Grouped pack shrink wrapping

Shrink wrap machine for multipacks

Multipacks and grouped products usually need a different shrink wrapping route from individual cartons. If the aim is to hold multiple items together for handling or transit, a sleeve sealer with a heat tunnel may be more suitable than a standard L sealer.

When to use a sleeve sealer

Grouped bottles, cans, cartons or trays.
Products that require a strong shrink sleeve rather than a fully enclosed bag.
Transit multipacks where strength is more important than full presentation wrapping.
Lines where product collation and infeed stability are critical.

When an L sealer is still suitable

If the multipack is boxed or tray-packed and needs a fully enclosed clear presentation wrap, an L sealer may still be the correct route. The decision depends on pack dimensions, weight and required finish.

Tunnel requirements

Grouped packs can need stronger film and careful tunnel control because the load is heavier and heat must shrink the sleeve evenly around multiple items.
