About Transhield Covers
Transhield is a patented alternative to packaging and protecting products from numerous elements during shipping and storage. Conventional packaging products can be abrasive or cause condensation, are difficult to work with and don't provide the strength needed to package or cover unique products. Furthermore, Transhield offers a unique, patented VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) called the AAD-VCI Delivery System. This provides premium corrosion protection in even the most corrosive environments
Three Layers of Protection
Transhield's outer layer is a special bright white polyethylene shrink/stretch film. The middle layer is a hot melt adhesive containing no solvents. The inner layer is a soft, cloth-like polyester material. The combination of these three products provides surface protection to even Class A automotive finishes during transportation. Transhield's unique non-abrasive composition protects from the elements during transportation and storage, without causing damage to the paint, gel coat or decals.
Environmentally Friendly
Because Transhield covers can be re-used year after year, they dramatically reduce the amount of material in our local dumps compared to traditional shrink wrapping which needs to be replaced year after year.
Save Money with Transhield Covers
Save Money with Transhield covers over the course of their 3-year estimated life span over both shrink wrapping and inside storage. We calculated the price of a transhield cover versus inside storage as well as the cost of shrink wrapping it each year and the savings with Transhield covers are evident.

*NOTE: All prices are based on an average price of $11/foot on Shrink Wrapping and the 2008 version of Mark's Marine's price sheet. Costs over 3 years for the transhield cover include the re-wrap fee
and an additional 2 foot margin for shrinkage and boat variance. These numbers indicate estimates only as prices change from year to year, however as the bulk of a Transhield cover's total cost is paid the first year, the diffrence is likely only to grow, not decrease.
