Protect Your Investment By Shrink Wrapping
Jan 25th, 2012 by admin
Shrink wrapping is becoming the new standard for shipping expensive goods and equipment. Covering an item with shrink wrap is a cost-effective way to protect against the damaging elements of weather, dust and debris when shipping or storing valuable goods. Shrink wrapping is often times preferable to crating items, whether it is because the item is very large or unusually shaped, and therefore crates add too much weight, or because the nature of the item makes a crate difficult and cumbersome to work with.
Atlantic Shrink Wrap provides top quality shrink wrap services to protect items such as boats, commercial equipment, industrial products and materials, as well as military equipment. Delicate machinery and equipment on board helicopters, boats, and tanks, can become damaged and in need of extensive and expensive repair if they are left exposed to dust, sand, or water. Shrink wrapping allows the items to be more quickly returned to service after transport or storage.
Shrink wrapping can also be utilized to cover historic buildings during restoration work, and to protect homes undergoing construction due to remodeling work or rebuilding after fire or storm damage. In such instances the areas which are vulnerable to damage by the elements are covered, but entry and access points can remain open.
Beyond acting as a mere cover for the item, specialty shrink wraps serve to actively protect the item from particular threats. Atlantic Shrink Wrap offers corrosive inhibiting shrink wrap to provide an extra measure of protection that is especially recommended for delicate machinery. For items which are entering long term storage or will be exposed to the outdoors, the life span of the shrink wrap can be extended through the use of UV inhibitors and preservation tape.
If possible exposure to heat or flame is a concern, such as a project where a wrapped item will be in close proximity to welding or steam fitting, flame retardant shrink wrap should be used. Flame retardant shrink wrap is also preferable for remodeling projects where codes require fire resistency.
Atlantic Shrink Wrap offers top notch quality work for their clients, and takes on projects for worldwide shipment whether large or small. Atlantic Shrink Wrap takes pride in helping clients protect their investments.
