Part 1 Features
The key features of shrink wrap are quality, color, and thickness. We discussed the quality of shrink wrap in our previous blog Shrink Wrap 101. There are two qualities of shrink wrap, 100% virgin resin and lower quality. As we previously wrote Dr. Shrink, Inc. only carries 100% virgin resin shrink wrap because it is a premium product and offers a higher level of
protection. To further demonstrate the difference between recycled and virgin resin material we are conducting a study titled Shrink Wrap: Not All Created Equal which will be released next week.
The next feature of shrink wrap to consider is the color. Shrink wrap is frequently seen in blue, white, and clear. Each of these colors has a task specific purpose. Blue shrink wrap attracts sunlight and will get warmer allowing snow loads to melt and slide off. White shrink wrap reflects sunlight and maintains a more consistent temperature, reducing sweating and moisture build up. It is commonly seen in sunny climates. Clear shrink wrap is great in retail—it allows the object to be protected and viewed simultaneously. It is also commonly used for greenhouses.
The final feature we would like to discuss today is the thickness. Shrink wrap is offered in mil thicknesses ranging from 6-12. These variations are once again task specific. In an upcoming blog we will delve further into the thought and purpose behind the options available and help guide you on how to choose the perfect roll of shrink wrap for your task.
