When this search applies

Tendering for shrink wrapping machinery is easier when the product, output, utilities and support scope are clearly defined.

A tender should define the application, required output, product sizes, acceptance criteria, documentation and support expectations.

Ensure quotes include equivalent scope before comparing price. Tunnel, conveyors, delivery, installation and training may be treated differently.

Pack dimensions	Largest and smallest product sizes, pack weight, stability and whether products are single cartons, bundles or trays.
Required output	Target packs per minute, daily volume, shift length, changeover frequency and whether future output may increase.
Film and finish	Preferred shrink film if known, presentation requirements, seal position, retail display needs and barcode visibility.
Line layout	Available floor space, infeed method, conveyor height, power, compressed air and whether a shrink tunnel is needed.
