Shrink Film

What is shrink film?

Shrink film is a special plastic film that contracts when exposed to heat and tightly wraps around an object. This creates a stable, protective covering that prevents the penetration of dirt, dust or moisture. Depending on the intended use, shrink films are made from polyethylene (PE), polyolefin (PO) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

We offer high-quality shrink films specifically developed for use in the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine. With this solution, you can ensure clean floors in hygiene-sensitive areas without requiring guests or employees to struggle with manually putting on overshoes.

What are the applications of shrink film?

Shrink films are versatile and used in numerous industries.

• Packaging industry: Secure and transparent packaging solutions for products of all kinds
• Food industry: Protective packaging that keeps food fresh and hygienic
• Logistics and transport: Securing pallet loads for stable shipping
• Medical and cleanroom environments: Prevents the introduction of germs via shoe soles
• Gastronomy and hospitality: Protection of carpets and floors from contamination by tradespeople wearing outdoor shoes

With shrink film for the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine, we provide a hygienic solution particularly used in clinics, laboratories or food production facilities.

Instructions for using shrink film in the overshoe machine

With the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine, shrink film can be used efficiently and with minimal effort. Here is how it works:

1. Prepare the machine: Insert the shrink film into the designated holder.
2. Place the shoe in the machine: Simply step onto the marked area wearing your regular street shoes.
3. Automatic wrapping: The machine cuts the film to size, heats it and tightly wraps it around the shoe.
4. Secure fit: After a few seconds, the shrink film is perfectly adapted to the shoe and reliably protects the floor.

This process ensures the highest hygiene standards without losing time on manually putting on shoe covers.

At what temperature does shrink film shrink?

Depending on the material, the film shrinks at different temperatures:

• Polyolefin (PO): 120 - 160 °C
• Polyethylene (PE): 100 - 140 °C
• PVC: 110 - 130 °C

Our shrink film for the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine is designed to adapt safely to the shoe at the optimal temperature. This keeps the film flexible enough for comfortable walking while being stable enough to provide a secure hold.

Which plastic is suitable for shrink film?

Depending on the application, different plastics are suitable for shrink film.

• Polyolefin (PO): Particularly tear-resistant, durable and suitable for hygienic applications
• Polyethylene (PE): Flexible and soft, ideal for larger packaging and pallet securing
• Polyvinyl chloride (PVC): High transparency, but less environmentally friendly than other materials

For our overshoe machines, we use high-quality PVC shrink film, which is optimally suited for hygienic protective measures while remaining durable.

Shrink film for shoes

With the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine and the appropriate shrink film, we offer a simple way to quickly and efficiently cover shoe soles with protective film.
