The Difference Between Shrink And Non-Shrink Packaging

Everything in our collection is manufactured to BRC packaging standards, ensuring only the premium materials get through rigorous checks. But what is the difference between shrink and non-shrink packaging solutions? Which one should you order to ensure that your goods are packaged safely and securely?

Shrink Covers

Shrink Wrap is a clear plastic film that isn’t able to stretch. Shrink covers are usually perfect for professionally packaging items, ensuring that they are protected from tampering and other damage. Usually, shrink wrap is used to wrap individual items, but it can also be used to keep multiple things together. Heat can be applied to shrink wrap in order for it to fit the item perfectly, keeping everything securely contained. This heat can be applied via heat gun or via a larger heat tunnel.

Marpak’s heat shrink pallet covers offer unbeatable protection of your palletised goods. We have invested in research & development, and this allow us to offer superior load stability whilst down gauging without affecting the high quality of the pallet cover.

Non-Shrink Covers

Non-shrink covers are handy because they are stretchy and require no heat application, meaning that there is minimal effort involved when protecting your pallet. Non-shrink covers are extremely easy to use, with no machinery required for application. Due to how easy it is to apply, non-shrink pallet covers are ideal for protecting your products quickly from things like dust, dirt or rain. These are ideal for construction sites, warehouses, storage facilities and other outdoor working areas at risk from weather.

As the products you want to protect are wrapped in the stretchy non-shrink film, tension is then applied to the wrap as it is brought round the items several times. The wrap then clings to itself, meaning that it maintains excellent hold and offers the ultimate protection.

For all your packaging needs, get in touch with Marpak. We also offer high quality polythene mattress and furniture covers, as well as food grade polythene and Dolav liners.
