Frequently Asked Questions About Shrink Wrapping
What is the different between shrink wrap and stretch wrap?
Stretch wrap is unsuitable for large applications, it is stretched around an object with minimal protection; it sticks to itself and is also known as pallet wrap or cling film. Shrink Wrap is draped over an object (As seen in the left picture) before shrinking to make it strong and tight.
Why is shrink wrap better than Polythene or Visqueen?
Shrink wrap encapsulates tightly around an object so there is no flapping in the wind to deteriorate the plastic. Polythene is normally applied using tape to hold the pieces together whilst shrink wrap is welded together using heat guns.
How long does shrink wrap material last?
Shrink wrap will protect an object stored outside for up to 2 years.
How do you protect against moisture and mildew?
Covers can be ventilated to eliminate moisture and condensation. Vents allow the cross-flow of air throughout the cover minimizing the build-up of excess moisture and condensation. Alternatively, large desiccant sacks can be placed under the cover which will remove any moisture.
