Xiamen Yuhong Plastic Products Co., Ltd. has produced flexible packaging films since 2008. The 3,000 m² facility in Xiamen operates extrusion, slitting, winding, and inspection equipment under a documented quality management system. Products are supplied to customers in China, Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
POF shrink films are used where clear product display, stable sealing, and attractive appearance are required. Common product types include Crosslinked POF Shrink Film and Single Wound POF Shrink Film. These films are applied in food, consumer goods, printed materials, and industrial packaging.
Production stages include extrusion, precise slitting, winding, and final inspection. Each batch is tested internally for tensile strength, elongation, puncture resistance, sealing performance, and surface appearance.
When selecting a shrink film, buyers often compare POF with PVC and PE materials. Each has different properties, but POF is often selected for applications that require higher clarity, softer feel, and better adaptability to irregular shapes.
POF film offers high transparency with low haze. This allows packaged products to remain visually clear, which is useful for retail packaging where product appearance influences purchase decisions.
Compared with some PVC films, POF tends to show less yellowing over time and maintains better optical clarity after shrinking.
POF film has a soft, flexible structure. It can wrap products with curved or irregular surfaces without excessive stress concentration, reducing the risk of film cracking during handling.
PE shrink film is often used for heavier or industrial loads, while POF is more common for lighter, display-oriented packaging.
POF shrink films are used for food multipacks, beverage bundles, printed materials, household goods, cosmetics, stationery, and retail sets. The film can run on automatic shrink packaging lines as well as semi-automatic equipment.
POF is generally considered a more environmentally considered option than PVC in many packaging applications. It does not contain chlorine and produces less corrosive by-products during incineration.

Consistent film thickness is necessary for stable shrink behaviour and seal strength. Online thickness monitoring is used during production to control variation.
Sufficient tensile strength prevents film breakage during packaging, while controlled elongation allows the film to conform to product shapes without tearing. Both properties are checked by internal testing equipment.
Even shrink performance in both machine and transverse directions helps achieve a smooth, tight package surface without wrinkles or distortion.
Reliable sealing is required to keep the package closed during storage and transport. Seal strength is tested on finished film samples as part of batch inspection.
Quality inspection includes checks for transparency, surface defects, visible impurities, and colour consistency. Clean, clear film contributes to better product presentation.
POF shrink film is used for multipacks of snacks, beverages, frozen food, bakery products, and gift sets. The high clarity allows the product to be seen clearly while providing a protective outer layer.
Household products, personal care items, stationery, and small electronic accessories are often packed with POF film to create a clean, professional appearance.
Books, magazines, brochures, and promotional kits are wrapped to stay clean and organized during storage and transportation.
Some manufacturers use POF film for secondary packaging and product grouping. It can secure multiple items together and simplify warehouse handling.
For export orders, material compliance documentation is often required. Yuhong maintains the following certificates and reports:
Additional compliance documents can be provided according to the destination market and product application.
Yuhong has produced flexible packaging films since 2008. The company's experience covers POF shrink film, stretch film, and other packaging films.
The production workshop includes blown film extrusion lines, automatic winding machines, precision slitting machines, online thickness control systems, and quality inspection equipment.
Incoming material inspection, in-process monitoring, finished product testing, and pre-shipment inspection are documented and applied to each order.
Film width, thickness, roll length, core size, and surface treatment can be customized. Export documentation and logistics coordination are supported by the company's foreign trade team.
Crosslinked POF film has higher shrink force and better seal strength at elevated temperatures. It is commonly used for products that require tighter packaging or higher shrink consistency. Non-crosslinked POF is suitable for general applications where standard shrink performance is sufficient.
Yes. POF film runs on most automatic shrink packaging systems. The specific film grade and roll dimensions should be confirmed according to the machine type and speed.
A general reference is 12–15 μm for light products and 19–30 μm for heavier or sharper items. The final choice also depends on the product dimensions, sealing method, and transportation conditions.
Sample rolls are available. The customer covers the courier cost, which can be deducted from the first formal order.
Yes. Custom printing is available for logos, product information, or handling instructions. Minimum order quantities apply.
Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, and compliance documents such as RoHS or REACH can be provided depending on the destination market and product requirements.
Yuhong operates its own production facility in Xiamen, China. All POF shrink film production is carried out in-house, and international sales are managed by a dedicated foreign trade subsidiary.
