At Mann-Pak, Inc., we provide flexible packaging solutions that help your products move efficiently from production to shelf. One of our key services is centerfolding, a process that turns wide rolls of film into more manageable, machine-ready rolls. This process is essential for companies that use automatic packaging equipment and high-speed production lines. Centerfold film is easy to handle, reduces line tension, and makes feeding your packaging machinery smoother.
What is Centerfold Film?
Centerfold film starts as a wide sheet of material, typically polyolefin film, which is folded lengthwise down the middle. This fold creates a roll that is half the original flat width, making it compatible with most packaging machines. For products that require shrink packaging, we offer centerfold shrink film, which combines the benefits of folding with the shrink properties needed for tight, secure packaging. A properly folded roll keeps machines running efficiently and prevents film damage during use.
Polyolefin Film Options
We work with a variety of materials, but polyolefin film is one of the most common choices for centerfolding. It’s strong, clear, and shrinkable, making it perfect for food, beverages, and consumer goods. Centerfold polyolefin provides a consistent thickness and smooth feed for automated packaging lines. Our team can provide custom widths and gauges to match your equipment, helping reduce downtime and wasted material.
Applications for Centerfold Shrink Film
Many industries benefit from centerfold shrink film. In food packaging, it’s ideal for bakery products, snack packs, produce bundles, and beverage multipacks. In industrial or consumer goods, it’s used for bundling and protecting items during shipment. The combination of centerfolding and shrink properties allows the film to wrap tightly around products, improving appearance, reducing waste, and keeping packages secure on shelves or in transit.

Choosing Mann-Pak for your centerfold needs gives you consistent, high-quality results.
