Shrink shroud

These thermo-shrink films are used to protect household equipment such as refrigerators, stoves, washing machines and electrical appliances. They  also are used to protect products on pallets or those stowed, bagged in paper or packed in cardboard, such as ceramic floor tiles, chemicals, food products and more. Shrink Shrouds offer protection even in extreme weather conditions or excessive handling. They preserve packaging and integrated products free of dust, water and humidity.

These customized films are designed to reduce costs by using special resins that tolerate a decrease in thicknesses without affecting resistance. With or without print they can be formulated to protect against UV light and bad weather when necessary. They may also be made to take on such physical attributes as brightness, transparency, and transverse or longitudinal orientation, according to the demands of the protected products.

Shrink Shrouds come in rolls whose size, width, thickness and weight are determined by your needs. Automatic and semiautomatic machines are used to package and shrink the shrouds to your specifications; they may also be placed in airtight bags suitable for manual installation.

The ability to hermetically cover the stored products offers great advantages over traditional packing systems. These are:

  • Restraint of the product for easier handling
  • Protection against external agents such as dust, rain, humidity, sun and theft
  • Easier identification
  • Safer long-term storage
  • Efficient inventory control
  • Better stability during transportation
  • Ease in exporting, especially when shipping
  • Unsurpassaed resistance to puncture
  • Less waste of material
