- 1收縮膜；熱縮包裝（不是保鮮膜）
Shrink-wrap is the thin plastic pulled tight around a product, often with heat, so it hugs every corner and keeps out dust and fingers. Toys, discs, meat trays, and software boxes often arrive that way. As a verb, to shrink-wrap something is to wrap it like that; goods that are shrink-wrapped have already been wrapped. People also say “still in the shrink-wrap” to mean brand-new, never opened. Though actually, this is not the same as the film you press onto a bowl with your hands: that plastic sticks, but it does not shrink with heat. Warehouse and shop English uses shrink-wrap all the time; home English uses it when you are peeling a new box.
From the word’s history
Compound of shrink + wrap.
由 shrink「收縮」加 wrap「包裝」組成。
