October Notes from Mike.
Happy Fall everyone! I hope that all of our marine customers are in full swing and having an incredible start to the fall wrapping season!
As we welcome fall and October, I also want to share a special opportunity we have for this month. We have stocked up on our Pink Shrink Wrap as we are raising awareness for Breast Cancer Research. We have 100 rolls of 17’x110′ 7-mil, and we will be donating $10 from every roll to two incredible organizations in Manistee County going towards breast cancer research.
Let’s all show how we, in the shrink wrap industry, can showcase and raise awareness for Breast Cancer Research from all corners of the globe by using PINK from Dr. Shrink!
We hope you consider purchasing our Pink Wrap this fall season.
Thank you to all of our incredible customers! Be well and stay healthy. As always, please let us know what we can do for you. Thank you for working with us.
-Mike Stenberg, President & CEO, Dr. Shrink, Inc.

ESSENTIAL HOW-TO’S FOR THE FALL SEASON
17′ x 110′ : 7-Mil : PINK WRAP
Dr. Shrink is raising awareness for breast cancer research and giving back to 2 local Manistee, Michigan cancer organizations for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
“This year we are trying to really engage our customers from around the globe. We are stocking up on our “Pink Wrap” and will be promoting it all month long through our “Wrap for a Cause” campaign” says Mike Stenberg, President & Founder of Dr. Shrink, Inc. “With every roll purchased a portion of that sale will go to benefit the Paint the Town Pink and the Stomp Out Cancer Fund, both benefiting the local Manistee Community.”
“As we are getting into the height of the marine recreation wrapping season, we think some of our customers will really jump on the opportunity,” says Ryan Polcyn, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Dr. Shrink, Inc. “Since you need to wrap your boat anyway, why not “Wrap for a Cause” and also get the added benefit of knowing you are helping in the breast cancer awareness efforts.”
This year for the entire month of October, Dr. Shrink hopes to sell 100 rolls of their 17’x110’ 7-mil Pink Wrap all across the world, which will generate about $1,000 that will directly benefit the SOC & Paint the Town Pink Fund.
“We have some amazing customers all across the globe that we have incredible relationships with,” says Stenberg, “We are really optimistic that we will be able to meet our goal and sell out of our Pink Wrap this October. I’m looking forward to seeing our Pink Wrap in application photos in all different countries. The goal is to spread breast cancer awareness on a global level with our Pink Wrap.”
