Winterizing your boat: a crucial step for longevity
During winter, taking care of your nautical investment becomes a priority. It’s more than just a question of storage: it’s a series of essential procedures to keep your vessel in top condition. That’s why, at Ripack Supplies®, we offer innovative solutions to protect, store and transport your boat with confidence.
Quality shrink films for peace of mind
At Ripack Supplies® we are committed to providing high quality products to protect your boat during winter storage. Our Ripack® shrink guns ensure a fast and even application of shrink film, without wrinkles or bubbles, specifically designed for the needs of wintering boats. By choosing our products for this critical period, you are investing in the preservation and durability of your boat, with the peace of mind that your property is in safe hands.
Our large-width heat-shrinkable tarpaulins are carefully designed to meet the specific requirements of boat winter storage. They offer optimum shrinkage quality, providing reliable protection against the elements, UV rays, scratches, corrosion and dust. Our films are perfectly suited to all types of boat, from small pleasure craft to luxury yachts.
To meet your specific winter storage needs, we offer a range of sizes and thicknesses of heat-shrink film, with lengths from 30 to 50 metres and widths from 4 to 15 metres. In addition, we have wide-width films with specific properties, such as anti-UV or fire-resistant film (available to order), for protection tailored to your boat during the winter period.
The high quality of our films ensures bi-directional shrinkage and excellent weld strength, specially adapted to the requirements of boat winter storage. By choosing our products, you benefit from the guarantee of compliance with ISO 9001:2015 standards, as well as Bs1,d0 and M1 certifications, guaranteeing the quality and safety of your winter storage.
Our environmentally-friendly shrink films are made from high-quality LDPE (low-density polyethylene), offering reliable protection while minimising the impact on the environment. Today, we use almost 50% recycled materials on certain industrial shrink films, helping to preserve our planet.
