Shrink Wrapping Equipment: What It Does and How It Adds Value

Shrink wrapping equipment wraps products in plastic film, then applies heat to shrink the film tightly around the item. It’s widely used across industries like food, beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing because it’s fast, protective, and cost-effective.

What Does Shrink Wrapping Equipment Do?

• Wraps single items or multi-packs in shrink film (PVC, polyolefin, or polyethylene)

• Uses heat tunnels or L-bar sealers to tighten and seal the wrap

• Protects products from dust, moisture, and tampering

There are several types of shrink wrap machines, including:

• Manual shrink sealers: For low-volume operations

• Semi-automatic systems: A balance of speed and control

• Fully automatic systems: Best for high-speed packaging lines
