Shrink Film Rolls are a Cost-Effective Packaging Solution

October 29, 2008

Whether you need to secure large bundled items on a shipping pallet, or you need to bunch smaller items like boxes, you’ll find the shrink film rolls you need and other great packaging solutions at PackagingSupplies.com.

 

If you need to secure small groups, our narrow shrink film rolls can replace other, messier packing supplies and packaging products like tape and twine. Narrow shrink film rolls are a great investment as they’re not only easier to use than tape, twine or traditional strapping, but shrink film rolls are also cheaper. Plus, shrink film rolls can be recycled at most state and local recycling centers.

 

With our stretch film, there’s no residue and no fraying. Your packages will stay encased and secure. And when you order smaller shrink film rolls in sizes of either 3” or 5”, you’ll get a free plastic handle that makes binding and enclosing cases easier and faster. All dispensers are able to hold both 3” and 5” shrink film rolls.

 

Narrow shrink film rolls will stretch more than wider width shrink film rolls. But if you need the large shrink film rolls, then PackagingSupplies.com has you covered. Check out our larger shrink film rolls that range from 12” to 18”. Like the narrower shrink film rolls, these larger shrink film rolls offer a softer and quieter solution to traditional wrapping and securing materials.
