Why Shrink Wrap?
Shrink wrapping with a modern thermo film provides the most environmentally sound method of product preservation available. This ultraviolet inhibitive film (UVI) forms an impermeable barrier around any commodity when shrunken with a propane fired heat gun. Shrink films form a tough, taut weatherproof barrier that will protect your products from the corrosive effects of the elements and also serves as a pilferage deterrent. While providing economical, long-lasting outdoor (and indoor) protection at fractions of the cost of indoor storage, snow, ice and rain slide off the slick exterior surface and airborne dirt and grime is kept away.

The Process:
There are three key elements for successful shrink wrap applications: material, technique and experience.

1) Proper Materials – It is extremely difficult to distinguish the quality of shrink film by visual observation. The amount of UVI (ultra-violet inhibitors), EVA (ethyl vinyl acetate), anti-block additive, anti-static agents, biaxial orientation, break strength and elongation in film cannot be visually observed. A common misconception is that a thicker film (higher mils) is a better film.

2) Proper Application Technique – There are 3 basic methods of shrink wrapping an object: encapsulation, framing and taping. The method used is determined by its size and shape; whether it is a shipping or storage cover; under what conditions it will be shipped or stored and the length of storage or transportation.

3) Proper Training and Experience – This aspect of the shrink wrapping process is crucial to a successful and safe shrink wrapping job. The person(s) doing the shrink wrapping must be properly trained in the use of the heat gun and aware of the dangers involved in using propane flame. Proper preparation is essential to ensure against cave-in and moisture damage during storage or transportation. Zap Enterprises offers quality training at your facility or ours.
