Shrink Films Procurement Intelligence

The shrink films category is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2023 to 2030.

Three primary types of films are used in shrink wrapping or packaging: polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyolefin (POF), and polyethylene (PE).  Shrink films can be converted into bags, flattened roll stock, overwrap, tubing, and banding. Shrink films can also be segregated into centerfold and single-wound films. These are mainly made from POFs and PE. PVC shrink films are extensively used for non-food goods such as CD and DVD packaging, game and software boxes, and other packaging. This is because PVC is banned in many countries due to its chemical composition and the hazardous byproducts that are generated during its synthesis and decay. Hence, companies such as Walmart take extra precautions and ensure the highest standards for use and disposal when certain manufacturers use this chemical in their packaging.

Shrink Films Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Some of the key cost components associated with the category include raw materials, energy and equipment, labor, facilities and storage, transportation, and others. Other costs can include marketing, repairs, utilities and administrative expenses, tax, etc. The key raw materials for films include POF, PE, or PVC. POFs fall under the thermoplastics family and hence can utilize multiple raw materials such as ethylene, and propylene. These are again obtained from oil and natural gas. As a result, fluctuations in the prices of the raw material can have a significant impact on the cost of shrink film. For instance, price increases in the resin markets at the end of 2021 caused shrink wraps and film prices to increase by 8 - 12%. In the European region, the majority of polymers followed the increases in monomer prices, and polyolefin prices continued to grow in October 2023. Propylene C3 increased by EUR 60/ MT, while ethylene C2 increased by EUR 65 / MT.

The total cost is also impacted by certain variables such as the width and thickness of the film, package height, type of material used, etc. In addition to the unique formulations of the films, there is an increased cost when companies want printed designs. Printed shrink wraps/films are considered a premium option with branding, typography, logo, and graphic dynamics. It is more expensive than transparent or clear films. For instance, clear centerfold shrink films can cost on average between USD 100 - 250. Prices can vary based on roll orders. The cost of a printed pallet wrap order can easily range between USD 5,500 - 6,000, assuming the minimum order is 40 rolls (for machine pallet wrap).
