film, sealing equipment and shrink tunnel, simplifying compatibility, commissioning and ongoing optimisation.

Film Selected for the Application

Choose high-clarity polyolefin for presentation-led packs or polythene for collation, transit protection and heavier products.

Samples and Production Trials

Representative products can be trialled to establish film width, thickness, sealing conditions and tunnel settings before approval.

Material Use Optimised

The specification is developed to achieve the required pack performance without using unnecessary film thickness or oversizing the web.

Pair Shrink Film with the Right Wrapping Machinery

Our shrink films can be specified for chamber shrink wrapping machines, L-sealer systems and automatic side sealers. The sealed pack is then finished through a correctly configured shrink tunnel. Matching film, sealing method and tunnel performance helps deliver consistent seals, controlled shrink and a repeatable finished pack.

How We Choose the Right Shrink Film

STEP 01

Understand the Product and Pack

We review the product, presentation standard, protection requirement and wrapping process.

  • Consider product size, shape and heat sensitivity
  • Confirm whether the pack is for presentation, collation or transit
  • Review the existing machine and finished-pack requirements
01
STEP 02

Compare Suitable Film Formats

We assess the film type, width and thickness against the product and wrapping equipment.

  • Compare polyolefin and polythene where appropriate
  • Check compatibility with the sealer and shrink tunnel
  • Consider clarity, strength and material use
02
STEP 03

Test and Confirm the Film

Where appropriate, representative products are trialled before the specification and supply arrangement are agreed.

  • Check seal integrity and shrink appearance
  • Confirm suitable machine settings and pack method
  • Plan repeat supply around forecast demand
