According to e-shrinkwrap.com there are many different kinds of shrink wrap film, ranging in thickness from three-fourths of an inch to one inch. Prices typically depend on the length,
width, and qualities like shininess, clarity, flexibility, and the melt temperature of the film.
Most people use shrink wrap to keep leftovers fresh and prevents spills in the microwave, but shrink wrap is also used in various industries to protect fragile items.
However, as e-Shrinkwrap.com explains, shrink wrap also protects and groups pallets of items like glass and DVDs during shipment. Packaging shrink wrap is made from a plastic similar to
the wrap used in kitchens, and it shrinks when it is heated. The heated shrink wrap makes a protected seal around the item. Shrink wrap systems vary in size, throughput rate, and level of
automation, and films come in different thicknesses, stiffness, clarities and sizes.
Industrial businesses use shrink wrap to protect ship goods while they are being shipped. Several varieties of shrink wrap packaging equipment are for sale. Smaller, often portable,
systems start around $200, but larger, more elaborate systems can cost anywhere from $2,000 to $35,000. Smaller equipment is often used by artists or art dealers to protect their works.
The shrink-wrapped package makes the art look professional while protecting it from dust, dirt, and moisture.
