POF Heat Shrink Film (Half-Sleeve) - 250 mm × 12 µm | 1550 m | Transparent Polyolefin heat shrink film (POF) in a half-sleeve (centerfold, CF) roll designed for aesthetic and safe individual packaging and multipacks. It provides very high gloss, excellent transparency, stable shrinkage, and a strong seal - ideal for on-shelf display and e-commerce sets. The material is 100% recyclable and - for the correct batch - compliant with (EC) 1935/2004 and (EU) 10/2011 regarding food contact. Variant parameters Half-sleeve width: 250 mm Thickness: 12 µm Reel length: 1550 m Color: transparent Core: Ø 76 mm (3") Roll diameter: approx. 245 mm Technical specifications (POF CF series) Structure: polyolefin, multilayer, biaxially oriented (POF) Density: 0.92 g/cm³ Gloss (45°): ~96–98.5% Haze: ~2.1–3.0% Tensile strength (MPa): MD ~105–112 / TD ~98–111 Elongation at break: ~98–105% Coefficient of friction (COF): stat./dyn. ~0.20–0.24 / 0.18–0.23 Sealing time (200 °C): 0.3–0.6 s (increases with thickness) Shrinkage characteristics (MD/TD) TemperatureMDTD 100°C~23–24%~30–32% 110°C~43–45%~51–59% 120°C~53–54%~58–59% 130°C~66–68%~69–70% Applications Food (depending on batch declaration): bread, confectionery, fruit/vegetables, ready-to-eat products. Cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, supplements – individual packaging and multipacks. Books, games, boxes, e-commerce – high gloss and shelf presentation. Selection Thickness 12 µm – light products, fast lines, highest clarity. 15 µm – universal choice for most retail applications. 19 µm – greater puncture and tear resistance. 25 µm – heavier/sharp-edged packaging, maximum protection. Compatible Machines Angle sealers (L-bar), bellows packaging machines and shrink tunnels. Wide process window for easy setup. Process and Health and Safety Guidelines Starting: thinner films (12–15 µm) – lower temperature/higher blowing; Thicker (19–25 µm) – longer time/lower temperature. Warm or degassing products – use microperforation and pack after acclimating to room temperature. Store at -5°C to +30°C, ~80% RH; after cooling, allow the film to acclimatize for 48 hours before use. Compared to PVC, POF does not release HCl, but ensure good ventilation of the sealing zone/tunnel. POF vs PVC – short POF: high gloss, clean sealing, environmentally friendly, wide range of food applications. PVC: usually cheaper, but less environmentally preferable and requiring better ventilation during welding. Note: Food contact requires a Declaration of Conformity for the specific batch. We will provide documents if necessary.
