What is Shrink Wrap?

Also called shrink film, this type of wrapping has the tendency to shrink and wrap tightly around an object once you apply heat to it. Shrink wrap supplies are made from polyolefin, which may come in various sizes and thicknesses. There are even shrink wraps that can wrap around large items such as boats or buildings.

Shrink wrap can come in many forms and shapes depending on how they are used. Hence there are shrink wrap bags, bands, and even pipes.

Through special automated stretch wrap machines, the shrink wrap is placed around intended objects and passed through a heating tunnel or oven to allow it to shrink around the object. This creates an almost airtight covering.

Advantages of Shrink Wrap Bags

Shrink wrap bags are made of sturdy plastic compounds which are also non-porous. This tightly seals objects so that no dirt or foreign can penetrate after wrapping. Thicker forms of shrink wrap bags also provide protection against dents and breakage, especially for highly fragile items.

Other forms of shrink wraps help seal packages to make them tamper-proof. You are assured that the shrink wrap will help preserve the quality of the item.

You can also use shrink wrap supplies to cover and seal precious or sensitive items like paintings and building exteriors. The shrink wrap protects these objects from air moisture that may promote discoloration, rusting and deterioration.

Because of their highly transparent quality when heated and stretched, shrink wrap bags can clearly show the wrap items in full detail. Thus, they make excellent gift-wrapping materials especially for fruit baskets, boxed cookies, molded chocolates, and nuts. The bag will also keep the contents from shuffling or repositioning once they have been wrapped, and maintain their best angle.

Where to Order Shrink Wrap Bags

You can order shrink wrap bags at many sites which also sell other wrapping materials and supplies for gifts or packages. You can order almost any size of shrink wrap bags or sheets.

Many of the sites do require a minimum order quantity and amount. Orders are shipped within one to two business days and you can pay by check, money order or credit card.

If you are using the bags for gifts or packages, you may also want to purchase an industrial heat gun so that you can do the wrapping easily even in your own home.
