Shrink wrap and shrink sleeves tighten around a product when heated, giving a sealed, tamper-evident look. Stretch film is stretched by hand or machine to bundle cartons and pallets with no heat. Cling film is for wrapping food. DGM Poly Packs, a packaging and shrink wrap supplier in Madurai, stocks shrink sleeves, stretch film and cling film.
The four films in plain words
| Film | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Shrink wrap | Plastic film that shrinks tight around the product when heat is applied | Boxes, bundles, bottles, gift packs, tamper-evident seals |
| Shrink sleeves | Ready-made tube that slides over a bottle, jar or cap and shrinks with heat | Bottle seals, branding, tamper evidence on jars and caps |
| Stretch film | Stretchy film wrapped by hand or machine, no heat needed | Bundling cartons, pallets, furniture, moving and storage |
| Cling film | Thin, self-clinging film for food | Covering bowls, wrapping food in kitchens and shops |
Shrink wrap vs stretch film: the key difference
Shrink wrap needs heat (a heat gun or tunnel) to tighten. It gives a neat, sealed finish on small and medium products. Stretch film needs no heat. It holds a load together by tension, so it is the everyday choice for dispatch rooms, warehouses and anyone moving cartons.
When to choose shrink sleeves
Shrink sleeves are popular with juice, oil, sauce and pickle sellers, and with home businesses who want a tamper-evident seal around a bottle neck or a jar lid. They also let a small brand add a printed look without a full label.
Choosing stretch film for dispatch
- Width: narrow hand rolls suit small parcels, wider rolls suit cartons and pallets.
- Core and roll length: longer rolls mean fewer changes during busy dispatch.
- Clear vs tinted: clear lets you see the load and scan labels.
