IPS Packaging & Automation also offers other shrink wrap equipment that is made from stainless steel for improved corrosion resistance. Equipment needed for shrink wrap must be suitable for applications that require a very tight, tamper-evident seal to protect products from insects, other pests, moisture, dust, or other contaminants, as well as discourage theft. Most shrink wrap machines can handle shrink wraps with a variety of widths, designs, and film gauge.
