Know about PE Film type
What is PE shrink film?
PE (polyethylene) shrink film is a heat-shrinkable LDPE film that tightly wraps beverage multipacks, cartons, and industrial products when passed through a heat tunnel. It is widely used for bottled water, soft drinks, beer cans, food packaging, and heavy-duty bundling.
We are a PE shrink film manufacturer supplying custom LDPE shrink film rolls engineered for stable shrinkage, strong bundling, and smooth running on manual, semi-automatic, and automatic packaging lines. Film thickness ranges from 30μm to 200μm, width from 50mm to 3000mm, with optional 1–7 color gravure printing.
Rust-proof Film/Bag
- The anti-rust bag/film combines polymer materials with VCI gas-phase anti-rust technology, which is primarily used to protect metal products from rust.
- It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and supports a wide range of metal protection applications.
- Suitable for industrial scenarios such as auto parts, mechanical parts, electronic components, etc.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is PE shrink film?
PE shrink film is a heat-shrinkable polyethylene film that tightens around products when heated in a shrink tunnel. It is commonly used to bundle bottled water, beverages, cartons, and industrial products for transport and retail display.
What thickness of PE shrink film should I use?
The correct thickness depends on package weight, bundle configuration, and transport conditions. Light beverage multipacks typically use 40–70μm. Heavier loads and industrial packaging may require 80–200μm. Send us your product details and we will recommend the right gauge.
Can PE shrink film run on automatic packaging machines?
Yes. Our LDPE shrink rolls are engineered for automatic lines with ≤±5% thickness consistency, ≤±1.5mm end-face deviation, and closed-loop constant tension winding. Jointless rolls are available for high-speed continuous production.
Can you customize film width and thickness?
Yes. We produce film from 30μm to 200μm thick and 50mm to 3000mm wide. Roll length can be customized from 1000m to 3000m to match your production rhythm and reduce reel-change frequency.
Can you print logos on PE shrink film?
Yes. We offer up to 7-color gravure printing with food-grade inks for brand logos, product information, and promotional graphics. Corona treatment is applied to ensure ink adhesion.
What information do you need for a quotation?
At minimum: what you are packaging, product dimensions, units per bundle, packaging machine type, and monthly quantity. If you already use shrink film, your current thickness and width will help us recommend a direct replacement.
Can you provide samples?
Yes. We can prepare sample rolls for you to test on your own packaging line before placing a bulk order. This helps verify machine compatibility, shrink appearance, and bundle stability.
What shrink temperature does PE film need?
Our PE shrink film typically shrinks at 150°C–180°C, compatible with both hot-air and infrared shrink tunnels. Exact settings depend on film thickness, bundle weight, and conveyor speed.

PE Shrink Film vs POF Shrink Film
Not sure which shrink film to choose? Here is a quick comparison:
| PE Shrink Film | POF Shrink Film | |
| Typical use | Heavy multipacks, beverage bundling, industrial packaging | Retail packaging, lightweight consumer goods |
| Strength | High puncture resistance | Medium-high |
| Typical thickness | 30–200μm (thicker) | 12–30μm (thinner) |
| Beverage bundles | Excellent | Limited for heavy loads |
| Industrial packaging | Excellent | Less typical |
| Clarity | Good | Excellent |
If you are packaging bottled water, beverage multipacks, heavy cartons, furniture or machinery — PE shrink film is the right choice.

About Workshop
Engineered for Stable Automatic Packaging Lines
Poor film consistency causes tracking problems, broken film, uneven sealing, machine stoppages, and higher scrap on high-speed packaging lines. Our LDPE shrink rolls are built to prevent these issues:
- Thickness uniformity ≤±5%: Online thickness monitoring during extrusion ensures consistent film from the first meter to the last, reducing weak-point ruptures and uneven shrinkage.
- End-face deviation ≤±1.5mm: Precision winding keeps roll edges straight, preventing side-to-side tracking on automatic sealers.
- Core tolerance ≤±0.5mm: Standard 3-inch (76mm) high-strength paper cores with tight tolerance ensure perfect fit on your machine shaft — no wobbling, no slipping.
- Closed-loop constant tension: Real-time tension control from outer to inner layer prevents loose-inner / tight-outer winding problems and blocking.
- Jointless roll option: For high-speed continuous lines, seamless rolls are available to eliminate joint-related stoppages. Standard rolls have ≤2 joints, ultrasonically welded and color-coded.
- Multi-layer co-extrusion: Balanced MD/TD shrink ratios deliver smooth, wrinkle-free wrapping on beverage multipacks and industrial bundles.
How PE Shrink Film Is Manufactured
Our manufacturing system covers the full chain from resin to finished roll:
- Raw Material Selection: Virgin LDPE resin (or specified recycled / food-grade material) is inspected on arrival.
- Resin Mixing & Formula Control: Resin blends are adjusted to target shrink ratio, tensile strength, clarity, and heat-sealing performance.
- Blown Film Extrusion: Resin melts in the extruder, forms a tube through an annular die, is inflated and cooled into a stable bubble, then collapsed and wound.
- Thickness & Width Control: Online thickness gauges monitor film in real time; total roll deviation kept within ≤±5%.
- Printing (if ordered): Up to 7-color gravure printing with precision registration and food-grade inks.
- Slitting & Rewinding: Film is slit to exact width, rewound under closed-loop constant tension, end-face deviation ≤±1.5mm.
- Quality Inspection: Every roll is checked for thickness, width, appearance, shrink performance, and winding quality.
- Packing & Shipment: Rolls are wrapped, packed in cartons on pallets, and prepared for export delivery (FOB / CIF / CFR).
