Bsc Preferred SH8100 Polyolefin Shrink Film

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED SH8100 is a center-folded, multi-layer, biaxially oriented polyolefin shrink film designed for packaging operations that demand consistent results across manual, semi-automatic, and automatic sealing equipment. The film requires no dwell time, which reduces cycle time and simplifies setup. Its high-gloss finish and excellent clarity allow product labels and branding to remain fully visible through the wrap. Puncture resistance makes it suitable for irregularly shaped items that would stress a thinner or less flexible film. Packaging professionals, fulfillment teams, and light industrial operations are the primary installers and users.

The SH8100 is appropriate for a wide range of packaging environments, including cold storage applications where film flexibility at low temperatures is critical. It meets FDA requirements for direct food contact, making it viable for food packaging lines. The film has also been approved for mailings by the U.S. Postal Service, extending its use to direct-mail and retail distribution applications. Heat guns are compatible for hand-wrapping or touch-up work outside of tunnel equipment.

Installation Notes

Packaging technicians should verify that sealing equipment temperature settings are appropriate for polyolefin film before running production. When using a heat tunnel, confirm conveyor speed and tunnel temperature are calibrated before introducing product to avoid over-shrink or film failure. For heat gun application, maintain consistent distance from the film surface to achieve an even shrink without scorching. Always handle film rolls with clean, dry hands or gloves to preserve clarity and prevent contamination on food-contact lines.
