Generally, this process causes the film to shrink around the product to produce a tight, transparent wrapping which conforms to the contour of the product, while protecting the product from dirt and contamination.

Surface haze is determined as the difference between overall haze and internal haze as shown in the Equation below. Surface haze tends to be related to the surface roughness of the film, where surface haze increases with increasing surface roughness.
