Bundle stability

Loose or unstable products can move during sealing and tunnel transfer. The infeed, film support and grouping method should be checked.

Full enclosure or sleeve wrap

If a fully enclosed pack is required, an L sealer route may be suitable. If open ends are acceptable for grouped packs, sleeve sealing may be better.

Output planning

Bundled products often involve collation before wrapping. The collation process can become the bottleneck if not considered.
