Folmi offers high-quality shrink films, which are indispensable for protecting and packaging products in numerous industries, including the food, chemical, construction, and logistics industries. These films provide excellent protection against mechanical damage, moisture, and dust, and also enable the creation of bulk packaging, facilitating transport and storage.
Production Capabilities
Material: Our shrink films are made from LDPE, HDPE, MDPE, and LDPE regranulate, guaranteeing optimal strength, flexibility, and excellent heat-shrink properties. Furthermore, the use of regranulate reduces environmental impact without compromising product quality.
Film Width: Films are manufactured in widths up to 3000 mm, allowing for full customization to meet packaging machine requirements and customer needs – from smaller individual packages to large bulk packaging films.
Film Length: We offer shrink films in lengths up to 3500 mm, allowing them to be adapted to various packaging machines and production processes, ensuring efficiency and cost savings.
Film Thickness: Available thicknesses range from 20 μm to 300 μm, allowing you to choose the right option depending on the specific product being packaged – from thin films for delicate products to thicker, more durable films for heavier applications.
Additions
To meet all customer requirements and deliver the highest quality products, we offer a wide range of additives:
UV – UV protection prevents film degradation, which is particularly important for products stored outdoors.
Dyes – the ability to color the film, which supports product identification and allows for aesthetic matching to brand visual standards.
Anti-block and slip – an additive that prevents the film from sticking together, ensuring smooth unwinding and streamlining the operation of packaging machines.
ESD – antistatic film protects products from static electricity, which is important for packaging electronics and other sensitive products.
Low-temperature elasticizer – an additive that ensures film flexibility even at low temperatures (down to -29°C), which is crucial for storing frozen or refrigerated products.
Flexo printing – allows for printing of essential information such as logos, instructions for use, and warnings, supporting product identification and brand marketing.
Perforation – perforations that allow for air circulation, which is important for This is important when packaging certain products to prevent condensation and improve ventilation.
Shrink wrap is a material used in many different industries. Thanks to its properties, it effectively protects various types of products not only from damage but also from external factors. As a specialized manufacturer, we offer printed shrink wraps that both protect packaged items and can be a part of your branding strategy.
Shrink wrap – Properties
Shrink wrap, available as a tape or sleeve, is a packaging material that shrinks when exposed to heat. As a result, it adheres perfectly to the packaged product, creating a tight and aesthetically pleasing package. Importantly, shrink wrap is not only resistant to mechanical damage and UV radiation, but also protects against moisture and air ingress. This means that shrink wraps provide protection against damage, contamination, and food spoilage. Therefore, our offer includes not only sleeves for packaging smaller products, but also shrink wrap for large-sized packaging, which can protect them during transport or storage.
How to use shrink wrap?
Shrink wrap is a material that, thanks to its properties and relatively low price, is ideal for a wide variety of industries. It can be used to package not only food products, which gain protection against contamination and moisture, but also books, toys, clothing, furniture, and many other products. In these cases, shrink wrap protects against dirt and scratches, while also providing aesthetically pleasing and airtight packaging.
As a specialized manufacturer of shrink wrap, we offer products for packaging both small items and films designed for large-sized packaging, such as large furniture or various types of machinery and equipment. It's also worth noting that shrink wrap is ideal not only for packaging individual products but also for combining them into packages or multi-packs. As a result, If you want to sell multiple items, it's worth wrapping them in heat-shrinkable film. The manufacturer can then provide packaging that not only protects the products from external factors but also ensures they are properly connected.
Printed Heat-shrinkable Film
Packaging serves not only a protective function but also an aesthetic one. Furthermore, it can be used as an advertising medium or as a part of building your brand strategy, thanks to printing on heat-shrinkable film. As a specialized manufacturer, we offer not only film in various colors but also the option of adding a company logo or slogan. Printed heat-shrinkable film makes the packaging stand out, attracting attention and making it memorable for customers. Furthermore, the packaging can also include information about the product inside, which can be useful, for example, when selling electronics. Importantly, thanks to the use of modern printing techniques, the prints on heat-shrinkable film are clear, abrasion-resistant, and durable. This translates into their visibility and readability, aspects that are key to effective communication with the customer.

Order Fulfillment Process
Order confirmation: Once all the details of the order have been agreed, the customer receives a final quotation for approval. Following its approval, the order is formally accepted for processing.
Print design verification: In the case of an order including a print, the customer receives the final graphic design for approval, which, once approved, is sent for production.
Release for production: Once the order has been confirmed and payment verified, the order details go to the production department, which begins the process of planning and execution.
Production of LDPE plastic: LDPE plastic is produced using an extrusion process. LDPE granulate is heated to a high temperature and passed through an extrusion head to produce a long, thin layer of plastic.
Plastic forming: Plastic may be formed in a number of manners as per the order – it may vary in transparency, coloured, thicknesses to match the customer’s specifications.
Preparation for printing: If the order is for printed bags, the production of plastic is followed by the process of flexographic printing. Matrices (printing forms) are prepared as per the customer-approved design.
Printing on plastic: the LDPE plastic is passed through flexographic machines, which apply the print as per the design. This technique allows designs to be printed quickly and precisely in a range of colours.
Cutting and forming of bags: After printing (or without printing), the LDPE plastic is confectioned, i.e. cut and formed into bags as per the dimensions agreed in the order.
Additional elements: At this stage elements such as handles, perforations may be added, depending on the order specifications.
Product packaging: The finished bags are carefully packed in larger packaging such as cardboard boxes or bulk bags to secure them from damage during transport.
Etykietowanie: Każda partia zamówienia otrzymuje odpowiednie oznaczenia i etykiety, które zawierają informacje o produkcie. Dodatkowo dołączane są dokumenty przewozowe i magazynowe.
Transport set-up: The order is forwarded to a courier company. The customer receives a tracking number and information on the expected delivery time.
Shipment tracking: The customer may track the consignment using a tracking system, which allows them to monitor where their order is at any given time.
