Why books suit L sealing

Books are usually regular in shape, which helps film control and tunnel consistency. The main checks are product thickness range, film tension, seal placement and whether the wrap needs to protect against handling marks.

  • Suitable for books, catalogues and printed packs
  • Clear presentation wrap and dust protection
  • Semi automatic or automatic route possible
  • Film and tunnel settings matched to product thickness

Manual, semi automatic or automatic

Low-volume book wrapping may use semi automatic equipment. Higher repeat work may justify automatic transfer into a tunnel, especially when the books are uniform in size.

Film and finish

A clear POF film is often used for a smart finish, but film gauge, perforation and tunnel dwell need testing to avoid distortion or loose corners.
