As it shrinks, it conforms to the shape of your object and seals itself. You can waterproof, weatherproof and tamperproof just about anything you have.

5. ENSURES PROTECTION When heat is applied to shrink wrap, it creates a very tight seal which fully protects the items’ contents. Once sealed, the items are protected from damages which can be caused by dust, dirt or moisture. Some types of shrink wrap even come with a UV protection feature, to keep products safe from the sun’s harmful rays.

6. DURABLE Shrink wrap is made from a very sturdy, durable plastic. It is difficult to tear or puncture. Unlike other materials, shrink wrap does not become brittle or weaken when it is under extreme weather conditions and it does not loosen nor sag, ensuring more security.

This is a marketing tool that can increase brand awareness, and make a brand more visible to potential customers.

11. PROVIDES CONVENIENCE Shrink wrapping is not limited by the size of the item to be wrapped. Small electrical wires are often shrink wrapped to prevent exposure to moisture, as well as game pieces, candies, and other hardware.

To extend the capabilities of shrink wrap, advanced systems can even shrink wrap entire buildings to prevent chemical leaks or exposure from hazardous materials.
