What information is needed for Shrink wrap machine sample testing?

Send product dimensions, photographs, target output, film preference, available utilities and how the pack will be loaded or transferred through the shrink wrapping process.

Can Lancing UK advise on the correct L sealer route?

Yes. Lancing UK can review pack size, film type, output target, footprint and line layout before recommending an L sealer, shrink tunnel or related shrink wrapping machine route.

Does the shrink tunnel need to be specified with the sealer?

For shrink wrapping, the tunnel should be matched to the sealer, film and product so the line can maintain the required output and finished pack quality.

What affects the final quotation?

The quotation depends on machine type, pack dimensions, automation level, film route, heat tunnel size, conveyors, installation requirements and support expectations.
