    Heat-Shrink Wrap

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Heat-Shrink Wrap. Heat-Shrink Wrap.
    Heat this wrap to create a form-fitting barrier around single packages and small shipments to protect them from moisture and dirt.
    Note: One mil equals 0.001".
    PVC—PVC wrap requires less heat to shrink and resists tears better than polyolefin wrap.
    Polyolefin—Polyolefin wrap is FDA compliant for contact with food, so it's often used in the food and beverage industry. It’s more stretchable and resists punctures better than PVC wrap. The high clarity makes it good for applications where you need to see what’s underneath the wrap.
