Ripack Supplies presents itself as a solution for protecting, wrapping and containing large volumes and buildings thanks to a heat-shrink system.
These films are designed for different uses, such as:
• protecting a yacht over the winter,
• protecting aircraft from bad weather,
• covering large industrial equipment.
In all these cases, the heat-shrink cover creates a protective envelope around whatever you want to secure.
Winter storage: effectively protecting boats
Ripack Supplies offers solutions specifically designed for winter storage and transport of boats. The shrink film acts like a second skin: the cocoon created forms a sealed bubble that protects the boat during transport or winter lay-up.
This cocoon provides protection against:
• climatic aggressions (wind, snow, rain),
• sun damage to the hull and upholstery, thanks to the UV-resistant treatment of the films used.
The films used for winter storage or boat protection are described as a protective envelope that limits corrosion, protects paintwork and sensitive surfaces, and reduces cleaning operations before putting the boat back into service.
Aircraft wrapping: protecting large sensitive volumes
Ripack Supplies heat-shrink covers are particularly well-suited to wrapping large, sensitive volumes such as aircraft. They can, for example:
• protect an aircraft parked outside during a period of immobilisation,
• secure parts of an aircraft during exceptional transport,
• cover certain areas of the aircraft over the long term during maintenance or refurbishment work.
Thanks to bi-axial shrinkage, the film tightens in both directions and closely follows the contours of the fuselage to create a genuine cocoon around the aircraft. This cocoon forms a continuous envelope that helps keep the aircraft protected from the weather, dust and dirt throughout the storage or intervention period.
Long-term protection for large volumes and oversized products
Ripack Supplies positions itself as a specialist in large-format and high-volume packaging.
Heat-shrink films make it possible to protect and wrap oversized products effectively. They offer:
• perfect watertightness,
• a reduction in the risk of damage during storage or transport.
In practical terms, the films are available in large widths, from 4 to 15 metres, with thicknesses from 180 to 210 microns depending on the width, in order to cover large volumes.
Accessories: letting the boat or equipment breathe
For long-term storage under film, Ripack Supplies offers self-adhesive ventilation grills and zip doors.
The aim is to:
• allow air renewal under the film,
• avoid bad odours, humidity and mould,
• ensure ventilation of the boat and equipment under shrink protection, particularly during long-term storage,
• make access to the equipment easier.
In summary: when should you use a Ripack Supplies heat-shrink cover
According to the official documentation, Ripack Supplies heat-shrink covers are particularly recommended when you need to:
• protect a boat during transport or winter storage,
• encapsulate a building or roof under construction,
• cover large industrial equipment or oversized products,
• ensure watertightness and limit damage,
• manage long-term storage with an appropriate ventilation system.
