Product Overview
Our PE Double-Open Heat Shrink Film is made for high‑speed bundling of beverage containers.
The unique two‑way open (tubular) structure lets you slide the film over a group of bottles or cans from either end. This simple design greatly improves packaging efficiency – whether you use manual or automatic lines.
Made from premium polyethylene, it gives you:
-
Consistent shrinkage
-
Excellent optical clarity
-
Strong sealing strength
The result: professional‑looking multi‑packs that stay secure during transport and on store shelves.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this film suitable for automatic shrink wrapping machines?
Yes. It runs perfectly on most automatic L‑bar sealers, side sealers, and shrink tunnels. The double‑open design makes loading easy.
Q2: What temperature should the shrink tunnel be set to?
Typically between 140°C and 170°C. We recommend a short test run with your specific machine to fine‑tune settings.
Q3: Can I get custom width and thickness?
Absolutely. We offer custom slitting from 200 mm to 1000 mm flat width, and thickness from 25 to 50 microns. Minimum order quantities may apply.
Q4: Is this film printable?
Yes. Our PE shrink film can be surface‑printed (up to 8 colors) with your brand logo or handling instructions. Contact us for artwork requirements.
