FAQ

Shrink wrap equipment specification checklist FAQs

What dimensions are needed for a shrink wrapping machine quote?

Provide the length, width and height of the largest product, and the size range if products vary.

Why does output affect machine choice?

Output determines whether a chamber sealer, semi automatic L sealer or automatic shrink wrapping line is more suitable.

Should I send product photos?
