It may be enough to say "shrink wrap" as the context makes clear that it refers to "heat shrink wrap". Ref.:
Heat Shrink Tunnels
Heat Shrink Tunnels
Heat shrink tunnels are one way of sealing shrink film. They can be sold as part of a shrink wrap system or separately. After the shrink wrap is cut and drawn across the package, a conveyor belt sends it through a tunnel, heating and sealing the shrink film.
