My only experience with shrink wrapping paper materials was some of my
personal library and humidity caused moisture to collect on the inside of
the wrap and damage some of the books.

Subject: [external]Question - Shrink Wrapping Records Boxes
Sent by: Records Management Program <[log in to unmask]>
Hello all in quiet Listserv land. An observation recently came up in a
facility audit of our offsite storage provider. The provider offers a
shrink wrap service for boxes to protect from water damage should the
sprinklers go off in the facility or a sprinkler head break. I really
don't know what to think about it. I like our boxes have access to some
air flow.
I am not sure in the event of a sprinkler activation it's worth the
expense or cost of having boxes shrink wrapped. I don't think I have read
anything about the pros/cons of doing this type of process. I also think
the history of most serious incidents in commercial storage facilities
would indicate wet records might be the least of the risks or problems to
address unless they are left to soak. The cost is $3.10 per box. I have
never been involved in an incident involving a sprinkler issue at
commercial storage vendor. It seems like a remote possibility especially
as most boxes are intermixed among clients reducing the risk. I am not
sold it's worth the time or cost with a beneficial return. I certainly
wouldn't shrink wrap boxes that might be called back. Does anyone have any
thoughts or information on this issue?
