If you're producing or co-packing bug spray or insect repellent aerosol cans, chances are your customers want them in value packs, bundled, branded, and shelf-ready. But these products bring unique packaging challenges. They're pressurized, flammable, and tightly regulated, which means a standard shrink wrapper won’t cut it.
To get it right, you’ll need a shrink wrap machine for aerosol can multipacks that’s built for both safety and presentation.
Why Safety Comes First with Aerosol Shrink Wrapping
Insect repellents typically come in aerosol form, often using propane, butane, or alcohol-based propellants. These cans require special care during packaging to prevent fire risk or product failure.
A proper system should be:
Heat-free: Avoids open flames or high-temperature tunnels
Certified safe: UL-listed for use with flammable products
Gentle on cans: No crushing or valve distortion during bundling
Compatible with printed film for branded value pack formats

Make Your Value Packs Retail-Ready with Printed Film
Whether you're preparing 2-packs, 3-packs, or 4-packs of bug spray for big-box stores, your packaging needs to hold up in transit and catch attention on the shelf.
A club pack shrink wrap machine for insect repellent should help you:
Bundle securely with tight, no-slip seals
Handle steel or aluminum cans without damage
Use printed shrink film to promote your brand and product claims
Stay compliant with aerosol packaging safety regulations
