Layflat shrinkwrap, folded or gusseted: ideal for packaging any product, from the smallest to the largest

How do you choose the right shrink film format to maximize efficiency?

Layflat shrinkwrap is a flexible, high-performance, and versatile packaging solution used across a wide range of industrial applications. This film, typically made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), comes in the form of a continuous, seamless roll, available in various widths and lengths, and wound onto a tubular core.

We refer to folded layflat shrinkwrap when a single central fold is made before winding. This configuration creates a front and back layer—hence the term “folded.” This type of layflat shrinkwrap is ideal for primary or secondary packaging of small to medium-sized products, especially when using packing tables. It provides excellent stability, ease of use, and a clean, professional presentation of the packaged items.

Endless applications
with layflat shrinkwrap

The possibilities offered by layflat shrinkwrap are vast. For heavy-duty industrial use, very wide films are folded multiple times (up to 8 or 10 folds) before being wound, reducing the roll width and making handling easier. This process allows for a manageable roll while maintaining a large deployed surface, ideal for packaging bulky loads.

A good understanding of the folding method — specific to each extruder — is essential for ensuring quick and efficient deployment on-site. Layflat shrinkwrap is used for packaging standard items (such as boxes, mechanical parts, or furniture) as well as oversized structures like vehicles, industrial machinery, or even temporary buildings. Extra-wide films can reach up to 15 meters in width and are joined together using thermal welding to cover extremely large areas.

A high-performance protective solution

Layflat shrinkwrap offers excellent mechanical strength, effective weather protection, and long-term durability. It suits both logistics needs and outdoor storage, all while ensuring secure, clean, and efficient wrapping. Its versatility makes it an essential solution for demanding professionals seeking reliable and adaptable packaging.
