Pallet heat shrink systems

A pallet shrink wrap system enables you to improve the stability of pallet loads, securing cartons and boxes to form a safe and secure load. As a heavyweight alternative to standard stretch pallet wrap, pallet shrink wrap allows you to safely secure even the most obscure shaped items to a pallet in preparation for shipping.

We stock two different types of heat shrink gun, Ripack and Kite branded, suitable for all kinds of warehousing and logistics operations. The guns are a heat source when applying shrink wrap to a pallet, when heat is given, the wrap begins securely hug and attach to the pallet, ultimately minimising movement of goods in transit. Because of the heating element involved, safety goggles and gloves are recommended when using the guns, and when you buy from Kite, these are included with the tool. We have tailored our heat shrink offering so that you can purchase all three elements including the gun, gas cylinder trolley and heat shrink wrap roll dispenser all in one place – we also stock several types of heat shrink wrap, including pallet covers.
