Maximise protection and efficiency with Ripack® Shrink Wraps
In the world of packaging, where product protection is paramount, shrink wraps play an essential role. Ripack®, a leader in innovative packaging, offers a wide range of shrink wraps, adapted to different industrial needs. Let’s delve into the world of shrink wraps and discover how Ripack® can meet your packaging requirements with excellence.
What is shrink wrap?
Shrink wraps, also known as heat-shrink wraps, are packaging materials specially designed to wrap and protect various types of products. Their unique design allows them to shrink evenly when heated, creating a secure sheathed package around items.
Shrink wrap Applications :
Ripack® shrink wraps are versatile and can be used in a variety of industries, such as food, logistics, and pharmaceuticals. Whether you need to package individual products or multiple products on a pallet, shrink wraps offer a reliable and efficient solution.
The Benefits of Ripack® Shrink wraps:
Ripack® offers a multitude of options to meet your specific packaging needs:
- Layflat Shrink wrap: Ideal for packaging any product, from the smallest to the largest, with a variety of folding options for maximum efficiency. These films are available in a range of widths and lengths, wound on a tubular mandrel for ease of use. Easy to seal, there is no size limit for the product to be wrapped and protected.
- UV inhibitor Shrink wrap: Offers UV protection, with UV barrier or stabilisation options for extra durability. These films are ideal for light-sensitive products requiring extra protection against the harmful effects of the sun.
- Fire Retardant Shrink wrap: Provides protection against fire, with specific agents added during extrusion to meet the most stringent safety standards. These films are widely used in environments where the risk of fire is high, ensuring maximum protection for goods.
- Opaque or Translucent Shrink wrap: Offers protection while allowing visual control, with colour options for additional customisation. Opaque shrink wraps ensure greater confidentiality while protecting goods from external elements.
- Gusseted heat shrink tubing: To adapt to the different heights of your pallets, gusseted sleeves offer maximum flexibility when making your covers. This solution makes it possible to create customised covers by welding a “tube” of LDPE film at the desired height, adapted to each load. Ideal for manufacturers with a range of different products or loads of varying heights.
- Heat shrink covers: Perfect for palletising, offering optimum protection and retention of loads on pallets, with different size and thickness options. These covers are available in a range of formats, including individual covers and pre-cut covers, giving you the flexibility to meet your packaging needs.
