We are asked to do these projects because we have a proven track record, past customer support, and a portfolio we are not afraid to share with the world. Atlantic Shrink Wrapping Inc. completed each photo on this website in full.
You will see that all of our photos are watermarked with our logo (a rash of competitors have stolen our pictures for their sites and claimed the work as their own). We only advertise our work.
Our Partners Are Our Strength
ASI understands that to build a strong company, you must work closely with other strong companies. That’s why we teamed up with the largest shrink wrap supplier in the world.
Our supplier has millions of pounds of material on hand for immediate shipment. A single phone call can pack and ship materials to a remote location, with the shipment arriving ahead of our team. Then, we travel to the job site and complete the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is industrial shrink wrap, and how is it different from regular plastic wrap?
Industrial shrink wrap is a heavy-duty plastic film that we custom-fit to your item and then heat-seal. Unlike basic stretch wrap or pallet film, it shrinks to form a tight, drum-like 360-degree barrier that’s tear-resistant and weatherproof. It’s engineered to protect multi-million dollar assets from moisture, dust, UV rays, and corrosion during transport or long-term storage.
Can Atlantic Shrink Wrapping travel to my job site, or do I need to bring items to you?
We are a fully mobile service and bring our expertise and equipment directly to you. Our team has traveled to job sites across the U.S. and internationally, from remote military bases to busy industrial ports. We’ll coordinate with you to schedule an on-site assessment and installation at your convenience.
What industries do you typically work with?
We are specialists in protecting high-value assets for the military, energy sector (including nuclear power), aerospace, commercial and industrial manufacturing, and historic preservation. Our clients include the U.S. Department of Defense, GE, and private defense contractors. We bring the same precision to every project, no matter the industry.
Is shrink wrapping better than using a tarp for my equipment?
Yes, for serious protection, shrink wrap is superior. Tarps aren’t sealed, so they can trap moisture underneath and flap in the wind, damaging your equipment. Shrink wrap forms a custom-fitted, watertight seal that stays secure, protects against UV rays, and prevents corrosion, even during ocean transport.
What types of shrink wrap materials do you use, and how do I choose the right one?
We use high-quality films, including 12 mil flame-retardant for jobs with fire risks, BioShrink to prevent mold and mildew, and VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) film to stop rust on metal parts. During your consultation, we’ll assess your item’s specific needs and recommend the perfect material for your project.
Will shrink wrapping my item damage it or its paint?
We take great care to protect your item’s finish. Before wrapping, we ensure the surface is clean and dry. We also use padding and protective materials on sharp edges or delicate areas to distribute pressure evenly and prevent scratching or indentations. The shrink wrap itself is safe and will not harm your equipment.
How long will a shrink wrap cover last?
The lifespan depends on the material used and the environmental conditions. Our industrial-grade wraps are designed to withstand harsh weather, including rain, snow, and intense sun, for extended periods. We can advise you on the expected lifespan of your cover based on your specific project and timeline.
What is a VCI wrap, and do I need it?
VCI stands for volatile corrosion inhibitor. It’s a special type of shrink wrap that emits a vapor that protects metal surfaces from rust and corrosion, even in salty or humid environments. If you are shipping or storing metal equipment, especially for long distances or overseas, VCI film is highly recommended to prevent costly damage.
Why should I choose Atlantic Shrink Wrapping over other providers?
