Heat-Shrink Wrapping for Single Items and Bundles
Goyopak PE shrink wrap is made by multilayer tubular blown film extrusion and stretched during forming, creating tension in the film.
When heated to approximately 160°C in a shrink tunnel or with a heat gun, this tension is released, and the film shrinks around the pack to fit closely to the product’s shape.
It can pack an item alone, like a carton package, and also bring a group of loose items together into one unit, making them easier to handle, store, and display. Its purpose goes beyond simply covering products: it helps hold the pack together.
What You Get with Goyopak PE Shrink Film
Strong Tear & Puncture Resistance
Made from premium LLDPE blends, Goyopak shrink film stands up to sharp corners, protruding edges and rough transit impacts. With tear resistance above 50N/25μm, your packs stay intact through vibration and handling.
Moisture & Dust Protection
The dense PE layer blocks water vapor and workshop dust, keeping your products in good condition during storage. It performs from -40°C to 80°C, so humid, dusty or extreme-temperature environments are covered.
Clear Display & Custom Branding
With light transmittance above 80%, your product’s original look shows through without unpacking. The smooth surface prints well, and we can add your logo and patterns to strengthen brand recognition.
Lightweight, Lower Material Cost
Our thin-gauge construction keeps dependable holding strength while using less film per pack, which trims your ongoing packaging spend.
Made to Your Specification
Every order is made to your requirements. Within standard film ranges, you decide:
Width
The width your pack and your machine’s film path need.
Thickness
Lighter film for light bundles, heavier film for heavy or sharp-edged loads.
Printing
Your logo, warning messages or other text and patterns printed directly on the film.
Form
Single-sheet film, centerfold film or tubular film, or ready-made bags in flat bottom or open-ended styles.
Color
Transparent or white as standard, other colors on request.
Formulation
Anti-static and UV-resistant additives, recycled content or other options on request.
Core and packing
3 in (76 mm) core as standard, other sizes on request, and pallet packing for export.

Where Goyopak PE Shrink Film Is Used
-
Bottle & Can MultipacksWhat we supply: Centerfold and single-wound rolls, clear or reverse-printed, 400–1,200 mm wide, 25–60 µm, sized to suit each pack footprint.
Typical use: Cans and bottles packed without a tray, wrapped and shrunk so the film pulls tight around the neck and body. The pack holds without straps, and the print becomes the shelf-facing surface. -
Trays of Jars & Ceramic WareWhat we supply: Rolls and layflat tubing, 300–900 mm wide, 30–70 µm thick, width by tray footprint, length to clear the tallest jar.
Typical use: Glass jars and ceramic ware upright in trays or between dividers. The skin holds jars in place and the tray square: the film carries dust and tamper protection, the tray carries impact. -
Cartons, Boxes & Insulation SlabsWhat we supply: Single-wound rolls and layflat tubing, 400–1,500 mm, 40–80 µm, cut square to case footprint, heavier gauge for slabs.
Typical use: Stacked cartons, retail-ready cases and mineral wool slabs packed without cartons. Shrinking over square edges holds the stack together: corners stay true and faces stay flat. -
Profiles, Boards & Long LengthsWhat we supply: Layflat tubing 200–1,200 mm wide, 40–100 µm, cut to bundle length plus allowance, heavier where sections are sharp.
Typical use: Aluminum profiles, timber, PVC board and pipe. The tube is sleeved over the bundle and then shrunk, giving one tight bundle along its length with the cut ends left open for inspection. -
Mixed & Irregular BundlesWhat we supply: Rolls or bags made per order, no standard size, 25–100 µm, measured off each real bundle before making.
Typical use: Loose pieces, from count-packed firewood and mixed-size loads to protruding parts, odd shapes and one-off bundles. We size film to each shipment’s actual bundle. -
Pails, Drums & Rigid ContainersWhat we supply: Shrink bags, flat or gusseted, 550–1,200 mm wide, 40–80 µm, made to fit your container diameter and height.
Typical use: Paint pails, 20–200 L drums and chemical containers. Each unit is bagged and shrunk into a tight skin that contains minor drips, keeps dust out and leaves a clean face for labels. -
Furniture & AppliancesWhat we supply: Gusseted bags and wide layflat tubing, 1,200 to 2,400 mm, 50–100 µm, bag depth plus overlap per item.
Typical use: Compressed insulation rolls, sofas, mattresses and white goods. Each item is bagged whole and shrunk taut to stay secure through storage, container loading and short-haul transport. -
Machinery & Oversized EquipmentWhat we supply: Bags sized per unit to the largest cross-section, 3,000 mm maximum flat width, white or clear, 150–250 µm.
Typical use: Machine tools, skid-mounted units and irregular frames. Each bag is made to your drawing for sea freight, keeping salt air, drips and dust outside. White film hides the item from the yard.
Getting the Film Running on Your Line
- 1. Share your line. Send your machine type, how it seals, whether you use a shrink tunnel or heat gun, your line speed, and your pack size and weight.
- 2. Confirm the film specification. We confirm the film form, width, thickness and formulation according to your pack and process requirements.
- 3. Test a free sample. Run the sample on your line using the settings for similar film. Adjust temperature and line speed as needed to check the results.
- 4. Review the result together. If the shrink, seal or strength is not what you need, our factory team adjusts the specification based on your feedback.
Supply and Support After Sample Approval
Once you approve the sample, Goyopak produces your order to that specification.
Film thickness is measured in-line during extrusion and checked again on finished rolls or bags, so the material you receive stays consistent with the film you tested.
If the film does not perform as expected, share your order number, photos of the issue and your line settings.
Goyopak reviews the specification and your test conditions to find the cause, then agrees on the corrective action with you. Where the cause lies in the specification, the next order is made to the corrected one.
For wrapping entire pallet loads, PE shrink hoods are a more suitable option. They cover the top and sides of the load and shrink around it to provide external protection. See our [PE Shrink Hoods] page for more details.
Centerfold film is commonly used on L-sealers and sleeve-wrapping machines. Single-wound film suits flow wrappers and side-seal machines, while layflat tubing suits manual or semi-automatic sleeving of bundles and long profiles. Ready-made bags need no film-feeding machine: you place the item in the bag, then run it through a shrink tunnel or under a heat gun, which suits bulky or irregular items such as furniture, drums, and machinery.
The suitable format depends on your machine’s feeding and sealing arrangement, or on whether you pack by hand. Send us your machine model or a photo of your current film roll, and we can help confirm the format.
Plain PE shrink film made from LDPE and LLDPE is material code 4 and is designed for PE film recycling streams. Printing inks and additional barrier layers may affect recycling compatibility. Acceptance also varies between local recycling systems, so a PE material code does not guarantee acceptance at every facility.
We do not keep standard stock. PE shrink film is made to order according to the required specifications, including width, thickness and formulation.
Production lead time depends on the processing requirements and the order’s position in our current production schedule. The estimated lead time is confirmed with each quotation.
