In many industries—such as building material trading, the food industry, automotive parts logistics, or returns management for retail—goods often do not conform to standard shapes. It is common to ship or store heterogeneous, irregular, or even unstable loads. In this context, protecting different shapes becomes a major logistical challenge.
Too often, these atypical pallets are merely wrapped with stretch film. The result? Some products arrive damaged, shifted, or worse, missing. Load stability is insufficient, and protection against the hazards of transport proves inadequate. To solve this, a professional and efficient solution exists: shrinkwrap film.
Find the right solution for your needs
One of the main advantages of LDPE shrinkwrap is its ability to conform to a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Thanks to its heat-reactive shrinking properties, the film molds tightly around the contours of the load—no matter how irregular. A single shrink hood can therefore accommodate various shapes without compromising stability or protection.
The process is simple: with a Ripack heat shrinkgun, the film can be sealed and shrunk in just a few minutes. For pallets with highly variable heights or complex profiles, it’s possible to create custom hoods using a wide-width Multicover welding machine. This method allows you to tailor your packaging to your specific needs, minimizing material waste while maximizing efficiency.
By protecting different shapes, shrinkwrap brings real flexibility to logistics teams and packaging operators, along with time and material savings.
Beyond adaptability, shrinkwrap acts as a true physical and visual seal. In trading and retail environments—where goods may be tampered with, stolen, or mishandled—this type of packaging secures the merchandise. Any attempt to open the shrinkwrap is immediately visible, as resealing a cut shrink hood is virtually impossible.
Unlike stretch film, which can be easily removed and reapplied with a standard roll, shrinkwrap deters unauthorized access. It also provides effective protection against weather conditions, dust, UV rays, and minor impacts.
In summary, choosing shrinkwrap means opting for professional, robust packaging tailored to protecting different shapes. With Ripack equipment, implementation is fast and safe. To explore its full potential, feel free to request a live demonstration from one of our distributors.
