Questions About Shrink Wrapping?
Every project is different, but these answers cover the questions we hear most often. Contact us for recommendations based on your asset, location, timeline, and storage or transportation plan.
-
Depending on the system and materials selected, shrink wrap can help protect against moisture, rain, snow, dust, dirt, debris, UV exposure, surface contamination, and weather during storage or transportation.
-
Yes. Custom projects are a major part of our work. We review the asset's dimensions, shape, surfaces, handling points, access needs, and expected conditions before building the scope.
-
Yes. United Shrink Wrap is based in Michigan and available for commercial and industrial projects throughout the United States. Travel requirements are evaluated as part of the quote.
-
Seasonal residential boat and RV service is focused around Grand Rapids and West Michigan. Send the storage address so we can confirm availability.
-
Yes, but the scope is different. A seasonal storage wrap and a transport wrap face different loads, handling, movement, and environmental conditions. Tell us exactly how the asset will be used while wrapped.
-
Access and ventilation can be incorporated when appropriate for the project. We will discuss how often access is needed, which areas must remain reachable, and what conditions the asset will face.
-
For many large or irregular assets, shrink wrap can be a faster and more flexible protective option than full custom crating. The right choice depends on the asset, handling plan, transport method, security requirements, and destination.
-
The appropriate duration depends on the material, exposure, ventilation, installation, and project conditions. Tell us the expected timeframe so the system can be scoped accordingly.
-
Please provide the asset type, dimensions, current location, destination if applicable, storage or transport purpose, desired date, site access details, and clear photos from multiple angles.
-
Often, yes. These requirements must be discussed before installation so the wrap, reinforcement, access points, and exposed handling locations can be planned into the scope.
Still Not Sure What the Project Requires?
