For a few years now, we have seen a sharp rise in the use of shrink-wrap in heavy industry. ## Informations Titre H1 : Protection of bulky loads Sous titre : The packaging with shrink film In the industrial sector, protection of bulky goods is a frequent and complex challenge. Whether dealing with extremely tall, long, massive equipment or irregular shapes with sharp edges, traditional packaging solutions quickly become inadequate. Custom wooden crates are often used, combined with a mix of overpacking, strapping, foam, and bubble wrap. However, this method is not only costly but also time-consuming to implement and difficult to recycle. In recent years, shrinkwrap film has emerged as a high-performance, cost-effective, and more environmentally friendly alternative for protecting bulky goods—especially in heavy industry applications. Titre : No limit for Sous titre : shrink film One of the greatest advantages of shrinkwrap film lies in its remarkable versatility. Available in various formats, it can be supplied flat and reach widths of up to 15 meters. This makes it suitable for wrapping exceptionally large items, from rocket sections to entire helicopters. Its thermal welding capability also makes it ideal for large structures, such as temporary building enclosures during asbestos removal operations. There is virtually no size limit, as shrinkwrap sheets can be infinitely welded together. The protection of bulky goods become easy with our professionnal solution. More commonly, industrial loads such as machine tools, steel tanks, electrical cabinets, or complex motor systems are protected using this film. It conforms precisely to contours, adapts to surface relief, and provides complete protection—without the need for cutting or complex assembly. Titre : Stop waste, Sous titre : the shrink film protection is enough Packaging is often considered late in the production process—especially for oversized products. Typically, the load is first strapped onto a pallet. Then, based on customer requests, various materials are added: bubble wrap for shock absorption, plastic sheeting for moisture, adhesive tape for securing. This accumulation of time-consuming solutions increases costs, complicates recycling, and doesn’t always ensure reliable protection. With shrinkwrap film, a single solution is enough to ensure comprehensive protection of bulky goods. The film forms a sealed, durable envelope that shields against dust, rain, scratches, and even UV rays. For extremely heavy loads, it can be combined with reinforced strapping to ensure transport stability. Additionally, some technical films are specially formulated to provide anti-corrosion or anti-fungal properties—ensuring optimal preservation even in demanding environments. Choosing shrinkwrap film for protection of bulky goods means opting for a fast, effective, and adaptable packaging method suitable for all types of industrial products. With the right equipment (shrink guns, film welding tools, custom shrink hoods), implementation is both quick and professional.
