Mail services and industrial shippers rely on shrink wrap
systems to help organize, protect, and easily ship their goods.
Shrink wraps are similar to the plastics used to keep food fresh
in kitchens. The shrink wrap films are sturdier, however, and
are typically made from PVC or Polyolefin. Therefore, they
cannot be used to wrap food. PVC films are more durable and are
less likely to be torn or punctured. Polyolefin films have high
clarity. Both types of films are wrapped around the product and
then heated. The heat shrinks the film so it conforms to the
shape of the item, sealing out air and protecting the product
from dirt, moisture, and the hazards of transport.
For smaller products, though, shrink wrap bags offer a simpler
and more efficient alternative. Rather than manually wrapping
the shrink wrap film around each product, the supplier needs
only to slip the product into a PVC bag, heat the bag, and then
ship. Most bag suppliers have a range of sizes, starting at four
by six inch bags for audiocassettes or batteries, up to bags 18
by 24 inches for hundreds of pages of paper. CDs, DVDs,
videocassettes, jewelry boxes, photographs, frames, and mailers
can all be easily shipped using shrink wrap bags. Small bags
start below $20 per carton, but large bags may cost almost $150
carton. Cartons hold about 500 bags each, which means bags cost
between 4 and 28 cents each. Bags can be purchased online either
by carton or by bulk cartons.
Shrink wrap bags are also commonly used to contain gift or fruit
baskets. The shrink wrap bags not only keep the gifts fresh and
organized, but can also make a home-made gift basket look
professional. The bags are clear and work just like other shrink
wrap bags. Shrink wrap bags do cost more per carton than most
other bags, ranging from about $30 to $60. Shrink wrap bags can
contain baskets almost three feet high. Special shipping supply
companies sell shrink wrap bags online.
