If you are sourcing PE shrink film, one of your first questions is: “What does it cost?” The honest answer is that PE shrink film pricing depends on several factors.
What Drives PE Shrink Film Price
1. Raw Material (Resin) Cost
PE shrink film is made from LDPE resin. Resin prices fluctuate with oil markets. Virgin LDPE resin represents 30-50% of finished film cost.
2. Order Volume
| Monthly Volume | Price Tier |
|---|---|
| Under 500 kg | Sample / trial order |
| 500-2,000 kg | Standard pricing |
| 2,000-10,000 kg | Volume discount |
| Over 10,000 kg | Factory-direct best rate |
3. Custom Specifications
Printing adds cylinder cost and per-roll premium. Anti-UV, anti-static, and food-grade additives carry material premiums.
4. Incoterms
FOB Shanghai, CIF destination port, or DDP delivered pricing changes the landed cost significantly.
