June Notes from Mike.
Hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend and took time to remember and honor all the servicemen and servicewomen, our American Heroes, who have given their all for America.
Dr. Shrink is excited to introduce a new product to our line– the Scaff Hat! The Scaff Hat is used to prevent scaffold leg ends (and scaffold tube/pin edges) from penetrating and/or poking through the shrink wrap. Please read through the designated section below and contact us with any and all questions!
I would like to remind our Michigan customers of our Recycling Run for shrink wrap covers in need of recycling. Registration Forms are due today (Wednesday, June 1st) – please see the section below for more details. If you are located in other states, we have a few other partner programs in place.
We are hosting a blood drive on Friday, June 24th from 9:00am – 2:30pm. You can sign up for a time slot in the section below. If you are not local, maybe this will serve as a friendly reminder to consider donating at a blood drive near you!
Hope everyone has a great start to the summer season and to all the Dads out there, I wish you a Happy Father’s Day later this month!
Warmest Regards,
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

SCAFF HAT
Dr. Shrink is excited to announce a new product into our lineup – the Scaff Hat. The main purpose of the Scaff Hat is to prevent scaffold leg ends (and scaffold tube/pin edges) from penetrating and/or poking through the shrink wrap. The Scaff Hat creates a smooth, rounded surface to support the shrink wrap scaffolding enclosure.
Selling Points:
- Softens sharp scaffold tube/pin edges
- No need for taping/padding off the scaffold leg ends
- Bright safety orange color stands out on perimeter fencing/scaffold leg ends. The color is also great around excavation as a danger alert.
The Scaff Hat works with Cuplock, Pin Lock, and Peri Up scaffolding systems. Product dimensions are 5″ x 5″ x 5″; the item can be purchased individually or 40/case.

Scaffolding & Construction
This month the Dr. is highlighting products and shrink wrap applications as they relate to the Construction & Scaffolding Industry. Government and large building contacts will often require scaffolding and exterior containment and shrink wrap is the most cost effective and durable material that can be used. Available in Extreme 12-mil and up to 60′ in width, with Flame Retardant sizes also available, the Dr. provides the largest rolls of film available on the market.

Recycling Run Forms Due JUNE 1st!
Our registration for the Recycling Run for 2022 will be complete by the end of the day, today! We hope all of your summer toys, boats, and patio furniture are unwrapped and being enjoyed!
The forms for our Recycling Run Program are due by Wednesday, June 1st. If you don’t get your forms into us by then, then you might not make it on the pickup list for this year, so please get them in! *Just a reminder – this program is only available in Michigan.*
FOR THOSE LOCATED IN RHODE ISLAND, MASSACHUSETTS, MAINE, NANTUCKET, OHIO, OR ONTARIO, CANADA- we have recycling partner-programs for those states. Take a look at our partner-programs for more details on how to participate here.
KEEP IN MIND ALL SHRINK WRAP USERS CAN TYPICALLY RECYCLE LOCALLY…
Dr. Shrink’s film is 100% virgin resin made of #4 Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) and is one of the most common plastic types AND is 100% recyclable at most local recycling centers! All you need to do is remember to keep it C.0.0.L. which is our easy reminder to make sure your wrap is CLEAN, has ZERO accessories (vents, strapping, doors, etc.), has ZERO moisture (be sure it is dry), and is LOOSE when packed for recycling.
Please remember to keep your boat covers clean, dry and condensed.
Another interesting use for shrink wrap! A customer used some scrap 8-mil shrink wrap to redo some worn out boat cushions that make up the “floor” of his cuddy cabin that is used for storage. The customer was able to salvage the cushions with shrink wrap and it was a less expensive option than paying for custom made cushions. Please keep in mind this area is used for storage purposes on the boat– shrink wrap is very slippery when wet!
