Scratch-Resistant Shrink wrapping : How to protect my goods?

During transportation and handling, goods are exposed to numerous mechanical stresses. Shocks, vibrations, repeated handling, and friction with other loads are all factors that can cause micro-scratches and damage, whether cosmetic or functional. To ensure packaging protection against scratches, it’s essential to adopt a professional solution designed to absorb impacts while preserving the integrity of sensitive surfaces.

A pallet transported over long distances naturally experiences a high number of micro-movements. Whether in a truck, on a loading dock, or in a warehouse, goods can come into contact with other parcels, handling equipment, or even the walls of the vehicle. If the packaging is not designed to resist this friction, painted, varnished, or delicate surfaces may be damaged upon delivery.

Shrink-wrap, solidity and protection

Shrinkwrap is a comprehensive and efficient solution for meeting this dual challenge: keeping products securely in place while providing protection against scratches. By tightly conforming to the contours of the load, it minimizes internal movement and significantly reduces the risk of abrasion during transit.

For standard goods, a single layer of shrink film is often sufficient to create a protective barrier against external aggressions. This flexible skin acts as a second layer, preventing minor scuffs, dust deposits, or handling-related grime. Our low-density polyethylene (LDPE) shrink films are available in thicknesses up to 210 microns—enough to provide effective packaging protection against scratches.

A Premium Solution for High-Value Products

This type of professional packaging for scratch protection is widely used in demanding sectors such as military vehicle transport, aerospace, shipbuilding, or sensitive electronics. In these specific cases, product appearance is just as important as functionality. The use of textile-coated shrinkwrap allows for superior protection without compromising packing speed or logistics efficiency.

In summary, shrinkwrap offers a reliable answer to the challenges of modern transportation. In addition to stabilizing the load, it acts as a true shield against scratches, friction, and mechanical impact. Adopting this solution means ensuring that your customers receive perfectly intact goods upon delivery.
