Our shrink bundling film, made in the USA, is a specialized solution designed to securely wrap and protect a wide range of products in various industries. From large consumer goods to irregularly shaped parcels, our shrink film with its high puncture resistance and impact strength, plays a critical role in safeguarding products during distribution and in-store handling.
At Dallas Plastics, we are committed to delivering shrink bundling film quickly to customers at competitive prices ensuring our customers can keep their production lines running smoothly and efficiently without costly delays.
With a focus on sustainability and durability, our shrink film is designed to reduce packaging weight, save on raw materials, and provide exceptional product protection.
Shrink films provide excellent product protection during distribution and in-store handling due to their durability, tensile strength, high puncture resistance, and impact strength. This ensures that the packaged products remain safe and intact throughout the supply chain.
Shrink films contribute to sustainability by significantly reducing packaging weight, which saves on raw materials and energy during the manufacturing process. Despite being thin, these films outperform thicker materials, leading to a reduction in overall material usage and energy consumed.
Shrink films offer longer rolls, resulting in fewer changeovers, less roll handling, increased equipment uptime, and improved labor utilization. This enhances operational efficiency and productivity, reducing downtime and labor costs.

Engineered for durability and operational efficiency, our premium shrink film rolls are designed to safeguard your products and streamline your packaging processes.
Shrink film rolls are versatile packaging materials that consist of a continuous roll of shrink film, often made from materials such as polyethylene. These rolls are used for wrapping and protecting various products by encapsulating them and then using heat to shrink the film tightly around the contents.
The two main processes of applying shrink film are:
1. Heat Gun/Shrink Wrap Wand: This manual process involves using a heat gun or shrink wrap wand to apply heat directly to the shrink film. The operator manually moves the heat source over the film, causing it to shrink and conform tightly around the product being packaged. This method is often used for smaller-scale operations, irregularly shaped items, or when precision is required.
2. Shrink Wrap Machine/Shrink Tunnel: In industrial settings or for larger-scale operations, shrink film is applied using a shrink wrap machine, which includes a heat tunnel. The product wrapped in shrink film passes through the heat tunnel, where the film is heated uniformly to achieve shrinkage and secure packaging. This method offers automated, consistent, and high-speed shrink wrapping for a wide range of products.
Determining the appropriate shrink film thickness for your products involves considering several key factors:
1. Product Characteristics: Evaluate the size, shape, weight, and fragility of your products. Bulkier or heavier items may require thicker shrink film for added strength and protection, while smaller or lighter items may be adequately packaged with thinner film.
2. Transportation and Handling: Consider the potential stress and impact your products may experience during transportation and handling. Products traveling long distances or undergoing rigorous handling may benefit from thicker shrink film to withstand external pressures.
3. Shrink Equipment: Assess the capabilities of your shrink equipment. Some machinery may be better suited for working with specific film thicknesses, and understanding these limitations can guide your selection.
The potential cost savings associated with using shrink film for packaging include:
1. Raw Material Efficiency: Shrink film typically allows for the use of thinner materials while still providing effective product protection. This reduction in material usage translates to cost savings in raw material procurement.
2. Energy Efficiency: Thinner shrink film requires less energy during the manufacturing process, contributing to reduced operational costs and environmental impact.
3. Reduced Shipping Costs: Shrink film’s lightweight properties can lead to lower shipping costs due to reduced overall package weight, especially when shipping in bulk.
4. Labor Efficiency: Shrink film and the ability to use automated shrink equipment can lead to improved packaging line efficiency, reduced labor hours, and lower packaging-related labor costs.
5. Product Protection: By securely wrapping and protecting products, shrink film minimizes the risk of damages during transit, potentially decreasing losses related to damaged goods.
6. Sustainable Packaging: Shrink film’s potential for material and energy reduction aligns with sustainability initiatives, potentially leading to cost savings associated with eco-friendly and recyclable packaging solutions.
Shrink film is utilized for a wide array of applications across industries, including the packaging and bundling of consumer goods such as electronics, toys, and household products, as well as food items like beverage multipacks, canned goods, and bakery products. It is also employed in the industrial sector for the protection and bundling of components, building materials, and manufactured goods, while finding applications in printing and publishing for the secure packaging of printed materials, magazines, books, and promotional items. Additionally, shrink film is used in pharmaceuticals and healthcare for packaging medical supplies, cosmetics, and toiletries, as well as in logistics and distribution for unitizing and securing palletized loads during transportation and storage.
