Shrink Wrap and Label
Custom printed shrink film for bundling and 360 degree bottle labels, made to your measurements and printed up to 8 colours. Plastik Malaysia has supplied flexible packaging to Malaysian businesses since 2015.
Shrink wrap and shrink label are two different products that both use heat-shrink film, which is why buyers often search for one and mean the other. Plastik Malaysia supplies both, along with the rest of our flexible packaging range, so you can cover a bundling job and a labelling job in the same quote instead of splitting the order across two specialist suppliers.
The two products solve different problems and are not interchangeable.
| Shrink wrap | A loose film that bundles multiple items, cartons or a pallet together for transit and shelf-ready multipacks. It protects and unitizes rather than displays a design. |
|---|---|
| Shrink label or sleeve | A printed film shaped to fit a bottle, jar or tin, which shrinks tightly around the container at 360 degrees when heat is applied. It carries the product branding, not just protection. |
Shrink wrap is a plastic film that tightens around whatever it covers when heat is applied. It is most commonly used to bundle multiple units into a multipack, secure a pallet load for transit, or wrap a single product for tamper-evidence and shelf presentation. The film starts loose and only takes its final tight shape after passing through heat, which is what separates it from a bag or a pouch that is already sized before it is sealed.
| Thickness | 60 to 150 microns |
|---|---|
| Size | Made to the circumference and height of your container |
| Printing | Up to 8 colours, 360 degrees around the label |
| Order size | Orders start from 5,000 pieces, actual figure confirmed in the quote |
| Production time | 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment |
PVC is the material most buyers search for and expect in this category. Tell us if you specifically need PVC or are open to other heat-shrink film materials, and we will confirm what applies to your job in the quote.
Shrink wrap thickness and film format are matched to what you are bundling rather than sold from a fixed chart. A single retail multipack needs a lighter film than a full pallet load. Tell us what you are wrapping, roughly how many units per bundle, and whether it is for retail shelf or transit only, and we will confirm the right film and quantity in your quote.
Beverage, sauce and cosmetics brands order shrink labels to carry branding around a bottle or jar without the cost of a custom-moulded container. Distributors, warehouses and manufacturers order shrink wrap to bundle multipacks for retail or secure pallets for transit. Some businesses order both, using labels for the product itself and wrap for how it ships.
| 1. Send your specification | Wrap or label, container or bundle size, and quantity. If you are not certain yet, send what you have and we will fill the gaps. |
|---|---|
| 2. Receive a quote | Pricing and lead time confirmed against your specification. |
| 3. Confirm artwork | Your print file checked against the finish and film before production starts. |
| 4. Production | 4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment through to delivery. |
That is a good position, and it does not need to change. What changes is convenience: if you also buy any other flexible packaging from us, a shrink label can move onto the same quote and the same delivery, rather than sitting with a separate supplier for one product line.
If the film needs to carry your branding on the product itself, it is a label. If it only needs to hold multiple items together for shipping or shelf display, it is wrap. Send us a photo of what you are packing and we will confirm which one applies.
That figure is a starting point, not a promise for every product. The most direct way to reduce the commitment is to settle on one container size or one bundle format first, so the same specification covers more of your range.
No. Plastik Malaysia is a shrink wrap and shrink label supplier in Malaysia, not a manufacturer, and we do not own a factory. We specify the job, control the artwork and print process, manage production and deliver to you. What that means in practice is that you get one accountable point of contact for the specification, the printing and the delivery date, and you are not the one chasing a production floor.
Shrink wrap bundles multiple items or secures a pallet for transit, and does not usually carry branding. A shrink label or sleeve is printed and shaped to fit a single container, and carries the product branding around 360 degrees.

Yes, up to 8 colours on both. Shrink labels are commonly printed 360 degrees around the container, while shrink wrap printing is usually simpler, covering the visible face of the bundle.
Orders start from 5,000 pieces. That is a floor, not a fixed figure. The actual minimum varies by film type and format, so the number that applies to your job is confirmed in your quote.
4 to 6 weeks from artwork approval and deposit payment, regardless of order size. Sending your artwork and confirming the deposit early is the only lever you have over when that clock starts.
Send it through the quote request form, or message us directly on WhatsApp 017-604 8406. A photo of the product or bundle and the size you need is enough to start.
