</xml><![endif]--> Shrinkwrap is one of the significant investments that you
make for your packaging applications, and it can offer a promising return on that
investment. However, you will need to make sure that you are going for the
right shrink wrap film.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A shrink wrap film may be composed of many materials, and it
may come in different sizes and styles. A shrink film refers to any plastic
wrapping material that shrinks to mold into the shape of the product after the
introduction of heat through a heat gun.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we will discuss ways to find the best
shrink wrap film. A lot in this regard depends on the type of material used in
the making of shrink film. These materials include polyolefin, PVC,
Polypropylene, and Polyethylene. Understanding the functions of each of these
materials in a shrink film can help you pick the right shrink wrapping material
for your packaging applications.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Know the size of your product</b></span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifvv3TBgOkK7aPiAehXikVr7AawXBLU84aoL1z8T8hzffHrXbwXOjkhq6NgiExEQe_O_IKANRWuseZsvR17gVz0lIpXeQFfSvgSbdIXrHchjLeF6pc7bEZTcvylZbdxKw5xLsyLtDLIemd/s1200/Product+Size.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="804" data-original-width="1200" height="323" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifvv3TBgOkK7aPiAehXikVr7AawXBLU84aoL1z8T8hzffHrXbwXOjkhq6NgiExEQe_O_IKANRWuseZsvR17gVz0lIpXeQFfSvgSbdIXrHchjLeF6pc7bEZTcvylZbdxKw5xLsyLtDLIemd/w483-h323/Product+Size.jpg" width="483" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">To pick the right shrink wrap film, you are going to need to
know the dimensions of your product. Dimensions refer to the height, width, and
length.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is what you may want to know.</p>
<ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">If you
are packaging heavier products with sharp edges, you are going to need to
use polyethylene shrink wrap film, which is available in 200-gauge. These
films come in varying thicknesses, from 2 Mil to 12 Mil.</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">Polyolefin
shrink wrap is a very popular shrink wrapping option due to being a
food-grade material. The FDA approves it for direct food contact. This
film is available in different thicknesses.</li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">PVC
Shrinkwrap is another option that you can use for the packaging of your
products. It requires low heat to shrink, and the shrink rate of this
material is 40%.</li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Estimating production levels</b></span></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2wa_eoHnmiriMKZfUribKXTtQjVG__k-GS0Y7LUSGQ4sP6JVMwh_uUIjJaef5Xk3f7qL0KawCconZkyV8kh_6gUesQFH4fscVZzwzdPS-5fH8J_BaIFE4cLCOg1k8I-oiAQrUb3gT0ayJ/s1200/Production+Levels.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="862" data-original-width="1200" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2wa_eoHnmiriMKZfUribKXTtQjVG__k-GS0Y7LUSGQ4sP6JVMwh_uUIjJaef5Xk3f7qL0KawCconZkyV8kh_6gUesQFH4fscVZzwzdPS-5fH8J_BaIFE4cLCOg1k8I-oiAQrUb3gT0ayJ/w425-h306/Production+Levels.jpg" width="425" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">Another factor that you will need to consider while
selecting a type of shrink wrap film is your production level. This way, you
will also be able to determine the type of machinery you need.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are working with smaller production levels, you will
need to use shrink bags and tubing with a heat sealer. This system will help you
prepare 200 or fewer packages a day. To meet the requirements of higher
production levels, you are going to need to use a single wound and counter
folded film.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Machines also vary, depending on the production levels.
Production times may range from one product to several products per minute.
These machines can be semi-automatic and fully automatic.</p>

boats. The type of film you use will depend on the size and weight of the product
and the distance this product has to cover to reach its destination. If the
product has to remain in the open storage, you are going to need to use UVI
inhibitors to prevent the ultraviolet breakdown of the outer packaging. If the
product has to go through harsher shipping environments, you will need to use
polyethylene shrink wrap.</p>

amount of money is to avoid any mistakes when it comes to purchasing <a href="http://lillstreetloft.com/2016/10/23/big-movements-start-with-small-changes/">packaging supplies</a>. That’s where it becomes necessary to understand when to buy these
supplies online and when to purchase them from local sources. You can decide
about it after considering some crucial factors, including products’ weight,
shipping charges, and availability. It should help you determine where to buy
packaging supplies from.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In this article, we will discuss a few factors that you must
consider when it comes to deciding about the purchase of your packaging
supplies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The types of supplies to purchase</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Knowing the types of products you need to purchase is a
crucial part of understanding where should you buy the packaging supplies from.
Many of the packaging supplies are inexpensive, but having them shipped to your
business place can cost you a significant amount of money. For instance,
cardboard boxes are generally inexpensive, so you will want to buy them from
local stores rather than ordering online. Online orders will include shipping
costs, meaning that the overall purchase will become costlier.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jYA1gsA-yjRM7kuUP6gU8klat6nwaEBkVrSQn4vfcV2EgGcTmY8uylLK8nQBdqy4jNmsP9R8qmC9NGPitbxD-L4W31tMbrCR9pVvHDjtvDMmCR22iH3I1a7factBuoQhzgDnlAwxGTz1/s496/PK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="356" data-original-width="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7jYA1gsA-yjRM7kuUP6gU8klat6nwaEBkVrSQn4vfcV2EgGcTmY8uylLK8nQBdqy4jNmsP9R8qmC9NGPitbxD-L4W31tMbrCR9pVvHDjtvDMmCR22iH3I1a7factBuoQhzgDnlAwxGTz1/s16000/PK.jpg" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">You will want to refer to regional sources even if you
intend to buy bulks of boxes. According to a rough estimate, you can save up to
20% of total costs if you stick to local sources of cardboard boxes.
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Most of the expensive packaging products are heavy, but they
do not cost much in terms of shipping charges. Products like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packaging_machinery">packaging machinery</a>, film rolls, containers, and bottles are better bought online.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>The amount of a packaging product that you need</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You can decide where to buy a packaging product after
determining the amount of it you need. You do not want to order online for the
products that you need in a small amount, and you can find those easily. A
great example of it is the purchase of stretch wrap rolls. If you need one
roll, you will want to purchase it from a local source.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUAAjlpug68YzqBJamAtDC6wZt2XLyYucKtxhb6TtWPRdeZeBg1GvHCVNef6DhRsQAbjmSutITRzSCqvKpR_3TW2yWMPIYJXAsX7A4SQCTJzAATpXGRka5rw6dAXVRaANEbIljfMe7Ia3R/s684/Screenshot_2020-11-17+Photobucket+packing_box_180x160x85+jpg.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="625" data-original-width="684" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUAAjlpug68YzqBJamAtDC6wZt2XLyYucKtxhb6TtWPRdeZeBg1GvHCVNef6DhRsQAbjmSutITRzSCqvKpR_3TW2yWMPIYJXAsX7A4SQCTJzAATpXGRka5rw6dAXVRaANEbIljfMe7Ia3R/w427-h390/Screenshot_2020-11-17+Photobucket+packing_box_180x160x85+jpg.png" width="427" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal">To purchase larger quantities of products that you are
unable to find from local stores, you may want to order online.
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Purchasing custom products</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most of the time, you may not be able to find a custom
product from local stores. Unless you live near a manufacturer, you are going
to need to order online to purchase a custom packaging product.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another challenge here is that most manufacturers do not
sell their items to end-users. In that case, you will need to use the network
of distributors to get the product you need.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In many cases, you will not get a printed product from a
manufacturer. It also necessitates you to approach a distributor.</p>
