A shrink wrap machine applies a sealable film around a product, then uses heat to conform the film tightly to the item. The result is a clear, tamper-evident wrap that protects against dust and scuffs while enhancing shelf appeal. Systems range from compact sealers paired with a heat shrink tunnel to fully integrated, high-throughput lines. Because every product and environment is different, we help you narrow choices to match package size range, desired speeds, and operator workflow.
If you’re evaluating the difference between unit overwrap and pallet containment, see our related page on Stretch Wrap & Film at stretch-wrap-film.
A heat shrink tunnel provides consistent, controllable heat to achieve tight, even film conformity around your product after sealing. Tunnel settings are typically tuned to your package size, film type, and conveyor speed to balance appearance and throughput. Whether you’re packaging single items, multipacks, or trays, pairing a sealer with the right tunnel is key to repeatable results and fewer reworks.
Choosing shrink wrapping equipment starts with your products and process. We’ll look at:
Minimum/maximum dimensions and weights
Clarity requirements and graphics placement on any labels or inserts
Desired puncture resistance and scuff tolerance
Current and target rates, including batch vs. continuous flow
Power, ventilation/heat considerations, and floor layout
