How It Works:

Shrink wrap is applied and shrunk using a propane fired heat tool; shrinking it tightly and fully encasing the piece of machinery.

Before you start applying the shrink wrap, examine the object and look for areas that may need padding, protection from chafing, or need insulation against extreme heat. Then, determine how far down the cover will go and the method for securing the shrink wrap at the object’s base. Dr. Shrink’s innovative strapping systems allows for easy attachment. The product can also be fully encapsulated which allows the underside of machinery to be protected.

When laying the wrap over the object, form pleats at the corners and where there is excess wrap. When shrinking, you start from the base since the rising heat warms the wrap as you work upward. It’s recommended to heat the entire object at one time for a tighter, more durable cover. When finished, inspect and tape holes and pleats.

The Dr. Shrink Advantage:

• Completely weatherproof
• No chafing
• Ventilation to eliminate moisture
• Zipper-access doors available
• Cost effective

Manufacturers want their products looking pristine and functioning correctly upon delivery. With all the hazards that come with the shipping process, shrink wrap minimizes the possibility of damage more effectively than other methods such as tarps. Protecting your goods through shrink wrap is an investment. With the myriad ways something is capable of receiving damage during the storage and shipment process, protecting it is a matter of loss prevention. Protecting your product is protecting your reputation and business.
