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 of polyethylene (PE), polyolefin (PO) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). We offer high-quality shrink films that have been specially developed for use in the Stepstar overshoe machine. With this solution, you can ensure clean floors in hygiene-sensitive areas without your guests or employees having to struggle with the cumbersome process of putting on overshoes.

Instructions for using shrink film in the overshoe machine
With the Stepstar Comfort overshoe machine, you can use shrink film efficiently and without great 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 with your normal street shoe onto the marked area.
3. Automatic wrapping: The machine cuts the film to size, heats it and wraps it tightly around the shoe.
4. Secure fit: After a few seconds, the shrink film is perfectly adapted to the shoe and reliably protects the floor.
With this process, you ensure the highest hygiene standards without losing time 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 developed so that it safely adapts to the shoe at the optimal temperature. This keeps the film flexible enough for comfortable walking, yet stable enough to provide a firm hold.
Which plastic is suitable for shrink film?
Depending on the intended use, 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 that is ideally suited for hygienic protective measures and is also durable.
