Bolphane BX film is Bollore’s most economical multipurpose shrink film. This multi-layer
Bolphane®
polyolefin film has high shrink force and excellent stiffness and flatness. These properties,
combined with wide seal and shrink temperature ranges, make BX ideal for high speed and
multi-packing applications. BX is available in 50, 60, 75, and 100 gauges in both singlewound
and centerfold rolls.
MULTIPACKS
Bolphane BY film is a high performance shrink film. The 5-layer polyolefin film seals quickly and has a high degree of

BY film performs well on irregularly shaped packages wrapped on a wide range of equipment and is ideal for retail
presentation. BY is available in 50, 60, 75, and 100 gauges in both singlewound and centerfold rolls.
