SHRINK WRAP - ENCAPSULATION

Shrink wrapping is a resistant plastic film that you can wrap around any object, no matter what size or shape. The process consisting in heat the film to create a tight-fitting, self-sealed package. When the plastic is heated, it shrinks and wraps snugly around items of any shape, it can significantly reduce the space taken up by the items.Shrink wrap can securely protect products, is great for storage or if they will travel to their destinations. It’s a protective and cost-effective option for many products and companies. 

• Protection:  When heat is applied to shrink wrap, it creates a very tight seal.   Once sealed, the items are no longer vulnerable to the damage that can be caused by dust, dirt or moisture (Weather-related elements).

• 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 under extreme weather conditions, remain constant across a wide temperature range, and it does not loosen nor sag, ensuring more security.

• Tamper-proofing:  Any tampering will be noticeable immediately and for this reason, many pharmaceutical companies and food manufacturers now shrink wrap their products to ensure that items are or were delivered with the level of diligence required. Other banks and government agencies use a special type of shrink wrap which changes color when the material has been stretched or meddled – this is to show if there has been any unauthorized activity which transpired with the storage or transfer of said items.

• Preservation: Food is easily perishable and because of this, manufacturers are posed with a challenge to extend their products’ shelf life. Food-grade shrink wrap is a regular choice for food production companies as exposure to external factors may cause the spoilage faster which will entail waste for food companies and this exposure is being avoided by the careful sealing of each food item.

• Water-Resistance: One of the most significant shrink wrap packaging benefits is its ability to deflect water. The wrap resists water for long periods, making transport through moisture-prone areas hassle-free. Rain, snow, or something similar, your items will stay protected for significant durations underneath the shrink wrap.

• Ultraviolet (UV) rays Protection: Some types of shrink packaging even protect from UV rays.

• Versatility: Shrink wrap adapts to the item it covers. This adaptability means the material can protect nearly any product imaginable.

•  Branding: Shrink wrap can come in different colors and also be designed with logos, colors, pictures, and words.

• Convenience:  Shrink wrap is available in all different sizes to fit the needs of the users. Small electrical wires are often shrink wrapped to prevent exposure to moisture, as well as game pieces, candies, and other hardware. On the other hand, shrink wrap kits are sold to weatherize boats and greenhouses even freight on trailers and trains can be shrink wrapped for easier transport. To extend the capabilities of shrink wrap, advanced systems can even shrink wrap entire buildings to prevent chemical leaks or exposure from hazardous materials.
  

• Cost-Efficiency: Shrink wrap packaging is a more cost-effective choice than many other packaging materials. You can use exact amounts of shrink wrap to enclose a product fully. This allows you to use less material than alternatives such as cardboard. The less material you use, the less money you have to spend. Shrink wrap also takes up less space, meaning you can ship more products in the same shipment. You can fit more shrink-wrapped items onto trucks or warehouse shelves, saving you and other shipping professionals valuable space and money.
