Custom Shrink Wrap Material Covers 5-10 Mil
Transhield’s 5-10 mil shrink wrap material (The Shrinkable Fabric®) is used to make custom covers for a wide range of industrial and marine products. This industrial shrink wrap protects your valuable assets from environmental damage during transportation and storage. The outer layer is a flexible, water-resistant shrink film, while the inner layer is a soft, polyester nonwoven fabric that prevents scratches and pulls moisture away from your equipment. Our material comes in a variety of sizes and thickness options to address the protection needs of unique products across many industries, all based on Transhield’s original formula. From heavy-duty shrink wrap for large equipment to covers for individual products, Transhield delivers a cost-effective solution for product protection.
Protects Product Warranty
Covers keep products factory-fresh, reducing warranty claims by preventing damage during shipping and storage.
Ease of Use
Our technology simplifies protection. Just 1-2 people can install most Transhield covers, reducing labor costs and improving packaging efficiency.
Professional Product Appearance
Our custom-fit protective covers provide a sleek, wrinkle-free appearance during storage and transport, enhancing aesthetic appeal for your customers.
Saves Time
Faster application reduces maintenance hours and helps overcome packaging bottlenecks, saving time and money on the job site.
Water Resistant
Water-resistant fabric keeps interiors dry, significantly reducing the risk of corrosion and water damage from the elements.
Soft Interior
Protects Class A surfaces with a soft nonwoven layer that prevents scratches and absorbs moisture away from your equipment.
UV Protection
Reduces damage from UV rays, protecting rubber components, slowing paint wear, and preventing glass delamination.
Shrinkable
Our Shrinkable Fabric covers shrink to shape during the shrinking process when heat is applied. This creates a snug, aerodynamic fit for transportation while effectively repelling snow and water during storage.
Anti-Condensating
The nonwoven layer absorbs moisture, which is then pulled toward the outside of the cover, preventing condensation buildup that can lead to corrosion, mold, and mildew growth.
Protects from Environmental Degradation
Stands up to UV rays, rain, snow, dust, wind, and pollutants, reducing cleaning time and keeps your equipment protected.
Customizable Features
Can incorporate vents, zipper access doors, labeling, logo placement, and more to enhance cover ergonomics and accessibility for your specific application.
Optional Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI)
VCI technology forms a protective barrier on metal, inhibiting corrosion by 85%-95% for long-lasting protection.
Custom-Design & Fit
Our covers are meticulously designed to fit any equipment or container, regardless of shape or size, providing optimal protection for shipping and storage. We reinforce wear points and add cover accessories to increase ergonomics and functionality based on your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Custom shrink wrap is used to protect equipment and products during shipping and storage. Unlike standard plastic wrap or plastic bag packaging, Transhield’s shrink wrap material creates a custom-fit cover that conforms to your equipment’s exact shape. This provides superior product protection against moisture, UV rays, and environmental damage.
Using a heat gun or heat tool, the shrink film is heated until it conforms tightly to the shape of your equipment. This creates a snug, aerodynamic fit that repels water and snow while keeping your product secure during transportation or storage.
Transhield offers mil shrink wrap in 5-10 mil thickness options to meet the needs of different industrial applications. Thicker materials provide heavier protection for larger equipment, while thinner options work well for smaller or lighter products.
