SHRINK WRAPPING LARGE OR ODD SHAPED LOADS
• Shrink wrapping is a versatile process that can be employed in a variety of
applications. For example, shrink wrappers routinely wrap irregular objects
such as industrial equipment.
Objects, which are too big to fit under a bag, can be wrapped by using several
sheets of shrink film joined together if the following the precautions are observed:
• When adjoining sheets of film there should be an 18 inch overlap. This
overlap allows the sheets to weld together during the shrink process.
• The sheets of film must be secured around the entire base of the pallet and
attached to the skid with strips of wood strapping or any other method that
can secure the film and prevent it from pulling up on the object when heat is applied.
• Once the film is firmly attached to the pallet, the heat tool is used to shrink
the film, again using a back and forth motion, starting at the bottom of
the object and working your way to the top.
