To provide a plastic wrap around your product, you can use different shrink wrap packaging machines that add a layer of protection to your items. Sealers act to enclose the product(s) within the packaging as it moves down your packaging line.
L-bar sealers form a seal on two sides of a packaged product using centerfold shrink film. They also seal the end of the package for the following product in the line. There are options for manual sealing through fully automated l-bar sealing machinery. These are good for bagging various single products or groups of products into a single package.
Side-seal machines seal the film around the product on the side. A belt guides the film through the machinery and around the product, with a bar sealing the front and back of the product using centerfold shrink film. These machines are good for packing products of any length at high speed.
Flow wrapping machinery pulls your film around a plow. It wraps around the product and seals on the bottom with heat or static. A seal bar comes down to create a seal in the front and back of the package to make a sealed bag around the product. Horizontal flow wrappers are ideal for suppliers of products, including candies and confections, bakery, electronics, hardware, and medical products. There are multiple types available to match your needs for throughput.
