Shrink Wrap Machine
Shrink wrap machines use heat to apply a plastic wrap layer around an object. Shrink wrap is a cost-effective solution for packaging large volumes of goods, such as those stored in pallets. Shrink wrap can replace more expensive boxes and containers.
Shrink wrap machines are used in packaging and can apply either shrink wrap or stretch films around a product. Shrink wrap contracts with the application of heat to fit tightly around the contours of a package. Because it has elastic memory, secure wrap returns to its original shape after being stretched.
Shrink wrap is used in many ways to help package products. It can be directly applied to the surface of the item, as with pallets, or it can be wrapped around boxes to ensure that they remain closed. Shrink wrap is also wrapped around Styrofoam blocks that protect delicate items while they travel.
