Shrink wrapping in the military sector can provide many benefits:
Protection from Environmental Elements
Shrink wrap is highly effective in protecting equipment and supplies from rain, snow, wind, and UV rays. It ensures that military assets remain in good condition regardless of the environment. Shrink wrap acts as a barrier against dust, sand, and other debris, which is essential in harsh environments like deserts.
By tightly sealing the equipment, shrink wrap prevents moisture. This is crucial for preventing rust and corrosion on metal parts and machinery. Some shrink wraps can be infused with Vapor Corrosion Inhibitors (VCIs). These chemicals offer additional protection against corrosion.
Better Security
Shrink wrap can show signs of tampering. This helps secure sensitive or high-value items. It conceals the contents to protect sensitive equipment from prying eyes. The shrink wrap also allows for accurate inspection while providing adequate security.
Cost-Effective and Customizable
Shrink wrap is durable and can last for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent replacements. By protecting equipment from environmental damage, shrink wrap reduces the need for costly repairs and maintenance. We can shrink wrap equipment of any shape or size, from small tools to large vehicles and aircraft.
Easy Transport
Shrink wrapping saves space. It allows for more efficient use of storage space by tightly wrapping items, reducing bulk. Shrink-wrapped items are easier to handle and transport. They ensure equipment remains secure during movement.
Equipment and supplies wrapped in shrink wrap are ready for quick deployment since they remain in good condition and are easy to access. Clearly labeled and well-protected items help in efficient inventory management, ensuring that military operations run smoothly.

Shrink-wrapping military items brings a whole other type of attention and responsibility to hand. Some military items, which are machines of war, are ready for you to put into action to aid our service men and women.
A scratch to its camouflage or damage of any kind could delay its delivery. This would be unacceptable. Other items are sophisticated computer-driven machines where any breach of plastic can damage hundreds of thousands of dollars in equipment. And yet, we handle other items that we deem secret or sensitive accordingly.

Military items might require a short-term wrap for going over the road, and then you can immediately remove them. In this case, we discuss the options of using different materials and short-term tapes, which reduce the shipping weight and required installation time.

How We Prevent Rust
Other items will need heavy plastic to last longer against extreme conditions and environmental hazards. Still, others will require special corrosion-fighting materials, such as our unique VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) shrink wrap.
VCI shrink wrap gives off a vapor that stops rust from forming on metal parts. It wraps tightly around items to keep them safe from water, dirt, and even salt in the air. VCI wrap doesn’t need extra sprays or treatments to protect your items.
The protection lasts for a long time, making it great for storing or shipping metal objects. Since it prevents rust and damage, it saves money by reducing repairs and replacements.
