Shrink wrap is a film that is applied loosely around products, then sealed and shrunk by heating to take the shape of the contained products. It can be used to bind multiple packages, or to secure an entire pallet of packages, to bundle magazines and papers, to protect and display albums, CDs and so on. It is usually made of LLDPE, LDPE or polypropylene. 

Another problem in the packaging of oral liquids is lack of cleanliness of the containers before filling. Fibers and even insects often appear as debris in containers, particularly in the plastic containers used for many of these products. Many manufacturers receive containers shrink-wrapped in plastic to minimize contamination from fiberboard cartons, and many manufacturers use compressed air to clean the containers. Vapors, such as oil vapors, from the compressed air have occasionally been found to present problems, and it is a good practice to use compressed gas from oil-free compressors.
