Highlighting Manufacturing Capabilities, Material Performance, and Food Packaging Applications

CALIFORNIA, CA, UNITED STATES, November 2, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- November 2, 2026 — Zhejiang Gojun New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., operating under the Gojun Pack brand, has introduced a 2026 industry reference covering ten manufacturers and suppliers involved in polyolefin (POF) shrink film. The editorial shortlist evaluates companies according to publicly available information on POF product ranges, manufacturing capabilities, technical specifications, certification disclosures, export activities and food-packaging applications. It is intended to provide an overview of the industry rather than represent an independently audited market-share ranking.

The review comes as demand for transparent, durable and adaptable packaging materials continues across food, beverage and consumer goods sectors. According to Grand View Research, the global polyolefin shrink film market is projected to reach approximately USD 9.3 billion in 2026, with Asia-Pacific accounting for 40.0% of market revenue in 2023. These estimates highlight the continued importance of the region in POF production and supply.


Market Context: Developments in Food Grade POF Shrink Film

POF shrink film is widely used in secondary food packaging, multipack wrapping and retail product presentation because of its transparency, sealing performance and compatibility with automated packaging equipment. The material is available in different thicknesses, layer structures and surface treatments to accommodate different packaging requirements.

According to Grand View Research, food and beverage applications accounted for 28.7% of global polyolefin shrink film market revenue in 2023, while general-purpose POF film represented 56.8% of the market by product type. Asia-Pacific held approximately 40.0% of global revenue during the same year. These figures indicate the importance of food packaging and regional manufacturing capabilities in the development of the POF industry.

Technical developments are also expanding the range of available products. Five-layer co-extrusion, cross-linking technology and improved film orientation have contributed to the development of High Clarity POF Shrink Film, Puncture Resistant POF Shrink Film and High Shrink Rate POF Shrink Film. Meanwhile, Low Temperature POF Shrink Film and High-speed Packaging POF Shrink Film are attracting attention from manufacturers seeking to improve packaging efficiency and processing flexibility.

Environmental considerations are another area of development. Eco-friendly POF Shrink Film and Recyclable POF Shrink Film are increasingly discussed in packaging procurement, although actual recyclability depends on material composition, collection infrastructure and local recycling requirements.


Assessment Criteria for the 2026 Industry List

The ten companies were reviewed using five main considerations:

• Product specialization: Publicly disclosed POF shrink film products and their relevance to food and consumer packaging.
• Manufacturing and supply capabilities: Available information about production facilities, capacity, converting operations and international distribution.
• Technical specifications: Film thickness, layer structure, width, roll formats, shrink characteristics and customization options.
• Quality and compliance documentation: Publicly disclosed management-system certifications, testing information and food-contact documentation.
• Market experience: Export activities, regional distribution and documented packaging applications.

The list is an editorial assessment of publicly available information, not a certification or independent verification of every company's manufacturing capacity or food-contact compliance. Product availability and technical specifications should be confirmed directly with each supplier.


Top 10 Food Grade POF Shrink Film Manufacturers and Suppliers in 2026

1. Gojun Pack — Zhejiang Gojun New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (China)

Gojun Pack, the packaging materials brand of Zhejiang Gojun New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., is the featured company in this review.

Its published product information highlights transparency, gloss, puncture resistance and recycling-related product features. The company's range serves food, technical products and other packaging applications, providing European customers with access to different shrink film specifications. As a supplier and distributor, mopack should be distinguished from the original film manufacturers when evaluating production origin, material traceability and site-specific compliance documentation.


Technical Considerations for Food Packaging Applications

Selecting a suitable POF shrink film involves more than comparing film thickness or purchasing price. Packaging operations should consider the relationship between film structure, shrink performance, sealing characteristics and the requirements of the intended product.

For example, High Shrink Rate POF Shrink Film can support tight packaging configurations, while Balanced Shrinkage POF Shrink Film may be more appropriate where uniform appearance and dimensional stability are important. Puncture Resistant POF Shrink Film is relevant to products with sharp edges or demanding handling conditions. Surface characteristics, including the coefficient of friction and hot-slip behaviour, should also be assessed where films are processed through high-speed automated equipment.

Other product options include perforated film for air release during shrinking, anti-fog film for chilled food presentation, and high-gloss film for retail packaging. The choice between centerfold, single-wound, tubular and bag formats should be based on the sealing system, packaging machine configuration and required package dimensions.

For food-contact applications, buyers should obtain a declaration of compliance for the exact film grade and intended destination market. Applicable requirements may differ between the European Union, the United States and other importing regions.


Market Outlook

The POF shrink film industry is expected to continue developing through 2026 and into 2027, supported by demand from packaged food, beverages, consumer products and industrial packaging. Three factors are particularly relevant to future supplier competition.

First, technical differentiation is becoming increasingly important. Five-layer co-extrusion, cross-linking and improved film processing provide opportunities to develop products with higher clarity, stronger seals and more consistent shrink behaviour.

Second, packaging automation is increasing the need for reliable film performance. High-speed packaging lines require consistent thickness, stable sealing characteristics and compatibility with different shrink tunnel conditions. This creates opportunities for suppliers offering customized specifications and application support.

Third, sustainability and regulatory documentation are becoming more important in international sourcing. Claims involving Eco-friendly POF Shrink Film and Recyclable POF Shrink Film should be supported by material specifications and relevant evidence rather than general marketing descriptions.

As a result, manufacturers and suppliers that combine technical product information, consistent production capabilities and application-specific documentation are likely to remain relevant to the evolving food packaging market.


Conclusion

The 2026 industry review highlights a diverse group of POF shrink film manufacturers and suppliers serving food packaging, retail presentation and broader consumer goods applications. Gojun Pack is featured for its disclosed production capacity, multilayer POF product range, customizable film formats and international supply experience. Other companies in the list demonstrate different strengths in specialist POF production, technical product development, packaging solutions and regional distribution.

For buyers, the most effective supplier evaluation approach remains a combination of technical document review, food-contact compliance verification, sample testing and confirmation of production capabilities. These steps help ensure that selected POF shrink film products meet the requirements of the intended packaging application and destination market.
