ABOUT FLAT SHRINK FILM
Flat Shrink Film is supplied in an unfolded, lay-flat form and is suitable for conventional packaging and bundling lines with heat shrink tunnels. On the line, two film rolls are joined at their ends and unwound over incoming products. After covering the product’s circumference, the trailing ends are sealeded together to complete the package and prepare for the next cycle. Each package then passeses through a shrink tunnel to form a tight, protective wrap. This straightforward process delivers reliable four- or six-sided coverage, providing compact, secure protection for products during storage, transport, and handling. As a heat shrink film built specifically for shrink bundling film applications, this flat format gives converters a dependable, no-fuss option for lines that don’t require fold-and-refold complexity — ideal where speed and consistent coverage matter more than specialized machinery.
