Small product wrapping

Shrink wrap machine for small products

Small products can be efficient to shrink wrap, but light packs can move during film handling and tunnel transfer. The correct machine should stabilise the product while using film that is not oversized.

Product control

Small and light products need guides, careful loading and appropriate film tension to avoid twisting or moving before the seal.

For kits, small boxes and accessories
Compare chamber and L sealer routes
Avoid oversized film
Check product stability through the tunnel

Machine options

Chamber sealers can suit very low volume work. Compact L sealers and tunnels suit repeat packing. Automatic L sealers suit higher throughput when products are consistent.

Pack finish

Small products often show film waste more clearly, so film width and tunnel settings need particular attention.
