# Shrink sleeves for pallets of 80cm x 120cm x 80cm

## Shrink sleeves for euro and block pallets

These transparent shrink sleeves are suitable for pallets with a maximum size of 120cm long and 80cm wide and 80cm high. So a Euro pallet size with a height of 80cm. The shrink cover itself is larger and has the following dimensions: 127cm long and 2x44cm wide and 120cm. This way, the shrink cover can easily be placed over the pallet. The shrink covers have UV stabilisation of 1 to 2 years.

The shrink sleeves are biaxially shrinkable. That means they shrink in both length and width as soon as they are heated.

## When do you use shrink sleeves?

[Transparent shrink sleeves](en/wrapping-film-shrink-film-top-sheets-pallets/shrink-foil-and-shrink-pallet-coverssleeves) are often used when the following conditions apply:

- heavy pallet loads;
- pallets with many small packages;
- pallet loads that have to stand outside for a long time;
- unstable loads.

## How do you use a shrink cover?

You can simply place a shrink cover over a pallet and secure it with some [mini wrapping film](en/wrapping-film-shrink-film-top-sheets-pallets/stretch-film-wrap-film) if necessary. This can be handy when the pallet only needs to be covered for a short time. But as the name suggests, shrink sleeves are usually used to be shrunk around a pallet.

So how do you do that? To shrink a shrink cover, you have a few things like a gas bottle and a shrink gun. Now it sounds like a shrink gun means you have a mega appliance in your house, but that's not so bad. It can be compared to a hefty hair dryer.

- First, you put the cover over the pallet of products.
- Then connect the shrink gun to the gas bottle.
- When the shrink gun is on, you start with a test piece.
- From a distance, you move the shrinking gun ever so slightly closer to the pallet and sleeve until you see that the film reacts to the heat.
- At that point, you know from what distance the film can be shrunk and you can shrink the shrink sleeve tightly around the pallet.
- In the places where the shrink sleeve is folded in half, heat a little longer. But again, start carefully.
- If the film heats too long or gets too hot, the holes will fall in and the film will melt.
