July 2022 – Shrink Wrap News from the Industry Leader, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

July Notes from Mike.

Thank you to everyone who donated at our Blood Drive last week. We ended the day with a total of 19 donations which equals 57 lives saved! Dr. Shrink, Inc. will be hosting another drive at the end of September and we will give more details as the date gets closer.

I would also like to give a shout out to all of the Made in America companies as we celebrate the upcoming Independence Day holiday. Dr. Shrink, Inc. has been a proud supplier of Made in America products for 30 years and counting. All of our high quality, Made in America shrink wrap is the backbone of our nearly 80,000 square foot warehouse that also stocks propane fired heat tools and all accessories necessary for any shrink wrap job. 

I hope everyone has a fantastic 4th of July! The team and I are celebrating the holiday early with a staff BBQ lunch on our patio today. Wishing you all a great holiday with family and friends. Thank you for working with us.

Warmest Regards,

-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

Dr. Shrink Helps "A Kid Again" Organization

Dr. Shrink was happy to help an organization called “A Kid Again” pack 1,200 cinch-packs that were given out to children at the Rides & Slides Day at Michigan’s Adventure last week! A Kid Again fosters hope, happiness and healing for families raising children with life-threatening conditions. The organization hosts year-round events to support these families while providing memories that will last a lifetime. We hope all the kids and their families had a wonderful, fun-filled day!

INSPECT. DIAGNOSE. REPAIR.

Don’t forget – now is the best time to get your heat tools inspected, diagnosed, and repaired. Our heat tool technicians on staff can fully inspect your heat tool to see if any maintenance or repair work needs to be completed. If you’d like your heat tool looked at, please give us a call at 800-968-5147 and we will get you the information you need to send it in to us.

Whether you need a single part, or a complete rebuild kit, Dr. Shrink has the repair parts you need to keep your heat tool in prime working condition. If you would like us to repair your heat tool, let us diagnose the problem and get it back up and running. Otherwise, buy the parts and feel free to repair it yourself with our troubleshooting guides and resources!
