Heat Shrink Systems

Polythene heat shrink systems are a very high performance pallet stability product considerably increasing pallet rigidity and security so perfect for packing heavier and larger items and pallets. Heat shrink film also protects from water damage as this product is waterproof and produces a completely sealed package when applied correctly. Heat shrink film is often clear in colour but in our bespoke heat shrink film range we offer coloured and printed options for better security and personalisation. 

Heat Activated Heat Shrink Film Rolls 

Heat shrink film is a loose polythene sheet or hood that is shrunk back onto the pallet by applying heat, usually with a gas heat shrink gun. It is a very tough and strong method of pallet wrapping and gives a watertight covering for pallets of all shapes and sizes.

Heat activated shrink film is a specially formulated LDPE plastic wrapping film that is activated by applying heat, normally in the form of a gas flame from a heat shrink gun. When heated the film shrinks in on the item it is wrapped around and provides a tight waterproof covering that is very durable. Heat activated shrink film is often used for packing larger and heavier items such as white goods like washing machines & fridges, as well as pallets and even boats! We stock a range of heat shrink film rolls in different widths and also in continuous heat shrink film tubing to cover a range of different packaging applications.

Heat Shrink Pallet Hoods

Heat shrink pallet hoods are a very large gusseted shrink bag which is big enough to completely cover a pallet. These shrink hoods are then heated using a gas gun to shrink the pallet cover to tightly grip the pallet contents. Shrink pallet covers are designed specifically for covering pallets but also can be used for a variety of other items. These pallet covers are perforated on a roll, tear a cover off pull over a pallet then use a heat gun to shrink the film tightly around your pallet creating a secure waterproof barrier. Heat shrink hoods are very popular for building materials and other heavy pallets as they provide very high pallet stability and puncture resistance.

Polyolefin Shrink Film

Polyolefin shrink film is a high performance presentation shrink film which is fast becoming more popular than PVC. It has less of an impact on the environment, is stronger and more flexible, as well as being able to withstand lower temperatures in the freezer food industries.

Polyolefin is not as corrosive as PVC shrink film and does not give off harmful gases making it a much safer product to work with. It also leaves less residue on sealing equipment reducing machine cleaning and associated down-time.
