Shrink wrap is a plastic that shrinks when heated and takes the shape of the object it surrounds. It is used to package or protect items of various sizes, from soap to boats. Small jobs require a heat gun, while larger ones need a shrink machine. Shrink wrap is also used for gift baskets, pallets, and boats. It allows for labeling and protects against moisture and dirt.
Shrink wrap is a type of plastic that shrinks when heated. When it shrinks, it takes the shape of the object it surrounds. Shrink wrap is used to package or protect items ranging in size from a bar of soap to boats. Small shrink jobs require the use of a heat gun to melt the plastic. Larger jobs, like shrink wrapping a boat, require a shrink machine.
After making the soap, many people wrap it to maintain the fragrance and prevent damage to the soap. To do this, you need shrink bags and a heat gun. Place the soap in the bag, leaving about a half-inch of shrink wrap around the soap, and cut off the excess. Tape the open edges of the wrap. Use the heat gun to melt the shrink wrap until it takes the shape of soap.
Many people shrink wrap baskets full of goodies to use as gifts. This prevents items from falling out and adds a store-bought touch to the homemade gift. Find a shrink bag that fits in the bin, with space to spare. Insert the basket of goodies in the bag and pull it tightly upwards, fixing it with a clamp. Use a heat gun to melt the shrink wrap into the shape of the candy filled basket.
Pallets are often shrink-wrapped to prevent the item from falling over during shipment. Shrink pallets involve the use of an industrial shrink machine. Stack the boxes on a pallet, close together, so they are neat and tidy. Using a roll of shrink wrap, start at the bottom of the pallet and wrap the entire unit five times. With a pallet truck, insert into the shrink machine to melt the plastic.
Many people shrink wrap their boats to protect them from the winter weather. To do this, you must first stuff the sharp corners of the boat with foam, to avoid puncturing the casing. Shrink the craft, while on the trailer, taking care to overlap the wrap so that it adheres to itself. Use a heat gun to melt the shrink wrap onto the shape of the boat. Repair any holes with a heat shrink repair kit.
Any item you are selling or storing can be shrink wrapped, it allows you to apply labels and price tags without damaging the item itself. Shrink wrap also prevents moisture and dirt from damaging stored items, while remaining inexpensive and easy to use.
