WHAT ARE PLASTIC FILMS?
PLASTIC FILM is a thin sheet of material with a thickness less than 2.5mm/10 mils/1000 gauge, averaging between 0.7 mils to 1.5 mils. It is (usually plastic and transparent) used as a packaging medium to cover or wrap things. A mil is 0.00l inch.

- Cast film is by far the most popular type of stretch wrap in use, and offers superior adhesion.
- Blown film is recommended for use in low temperature environments, for example deep freeze storage.
- Security film is an opaque black, which disguises the contents of your packs and so helps prevent theft.
Shrink Film
Shrinkfilm is extruded using very specific polymers, and when there is a shortage of raw material they are always the hardest to source and therefore subject to the most severe price increases and sometimes a complete lack of product.
A general purpose shrink film, the polyethylene shrink film is well known for its versatile nature. It can also withstand bad climatic conditions. So it is used to wrap large items such as boats and cars during the winter. Polyethylene shrink films mostly come with UVI protection to avoid damages caused by ultraviolet rays. EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) is added with polyethylene shrink films to keep them soft and flexible in winter. This heavy duty shrink film is available in eye-catching colors and attractive prints.
Layflat
Layflat polythene tubing is ideal for use with a heat sealer to create your own polythene protection for items that would not fit in a standard polythene bag.
It is especially useful for packing particularly long items and components.
Layflat Tubing also offered as:
- Antistatic Polythene Tubing
