Upgrade your packaging with POF shrink wrap bags — a crystal-clear, food-safe, odourless solution ideal for soap, bath bombs, candles, bakery goods and retail gift sets. Polyolefin (POF) delivers a strong seal, glossy finish and professional shelf appeal without the brittleness or fumes associated with PVC. Available in flat or micro-perforated options for products that need to “breathe.”

Why choose POF over PVC or cellophane?

• Food-safe & low odour: Suitable for food contact (check local regulations) and perfect for artisan products.

• Superior clarity & gloss: Enhances product colour and branding for better conversion rates.

• Tough yet flexible: Resists tearing and won’t become brittle in cooler weather.

• Cleaner shrinking: Low shrink temperature with minimal smoke when used correctly.

• Optional micro-perforations: Helps prevent sweating/condensation in soap and bath bomb packaging.

FAQs

Is POF food-safe? Yes, polyolefin films are widely used for food packaging. Always confirm compliance for your specific application.
Do I need micro-perforated bags for soap/bath bombs? Recommended—perfs let moisture and gases escape, helping prevent sweating and oil spotting.
Can I use a hair dryer? No—use a heat gun for consistent shrink and a professional finish.
Is POF recyclable? Check your local soft-plastics options; availability varies by council in Australia.

How to use:

1. You will need to purchase a heat gun from any hardware store to use this product.  We suggest you start on the lowest heat temperature until you get the hang of it.

2. You will need to purchase an Impulse Heat Sealer to seal your bag before shrink wrapping.  You can find these on Ebay, Amazon or at any professional packaging company. 

3. We recommend you wear cotton gloves to protect the hands while shrinking.
