Pro-Tect's 7 mil boat and marine heat shrink wrap is widely used for packaging, storage and transport of boats and your other marine equipment. Our white boat shrink wrap film has 1 year UVI additives for Ultraviolet Resistance.
To choose the correct marine heat shrink wrap film width, you will need to measure down about 8" or more from the top of one side of your boat or other marine equipment to get your starting point, then measure up and over the width of the boat or marine equipment including everything that will be shrink wrapped and down the other side about 8" or more. For further instructions on wrapping other large objects see our blog post on wrapping large objects. After figuring out your boat or marine equipment measurement, you can match it to the closest width size roll of 7 mil heat shrink wrap. You may also be interested in how to shrink wrap boat video.
*Note: our heat shrink wrap materials are also able to be welded (heat seamed) to make larger widths if needed by using the Shrinkfast 200 (Formerly 998) Heat Gun Kit, Pro-Tect's heavy duty spray adhesive and Shrink Wrap Tape.
Choose the correct roll width
Choose the Right Boat Shrink-Wrap Roll Width
Measure over the highest point of the boat from below the rub rail on one side to below the rub rail on the other. Add enough material for fastening and heat seaming, then choose the next available roll width that comfortably covers that measurement.
| Roll width | Available lengths | Selection check |
|---|---|---|
| 14 ft | 100 ft or 200 ft | Confirm the measured cross-boat span plus fastening allowance fits within 14 ft. |
| 16 ft | 100 ft or 200 ft | Use when the required span exceeds 14 ft but remains within 16 ft. |
| 20 ft | 89 ft or 100 ft | Choose the roll length that covers the boat length plus end-closing allowance. |
| 26 ft | 100 ft | A wider option for larger beams or taller supported profiles. |
| 32 ft | 100 ft | Use only after confirming the full over-the-top measurement and handling requirements. |
| 40 ft | 149 ft | Designed for very large coverage needs; confirm dimensions and safe material handling before ordering. |
