KLIEN PACKAGING GUIDE
How to Use PVC Heat Shrink Film: Roll & Bag Size Guide
Buying PVC heat shrink film for product boxes or gift packs starts with three choices: the film format, the width and the quantity. This guide explains how KLIEN’s weight-based rolls, fixed-length combo packs and ready-cut shrink bags differ, and how to prepare a sample pack before ordering a larger quantity.
Choose a single roll, combo pack or shrink bags
| Option | How it is supplied | When to compare it |
|---|---|---|
| PVC heat shrink film single roll | One unit = 1 kg of one selected width. Choose 1–10 kg per size. | You need one width and want to cut film to suit different items. |
| PVC shrink roll combo | Four widths, with 10 metres on each roll; 40 metres in total. | You need several widths in smaller, fixed lengths. Check each combo’s exact widths. |
| PVC shrink bags | Ready-cut bags in six sizes, sold by weight. | You repeatedly wrap items that fit a selected bag size. |
How to choose PVC shrink film width
Measure the item’s length, width and depth, then allow additional film for wrapping and sealing. The width shown on a roll or flat bag is not the maximum box width it can accommodate. Film format, item shape and the sealing method all affect the fit.
KLIEN single rolls offer 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22 and 24 inch widths. The product selector shows inches and millimetres together. Common examples are 8 inches = 203.2 mm, 10 inches = 254 mm, 12 inches = 304.8 mm and 24 inches = 609.6 mm.
If you are unsure, send KLIEN your item dimensions and intended packing method before choosing. Test the selected film on a sample item.
Price per kg and roll length: what you are buying
On the single-roll product page, quantity 1 means 1 kg of the selected width. The displayed product price applies to that unit. Quantity 2 means 2 kg. Check the selected width, quantity and final cart total before paying.
A kilogram is a weight measurement, not a fixed length. Film width and thickness affect how many metres a roll contains. Choose a combo listing if you specifically need the stated 10-metre rolls. Shrink bags sold by kilogram also do not have a guaranteed piece count; bag dimensions and film weight affect the count.
How to use PVC heat shrink wrap
- Check compatibility. Confirm the film is suitable for your item and chosen sealing and heat equipment.
- Prepare a sample. Select the width or bag size, cut the required film and leave enough room for sealing.
- Seal as required. Use sealing equipment appropriate to the film format. A heat gun applies heat and does not replace a suitable sealer.
- Apply controlled heat. Follow the film and equipment instructions. Move the heat evenly instead of holding it on one point. There is no single temperature setting suitable for every film and item.
- Cool and inspect. Check the wrap, seams and product after cooling before repeating the process across a batch.
Heat and sealing equipment are separate from the film. Compare the MAKSON 1800W heat gun listing for its specifications and instructions.
Is shrink wrap the same as stretch wrap?
No. Heat shrink film contracts when suitable heat is applied. Stretch wrap is stretched around a load. Choose the material for your packing method rather than treating the names as interchangeable.
