Shrink Film Sealing Machine
A Shrink Film Sealing Machine, also referred to as a Shrink Wrap Sealer, is a cutting-edge device that expertly wraps and shrinks a plastic film around a product, enabling streamlined packaging and enhanced product protection.
The process of this machine involves utilizing a heated element or wire to create a seal around the product, followed by heat application to shrink the plastic film tightly around the item, resulting in a safe and tamper-proof packaging.
Shrink Film Sealing Machines come in various models, including manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic options. They can be utilized as standalone units or seamlessly integrated into a broader packaging system for optimal functionality.
Sealing bar: A scorching sealing bar that expertly envelops the product with a tight seal, ensuring its preservation and protection within the packaging.
Shrink tunnel: A shrink tunnel is a thermal sanctuary that employs heat to embrace the product snugly with plastic film, culminating in a streamlined and sleek appearance.
Conveyor system: A dynamic product transportation solution, a conveyor system propels goods seamlessly through the sealing and shrinking stages.
Precision Heat Management: Tailored temperature regulation system for the flawless sealing and shrinking procedure.
Safety features: Shielding the operator and the machine from potential harm is critical. Safety mechanisms like emergency stop buttons, protective barriers, and sensors that avert injuries or damages are indispensable.

Full wrap vs. Partial wrap
A Quick Comparison: full wrap machines provide complete protection and a polished look, while partial wrap machines offer targeted wrapping and cost savings.
Full wrap
A full wrap is a packaging method where the entire product is covered with shrink film, which is then sealed and shrunk using a shrink packing machine. This creates a tight, secure package that fully covers the product. Examples of products that can be packaged with a full wrap include CD cases, books, and individual food items like candy bars or cookies.
Partial wrap
Bull’s eye wrap, also known as partial wrap, is a popular packaging method for products like water bottles and trays that require both protection and display. The shrink film is tightly wrapped around the product, leaving the sides partially exposed to showcase the product inside. The film is then sealed on the top and bottom, creating a clear “bull’s eye” effect that highlights the product. This packaging method ensures stability and protection while allowing easy handling and transport of the product.
L bar wrapper vs. Side seal wrapper vs. Sleeve wrapper
A Quick Overview: each type of wrapper has its own unique advantages and is best suited for different types of products and packaging needs.
L bar wrapper (FQL series)
An L bar wrapper seals products with precision using an L-shaped sealer, leaving a neat flap on one end. This type of wrapper is ideal for products that are stacked or bundled, as it allows for easy and efficient packaging. L bar wrappers can be automated, providing fast and reliable packaging for a wide range of products.
Side seal wrapper (FQB series)
A side seal wrapper forms a secure package by sealing the product within a film on both sides. The film is wrapped around the item and then sealed, with excess material trimmed away. Side seal wrappers offer versatility in terms of package size and shape, making them a popular choice for a variety of industries.
Sleeve wrapper (XK series)
A sleeve wrapper is a packaging machine that encloses a product with a pre-cut or continuously-fed film, creating a sealed package with both ends of the product exposed. The film is wrapped around the product and sealed at both ends, providing protection and tamper-evident features. The excess film is then trimmed off. A sleeve wrapper is commonly used for packaging bottles, cans, and other cylindrical or rectangular products.
