Increasing Demand for Industrial Heat Shrink Wrap
Shrink wraps are available in different sizes, shapes, shrink ratios, and patterns depending on various industry specifications and requirements. With a variety of shrink wraps manufactured depending on the type of product being packaged, colour or labelling required, method of packaging, the storage environment, anti-tampering requirements, and transportation, it has become an ideal choice to maintain appropriate packaging standards and protection for the cargo.
Shrink wrap is made from a variety of plastics including PVC, polyethylene, and polyolefin. On application of heat, the wrap shrinks tightly over the product it is covering. The application of heat depends on the type of wrap, the size of the object, and the scope of the operation. Some of the methods to apply heat include heating with a handheld heat gun (electric or gas) or the product and film can pass through a heat tunnel on a conveyor. Most industrial heat shrink wraps are made from polyethylene or polypropylene material and often heat is applied using a propane heat gun. Most commonly industrial shrink wrap is used to wrap large items for weather protection, winterize boats, buildings, temporary site shelters against nature’s elements, and enclose pallets of cargo.
The shrink wrap has special coatings that help to weather the sun’s UV rays, extremely cold temperatures, fire retardants, anti-tampering, and many more that enable to provide specialized protection for the cargo. The usage of industrial shrink wrap has many benefits as it helps to protect cargo from debris, moisture, damage during transport and storage. It is the best way to brace multi-packaged items, provide a level of protection against unwanted tampering, and help to preserve the safety of cargo like foods, and medicines. With its ability to incorporate eye-catching packaging design and labelling, shrink wrap ensures compliance deliverance and engages consumer attention.
With a majority of shrink wraps comprising of inert materials, its production does not emit any polluting elements, 100 percent recyclable at a very low cost, making it a preferred choice for packaging. When compared to the manufacture and recycling of shrink wrap, the energy use and environmental cost are less than that of cardboard.
Industrial heat shrink wrap is specially formulated from superior material to maintain a higher standard in performance and safety. It is durable, versatile, and low maintenance providing vital protection in various applications.
A few of the applications where industrial shrink wrap is used are:
• Scaffolding containment
• Weather protection enclosure
• Construction projects
• Marine ship repair containment
• Marine boat shrink wrap
• Transportation
• Equipment wrap
• Environmental containment…and many more
Industrial heat shrink wrap are easily customisable to suit business requirements by using the right materials and previously proven installation techniques to protect during shipment or outdoor storage. Customisation like the addition of corrosion control, ventilation, zipper doors, flame retardant qualities, and many more enable the business to provide the best protection possible for the cargo. Apart from meeting the basic functionality of providing protection, it also provides a transparent display of the cargo within the packaging and also prevents anti-touch and exchange of contamination.
