Shrink Wrapping: The Smarter Alternative to Rubber Bands
Secure your products with professional, carbon balanced shrink wrapping that saves time, cuts costs, and boosts your brand appeal.
Shrink Wrapping Benefits
You may be tempted to use a rubber band to bundle your products together. And while that may be appropriate in some instances, generally speaking, our shrink wrapping service is so much better. Rubber bands can easily snap and damage your products' edges, and they certainly don't look professional. The benefits our shrink wrapping service offers include:
- Up to SRA3 sized items (slightly bigger than A3)
- Up to 20cm in the depth of item/multiple items
- Big jobs are no problem - we can produce 600+ items per hour
- Great way to bundle products together
- Effectively tamper proofs your items
- Provides excellent protection for your products
- Enhances aesthetic appearance
- Perfect for multi-buy promotions
- Very cost-effective
- Environmentally friendly
Shrink Wrapping Uses
Our shrink wrapping service often combines with some of our other services, mainly Pick & Pack and Direct Mail. This is a great solution when you have multiple items needed to be held safely and securely together. Further, for Direct Mail and Pick & Pack, shrink wrapping can often remove the need for bulky packaging, significantly reducing postage costs.
Material Efficiency and Waste Reduction
As an ISO 14001-certified company (the ISO standard focuses on improving our environmental impact), we know the importance of safeguarding our environment in every service we provide. The great news is that shrink wrapping uses polythene, which is widely recycled. It can be placed into your recycling waste and reused. Furthermore, specialist companies will come to collect it and take it away for recycling. They shred and then melt it to make polythene beads.
How Does the Shrink Wrapping Service Work?
Shrink wrapping uses heat technology to create a tight seal over your products. First, your product is (carefully) inserted into the plastic film. Your product then passes through the shrink wrapper's heat tunnel, causing the polythene to shrink snug to your product. This is a cost-effective, high-speed process; our machinery can shrink-wrap over 400 items per hour.
