Kutistekääreet

Kutistekääreet, also known as shrink wrap or shrink film, are a type of plastic film that, when heated, shrinks tightly around an object. This property makes them useful for packaging, protection, and bundling. The film is typically made from polymers like polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC, and its thickness can vary depending on the application. When heat is applied, usually through a heat gun or shrink tunnel, the material's internal tension causes it to contract. This process conforms the film to the shape of the item it encases, creating a secure and often tamper-evident seal.

The applications of kutistekääreet are widespread. They are commonly used to protect products during shipping and storage, preventing damage from moisture, dust, and abrasion. In retail, they are employed to bundle multiple items together, such as beverage cans or boxes of tissues, making them easier to handle and display. They can also be used to create custom-fit covers for irregularly shaped objects or to seal containers. The clarity of some shrink films allows the product inside to be visible, while opaque versions can be used for branding or light protection. The ease of application and cost-effectiveness have made kutistekääreet a popular choice across many industries.
