A shrink wrap machine is based on the application of a film, namely a film made with a combination of polypropylene and polyethylene which, at high temperatures, shrinks to adhere perfectly to the body of the product.
This technology offers a series of advantages which make it particularly functional for packaging any kind of product:
- Versatility: shrink wrap film can be used on any type of package. Special shrink wrap films are designed for food packaging, while other types are suitable for packaging non-food products. The shrink capacity of the film allows it to adhere to products of any shape and size.
- Protection: on a shrink wrap machine, the film is completely wrapped around products and provides a protective barrier that helps keep them intact and clean.
- Water tightness: the film used by shrink wrap machines is waterproof. Accordingly, the products are always protected against rain and humidity. Also, especially for fruit and vegetables, special antifog films are used, which prevent the formation of condensation and therefore fogging of the package.
- Strength: although it feels soft, shrink wrap film is strong and easily supports the stress of transport and storage.
- Aesthetics: shrink wrap machines guarantee the best aesthetic yield of the packaged products. In fact, these machines create uniform packages, very pleasing to the eye. It is no coincidence that shrink wrap machines are among the most commonly used for packaging in many industrial sectors.
