Question:

“You have so many different shrink wrap machines on your website. How do I find the one I need?”

Answer:

Locating the right shrink wrap machine for you may seem like a difficult task. You should first do a little research on the different types of shrink wrap systems in order to make an informed decision. After you know what is available, you can then ask yourself some basic questions and then Rochman Captain 238 Shrink Wrap Machinedetermine the machine you need.

Shrink wrap machines are broken up into two categories. There are I-Bar shrink wrap machines and L-Bar machines. I-bar shrink wrap machines use a single bar to cut film. These machines usually require at least two passes to completely encapsulate a product within the shrink film. A heat gun is often used to shrink the film around the product. I-bar shrink wrap systems are good for low- to mid-volume shrink wrapping jobs.

L-bar shrink wrap systems use an L-shaped bar to cut film around a product. These machines only require one pass of the arm to fully encapsulate a product in film. A heat gun can be used with a stand-alone machine, but most L-bar sealers include a tunnel. Shrink tunnels evenly distribute heat around a product for fast shrink wrapping. These machines are designed for mid- to high-volume shrink wrapping.

Now that you know a little about shrink wrap machines, you will want to ask yourself some basic questions:

  • What will you be shrink wrapping?
  • How many products will I shrink wrap per day?
  • How many people will be using the machine?
  • Where do you want to use the machine?
