Shrinkwrapped is the sixth studio album by Gang of Four. It was released in 1995 on Castle Communications. Some of the songs are featured on the Peter Hall film, Delinquent.

## Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that the album "never overcomes the disappointment of hearing such former iconoclasts flaunt fairly conventional music, lyrics and (courtesy of Gill) production values."
