Shrink film is made of a polymer plastic film that shrinks when heated to the size and shape of the items it surrounds. Shrink film can be used for a variety of purposes, including gift giving, shipping, or organization.

There are a couple of different types of shrink film, so depending on your intended use, you will want to carefully think about which will work best for you. PVC shrink film is made from polyvinyl chloride plastic and was at one time the most common type used. You find PVC shrink film on CDs, DVDs, and electronics, small canisters, and non-edible items.

There are a few drawbacks of PVC film, including its sealing strength and how it responds to hot and cold weather conditions. The plastic also releases small amounts of hydrogen chloride, making it unsafe to wrap around items that are intended to be ingested.

The other type of shrink film, polyolefin shrink film, can be used for edible and non-edible items. It does not produce the same odor as its PVC counterpart and it provides a stronger seal and more flexibility. Temperature and chemical off-gassing is also not an issue with polyolefin film. Today, you find this type of shrink film on a variety of items, including foods and medication.

Polyolefin shrink film is more expensive and can be difficult to use with automated machines, so some business owners prefer using PVC film if it does not damage the final product.
