What is a heat shrink band and how is it applied?
A heat shrink band is a pre-formed piece of plastic film and is an optional component. It is used to “tamper-proof” the can. It is the same thing you find on a mayonnaise jar. To apply it, use a heat gun (which we stock) or for low volume number, you may use a hair dryer. Start on the side of the can, keeping the heat gun moving at all times while holding it 3″- 5″ away from the film to avoid burning holes. Then finish off the top. Avoid starting at the top of the can as this will pull the film too high to seal the lid to the can.
