At its core, shrink wrap is a piece of extra durable plastic that has the capability to minimize, tighten, and form a protective seal when a little bit of heat is applied to it. This wrap is often offered in a thin plastic roll, bag, or convenient tube. Businesses love it because its affordable, easy-to-use, and extremely protective.
We love it for all of those things and then some – we love this heat wrap simply because it gives us the unlimited creative freedom to package, ship, and store items of any shape or size. Here are a few examples.
Bundle & Organize Big Items
Shrink wrap is made from a very durable plastic that won’t loosen, tear, or puncture. As it goes through the heating process, it conforms to the shape of your items and creates a protective barrier against unwanted dust, dirt, or moisture. This makes larger heat wrap rolls or stretch and banding film the ideal sealing agent for bigger items like…
- Industrial Pallets
- Boxes
Industry Tip: Stretch and banding film is often offered in a wide range of colors. Use these colors as an easy way to color-code and organize your warehouse.
Shrink Wrap Small Items
Because of its tight, tamper-proof seal shrink wrap has the ability to form a protective barrier around potential openings (like twist caps or lids!) where bacteria or moisture could get in. Small bags, tubes, or bands can help reinforce the quality and purity of your items. This is why you often see it used for…
- Personal Care & Cosmetics
- Pharmaceuticals
- Hardware & Electronics
- Literature
- Video Games, DVDs, and CDs
Encase Items Of Any Shape
The best part about shrink wrap is that it refuses to put limits on our creativity. If we want to make a giant gift basket filled to the brim with stuffed animals, our handmade personal care items, and other oddly shaped giftables, then shrink wrap is there for us to simply support and protect. This is why retailers and more love using these heat shrink bags for…
- Custom Gift Baskets
- Delicious Consumables
