Protection

Shrink wrap film is deceptively strong, despite its thin appearance, especially when a few layers are coiled together to create tighter and stronger bonds. When shipping large orders around the country and further afield, shrink wrapping can prevent damage from being caused, such as scrapes and scuffs. The material also prevents interference from the elements, particularly water. Water damage is often irreversible to some products and incurs several costs. The shrink wrap clings tightly to the item, acting as a waterproof barrier.

Packaging

Perhaps the most obvious reason for purchasing the best shrink wrap machine is for packaging. Shrink wrap packaging film is widely used in the food and drink industry, but there are a plethora of other things which can also benefit from this method of packaging. From small food items to building materials, there are almost no limits to what can be shrink wrapped. The versatility of the material means the machines have been developed to suit any criteria that businesses propose. Shrink wrapping products make them more appealing, and images and branding can be easily printed onto the material.

Gift Wrap

Using a high speed shrink wrapping machine and film to prepare gifts for those a long distance away is a great way to save space and money. It can be expensive to send large gifts overseas, as pricing works out in relation to the size of the parcel and its weight. Shrink wrapping a gift will prevent damage and it is much lighter to use shrink wrap film, and it doesn’t matter if the package is small or large. Small gifts can be as easily packaged as larger ones such as a hamper, and you can rest assured the item is in the best quality.

Books

A popular use for shrink wrap machinery and film is for books. Many publishing companies greatly benefit from shrink wrapping books, magazines and papers, to avoid water and moisture damage, along with flammability. By wrapping books and magazines in shrink wrap, a watertight seal is in place, so even after a long transit, they are delivered in the best quality.
