Independent packaging sourcing
pvc shrink film
Pvc Shrink Film Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We help US packaging buyers write one film family, gauge, shrink ratio, roll unit and destination so factories can return wholesale quotes on the same line. We do not extrude film, hold warehouse stock, or sell under a brand appointment.

Material
PVC, polyolefin or polyethylene film. Post-consumer recycled content is a lot file, not a resin name on this page.
Size
Gauge in mil or μm, plus web width, roll outer diameter and core inside diameter.
Color count, flexographic printing or gravure printing, and whether artwork is frozen.
Quantity
Order unit in rolls, meters or pieces, plus the US state or postal code used for freight.
Two constructions that should not share one quote line
The measured product form that starts this procurement brief is pvc shrink film for business wrapping, not a retail gift-wrap listing and not a corrugated shipper. ISO ICS 55.020 supplies unit vocabulary for packaging; it is not a certificate held by this desk. Packhelp quote and wholesale pages accessed 2026-09-15 show a brief-first path only. Ahrefs US matching-term observations dated 2026-09-10 and 2026-09-20 inform page intent, not a ranking. Edge crush test and burst strength belong on a corrugated shipper RFQ, not on this film line.
| Field to keep separate | PVC centerfold overwrap | Printed PVC sleeve |
|---|---|---|
| Film | Named PVC gauge, typically 15-25 μm when that is the intended wrap | Named PVC or polyolefin sleeve gauge; shrink ratio TD/MD written beside it |
| Print path | Unprinted clarity wrap, or 1-2 color flexographic printing for a lot mark | 4-6 color flexographic printing or gravure printing on a frozen sleeve artwork |
| Documents | Sample roll and rewind specification on the same web width | Migration testing on the named ink and film lot if the wrap contacts food |
| Extras | Core, pallet wrap and freight listed beside roll price | Plates, cylinders and sleeve seaming listed on their own rows |
A 20-roll production lot and a 2-roll tunnel trial are different commercial objects. Name film thickness in the 15-25 μm range when that is the intended PVC wrap. Those figures are fields to complete, not ratings this desk publishes. Review inquiry options after the line is written, then send the brief.
Where US buyers usually put this film to work
These four packing scenes change destination, shrink ratio and print, not the identity of this independent sourcing partner. Each scene still needs fill, quantity unit and documents before a factory can quote.
