ADVANTAGES OF SHRINK WRAPPING
Shrink Wrapping You may have heard about all the advantages of shrink wrapping. However, what exactly is shrink wrapping and is it something you can use? Shrink wrap is a plastic film that you can wrap around any object, no matter what the size or shape. Heat is then applied to the surface, which causes the plastic to shrink. As it shrinks, it conforms to the shape of your object and seals itself. There are several ways to shrink wrap. Smaller items may be placed in a shrink wrap bag, and then heated with a handheld heat gun. Other items may be placed in shrink wrap tubing that is adjustable in length. Facilities that regularly shrink wrap larger loads may use a shrink wrap machine, which can wrap, heat, and seal all at the same time. www.shrink-wrap.co.nz
Advantages to Shrink Wrapping Shrink wrapping has many applications across various industries. Not only is it easy touse,butitoffersawide range of benefits as well.
PROTECTION When heat is applied to shrink wrap, it creates a very tight seal. This plastic seal then fully protects the shrink wrapped contents. Once sealed, the items are no longer vulnerable to the damage that can be caused by dust, dirt or moisture. Some types of shrink wrap even come with UV protection, to keep your products safe from the sun’s harmful rays. Tampering Since shrink wrap both seals and holds its shape once applied, any tampering will be noticeable immediately. For this reason, many pharmaceutical companies now shrink wrap their products, as well as food manufacturers. Some types of shrink wraps used by banks and government agencies change color when the plastic has been stretched, to show that the sealed items have been touched. Durability Shrink wrap is made from a very sturdy, durable plastic. It is difficult to tear or puncture. Unlike other materials, shrink wrap does not become brittle or weaken when it is in the sun or extreme cold. Once the shrink wrap has been heated and sealed over your objects, it will not loosen or sag.
AFFORDABILITY Compared to other packaging materials, shrink wrap can be a very affordable choice. It also is designed to minimize space; it keeps bundled items close together without the use of additional bulky materials, such as boxes. Space saved is money saved, both in storage and transport. BRANDIN An added feature of shrink wrap is that it can be designed with colors, words, pictures and logos that promote your products. From your production floor until it reaches the end user, your product isn’t just wrapped in plastic— it’s wrapped in your brand. This is a marketing tool that can increase brand awareness, and make you more visible to your customers. PRESERVATION Many foods that need to be preserved, either for transport or to extend shelf life, are preserved in shrink wrap. Food-grade shrink wrap is a regular choice for food production companies.
CONVENIENCE The one item that most separates shrink wrap from other packaging materials is that is can be used for any size project. Small electrical wires are often shrink wrapped to prevent exposure to moisture. Game pieces, candies, and hardware can all be bunched and shrink wrapped. On the other end of the spectrum, shrink wrap kits are sold to weatherize boats and greenhouses. Freight on trailers and trains can be shrink wrapped for easier transport. Even entire buildings have been shrink wrapped to prevent chemical leaks or exposure from hazardous materials. Shrink wrapping is extremely cost- effective. WWW. SHRI NK- WRAP. CO. NZ
