Why Use PE Shrink Film?
PE shrink film (or shrink wrap) normally comes on a roll and is a multifaceted polyethylene film that tightly wraps and packages goods. When shrink wrapping an item, firstly, the film is loosely wrapped around the item or pallet. Secondly, when heat is applied to the polyethylene film, the film shrinks around the product tightly. After this process, you have a stable and durable layer of protection tightly wrapped around the item.
Advantages of shrink wrapping:
Increased Protection = The tight nature of the shrink wrap ensures increased protection of the encapsulated product. The item is protected from dirt and debris, as well as having superior moisture protection, and is therefore protected from all the damage these contaminants could potentially cause. We can even include additives such as UV inhibitors, anti-static treatment, and low and non-fusion options for increased protection.
Increase Stability = Wrapping your goods in polyethylene shrink wrap gives superior stability to your goods when in transit or storage. The tight wrapping ensures the continued rigidity of the pallet or product so there is no risk of it falling over or items falling out, further protecting your items from damage.
Durable Wrapping = Polyethylene shrink film is a tough and durable material that is tear and puncture resistant. Even with obscure-shaped loads, shrink wrap will not loosen once heated and shrunk, giving you peace of mind that your goods will remain tightly protected and upright when in transit or storage.
Cost Effective = Not only is shrink film a low cost, affordable material, and form of packaging, it is also a space saver. This tight way of packaging items results in more space available in storage or transit, which could potentially save you money if you are transporting or storing multiple items.
Reduced Tampering = Due to the tight and secure nature of shrink wrapping, it is more difficult for someone to tamper with the goods once wrapped. Furthermore, any tampering would be instantly noticeable as shrink film does not loosen or sag and is not easily tear able. It is a great way to ensure the sealed items have not been tampered with.
Size and Shape not an Issue = No matter the size or shape of the item you want to wrap, shrink wrapping can do it all. From small, intricate pieces, to large obscure shaped loads, PE shrink film is a convenient and all-encompassing solution to your wrapping needs.
Branding and Printing = Quick Pak Inc can supply printed shrink film, as well as alter its color and opaqueness.
