The shrink film a clear or opaque protection

Translucent shrink-wrap, initially cloudy in appearance, becomes more transparent during the shrinking process and remains so afterwards.
This quasi-transparency makes it possible to visually check the wrapped goods.

Being able to detect possible damage that has occurred during transportation before unpacking the goods, thanks to the transparency of shrink-wrap, is a considerable advantage. This is especially true when compared to transparent stretch film, which hides the goods under multiple layers and shiny folds, and can be easily opened or cut and then, undetectably rewrapped to hide the deterioration or theft of one or more items.
