Heat Shrink Wrap

Heat shrink wrap is a versatile, cost‑effective way to protect, bundle, and display your products. U.S. Packaging & Wrapping offers heat shrink wrap for projects big and small, whether you need heavy-duty heat shrink plastic to protect bulky items or a lighter, food-safe wrap for consumable goods. Choose shrink wrap rolls for coverage over large items or bags and tubing for smaller products. Our heat shrink packaging delivers a professional, secure finish for every application.

What Heat Shrink Packaging Can Do

Heat shrink packaging is a versatile plastic film that tightly seals and protects products of all shapes and sizes. Unlike stretch film, which is used for unitizing loads without heat, heat shrink wrap requires heat to conform snugly around whatever you're packaging. When you apply heat with a heat gun, shrink tunnel, or machine, the film shrinks and creates a secure, tamper-evident barrier. This makes heat shrink plastic ideal for everything from retail packaging and food safety to bundling hardware.

Common shrink wrap plastics include polyolefin, PVC, and polyethylene. Polyolefin offers excellent clarity and is approved for direct food contact, while PVC is known for its versatility and affordability.

What's the difference between shrink wrap and stretch film?

Shrink wrap is a heat-activated plastic packaging film that shrinks tightly around items when heat is applied, creating a secure, tamper-evident seal, making it ideal for retail and food packaging. Stretch film is a stretchable plastic used to wrap and stabilize pallet loads; it doesn't require heat and is mostly used for transport and storage.

Can your heat shrink wrap be used for food products?

Many of our heat shrink packaging options, such as polyolefin shrink film and shrink bags, are FDA-approved for direct food contact. Always check the product details to be sure the shrink wrap you choose is food-safe.

What size or thickness should I choose for my project?

The best size and thickness depend on what you're packaging. Thicker films (like 100 gauge) offer more durability for bulkier items, while thinner films are great for lightweight products. Our team can help you choose the right option for your needs.
