Hi Bob, I haven't looked in awhile, but found Duct brand and 3M. Here's the 3M link: 3M, but I can't say one brand is better than another as I have only seen them used.

The key seems to be getting the double sided tape around the edges to hold the film in place while you shrink it. The film itself provides no r-value, but the resulting air gap does. They also reduce air leakage.
