What is a Shrink Packaging System?

Shrink packaging systems can range from table-top manual machines, to semi automatic machines and finally to high speed fully automatic machines.

There are two types of shrink wrap packaging. The first is shrink bundling. This uses a polyethylene shrink film and the product will be wrapped in a sleeve of shrink film leaving the two sides of the product open producing "Bulls Eyes". The second style of shrink packaging is referred to as overwrapping. This type of shrink packaging typically uses polyolefin shrink film and the product wrapped is completely captured in shrink film.

Benefits of shrink wrapping machines:

• High levels of protection: The extremely tight enclosure of shrink-wrapping safeguards the product from external elements, such as dust, moisture, and dirt.

• Durable: Shrink films used in shrink bundling machinery are made of resilient materials. An example is LDPE, which is sturdy but lightweight. Therefore, it's ideal for packaging applications.

• Versatile: Numerous demanding industries rely on shrink bundling machines to provide reliable packaging on a wide range of products often replacing expensive corrugated. Overwrap machines will wrap all kinds of consumer products and be placed directly on store shelves.

The irrefutable benefits of shrink-wrapping guarantee the protection of products. The right shrink packaging system can cater to your strict packaging requirement, eliminating costly damages to your goods during storage and transportation.

Typical Applications of Shrink Wrapping Machines

Many industries choose shrink-wrapping for their products to improve its defense capabilities against different external sources that can affect its quality, especially during long transportation. Here are some common applications for shrink wrapping machines:

• Food Industry: Shrink packaging is generally used in the food industry for packaging meat, dairy products, snacks, and more. A horizontal flow wrapper is also employed in these applications to create a tight seal on both ends.

• Cosmetics: Makeup and skincare are incredibly fragile, requiring tight wrapping to prevent their contents from getting damaged. Shrink-wrapping also keeps these products fresh and secure. 

• Construction: Different construction materials are shrink-wrapped through a horizontal wrapper to prevent damage during delivery to the construction site.

• Pharmaceuticals: Some pharmaceutical businesses utilize a shrink packaging to maintain medication and medical equipment sterilization and avoid contamination.

• Printing and publications: Newsprints, brochures, and other publications are commonly shrink-wrapped for bundling purposes.
