Retractable Plastic

Advantages

- Protects the goods from UV rays.
- It is a very strong material which prevents punctures and tears. This is especially important in cases where boxes have peaks or protruding parts.
- It can be used for grouping products, for transporting or storing products.
- It is thermally stable, so it does not shrink or deform at room temperature.
- Due to its resistance, the goods inside it arrive in perfect condition and can even be used immediately.
- It offers perfect traction and coupling to any load once heat is applied.
- It is waterproof, so the goods will be protected from humidity.
- It can even protect metals such as copper, aluminium, steel, brass, silver and nickel.
