We all know that it is crucial to vent shrink wrap covers to allow air into the cover and eliminate moisture and mildew from forming. If you are in an area that is very humid or have an object that is prone to moisture buildup, you may want to look into using some of our mildew and moisture control products for added protection. Our VCI products work excellent when shipping or transporting shrink wrapped equipment or machinery.

Dr. Shrink, Inc. Introduces New Pink Shrink Wrap to Product Line While Raising Awareness for Breast Cancer Research

Dr. Shrink, Inc. recently introduced a new color of shrink wrap to their product line; their new bright pink shrink wrap has been featured and displayed at events in Manistee, Michigan (location of Dr. Shrink headquarters) in hopes to support breast cancer awareness as well as a local Relay for Life supporting all cancer awareness and research.

On June 11, Dr. Shrink, Inc. President/CEO, Mike Stenberg and VP of Sales/Marketing, Ryan Polcyn shrink wrapped a new car at a local Ford Dealership; Manistee Ford was putting on their annual “Pink Out” Classic Car Show for the 7th year to gain awareness for breast cancer research. A portion of all used cars sales during the month of June were donated and the proceeds went to the local hospital, West Shore Medical Center’s commitment to the early detection of breast cancer.

The shrink wrapped car not only stood out in color at the car show, but also turned into a guessing game at the event. Spectators were entered into a raffle by correctly guessing what kind of vehicle was wrapped underneath the pink cover– it was a brand new Ford Fusion, but many guesses were for Ford Focus and Ford Mustang.

Rob Pepera, Sales Manager at Manistee Ford states, “This was our 7th year for the car show and so far we have raised over $15,000 in those 7 years. This year so far we have added about $3,400. For the “Pink Out” car show, the fee was $10 for each car that registered and we had just over 100 cars. We also had raffle tickets for prizes that local businesses donated and a corn-hole game, as well as food and drinks. The “Guess the Car” shrink wrap contest was very popular. The shrink wrapped car turned out to be a featured attraction not just for passersby of the dealership on the busy highway, but inside the event as well as people were drawn to the car and started signing the pink cover. We are planning to keep the car wrapped in pink shrink wrap until the end of June; it has gained a lot of attention in our lot and we hope to raise more money for breast cancer research.”

Dr. Shrink also shrink wrapped and decorated the company bus in the new pink material which was driven in the local 4th of July parade. Dr. Shrink staff and other volunteer parade walkers handed out information on the local Relay for Life while the bus was decorated with slogans such as, “Let’s throw cancer under the bus” and “There is a CAN in cancer because we CAN beat it” in addition to writings of survivor names. Pink is the color of breast cancer awareness, and the company is also proud to support all cancer research by partaking in Relay for Life of Manistee County at the end of July. Dr. Shrink has registered a team in the event, The Shrink Walkers, and will be walking for 24 hours.

Dr. Shrink, Inc. stocks pink shrink wrap in two sizes—14’ x 128’ and 17’ x 110’ both in 8-mil material. Dr. Shrink, Inc. is a full-service, full-circle supplier of premium shrink wrap and all installation supplies and accessories. In addition to shrink wrap in sizes up to 60′ wide, it also offers heat tools, adhesives, zipper access doors and venting.

"Pink Out" Classic Car Show – Breast Cancer Awareness

A couple weeks ago, Mike and Ryan were hard at work shrink wrapping a car for our local Ford Dealership who had their annual “Pink Out” Classic Car Show. A portion of the used car sales were donated and the proceeds went to the local hospital, West Shore Medical Center’s commitment to the early detection of breast cancer. They wrapped the car for a guessing game to see if anyone could guess what kind of vehicle it was. It was a brand new Ford Fusion, but they had a lot of guesses for the Ford Focus and the Ford Mustang.

We talked with Rob Pepera from Manistee Ford and he said, “This is our 7th year for the car show and so far we’ve raised over $15,000 and we’ve added about $3,400 more this year. It was $10 for every car to be in the show and we had just over 100 cars. It was a great turn out. We had raffle tickets for prizes that local businesses donated and a corn hole game set up as well as food and drinks. The shrink wrapped car turned out to be a featured attraction once people started signing it. We’re planning on keeping it wrapped until the end of June and hope to raise some more money for a great cause.”

We have two sizes of our pink shrink wrap available – 14′ x 128′ 8mil and 17′ x 110′ 8mil. Just imagine all the things that you can wrap that will grab the attention of people with this bright, show-stopping pink!

Need a reinforced, non-tearing material? Try our DuraSkrim®

DuraSkrim® Reinforced Film

Dura-Skrim® is an ultra heavy-duty wrap designed for projects that need a strong, non-tearing material. Dura-Skrim® is reinforced and ridged with a diamond pattern. The reinforced material has an unyielding design that provides heavy-duty protection. It is available in either white Flame Retardant or clear Non-Flame Retardant.
Dura-Skrim® consists of two sheets of high-strength virgin film laminated together with a third layer of molten polyethylene (the molten layer of polyethylene renders it unshrinkable – as such, it resists heat and is resilient in a way shrink wrap is not). A heavy-duty scrim reinforcement placed between these piles greatly enhances tear resistance and increases service life.
*Can be seamed or heat welded together with a propane fired heat tool*
DuraSkrim® 2 (non-flame retardant, 6-mil) is used for temporary applications that require a lightweight yet highly tear-resistant film such as building enclosures and abatement applications.
DuraSkrim® 2FR (flame retardant, 6-mil) is used in applications that require a fire-retardant material, and demand high puncture and tear strengths.
Other Common Application for DuraSkrim®:
– Building Enclosure
– Construction Enclosures
– Vapor Barrier
– Temporary Liner or Cover
– Erosion Control
– Shipping and Packaging
– Asbestos Abatements
– Fumigation Cover
– Temporary Wall
– Remediation Cover
CLEAR DURA SKIM
Non-Flame Retardant, 20′ x 100′ clear 6-mil
(DURA-SKRIM-2 20X100)
Dura Skrim

Flame Retardant, 20′ x 100′ white, 6-mil
(DURA-SKRIM-2FR-20X100)
*DuraSkrim® 2FR meets or exceeds NFPA’s 701 test*
All panels are accordion folded and tightly rolled on a heavy-duty core for ease of handling and time saving installation. Please call us for your sizing and application needs.

June is National Safety Month

Week 2
Dr. Shrink stocks a variety of propane fired heat tool options to fit your needs. The quality of your chosen heat tool is almost as important as the quality of the shrink wrap used. We are proud to supply popular models with several different safety features in mind. Take a look at our featured heat tools below — the Shrinkfast 998 and Ripack 3000.

Shrinkfast 998 Heat Tool

The Shrinkfast 998 Heat Tool is our most used and most recommended heat tool. For consumers, the UL certification mark provides an increased confidence level in the quality and safety of the Shrinkfast products they use at work or in their home.
For businesses, the UL certification mark displays the Shrinkfast products’ high regard and commitment to safety. This reassures Safety Managers, Safety Committees, OSHA and other safety bodies that the appropriate processes, techniques and training can be developed around Shrinkfast heat tools and accessories.
Attaining the UL certification indicates that the Shrinkfast products you are using are held to a set of safety standards including product validation, testing, inspection, and auditing. The on-going, third party safety analysis ensures that Shrinkfast products are held to the highest quality standards in the hand-held, heat tool market. The end result is a safe, powerful, Shrinkfast product that the user can depend on project after project.
The Shrinkfast 998 comes in a complete kit with these safety features built into it:
• “Dead man” trigger that shuts off the flow of propane if the heat tool is dropped
• UL approved hose that can withstand a pull test of up to 300 PSI
• UL approved regulator assembly with an excess check valve that prevents a gas leak if the hose should get cut or damaged
• A “cool” combustor that prevents the user from getting burned if they accidentally touch the combustor
• Built in the USA

Ripack 3000 Heat Tool

Constantly focusing its investments on research and development, RIPACK® ensures that is can supply its customers with innovative, high quality products.
The Ripack 3000 comes in a complete kit with these safety features built into it:
• The stainless steel combustion nozzle remains cold even during intensive use
• The design of the aluminum body forbids any obstruction of the diverse air inlets and the pressure regulator (SECURIPACK) has a double secutiry
• The Ripack’s components are systematically protected from shocks, heat and/or tearing
• The nozzle rotates 360° and the gas connector swivels as well
• Safe and convenient hanger ring when the tool is not in use
Dr. Shrink is an authorized Shrinkfast heat tool repair facility and can also repair a variety of different heat tool brands and models. Our repair facility stocks a wide variety of heat tool parts. We have a heat tool technician on staff that can answer any questions you have in regards to your heat tool, as well as having it sent in for a tune-up or repairs.
Please keep in mind the appropriate safety related items you’ll need to use with your propane fired heat tool such as safety glasses and safety gloves. Always watch the training DVD that comes with your heat tool.
If at anytime you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact us either by phone at 800.968.5147 or email us.
