Shrink film is made from thin polyolefin plastic. Instead of wrapping many layers of material, a layer of shrink film is placed around an object and then heated to a specific temperature, the material will shrink uniformly according to shape. of the wrapped object, shrink film is now often applied to heat shrink machines or heat guns.
