What is shrink wrap packaging?
Shrink wrap packaging is a fast inexpensive method of overwrapping any product in shape conforming, crystal-clear, strong plastic wrap. Shrink wrap is presently being used to wrap a broad variety of products ... candy boxes, videos, giftware, hardware items, toys, drugs, etc. It is not to be confused with blister packaging or skin packaging where a product such as a screwdriver is affixed to a cardboard backing!
How is shrink wrap packaging accomplished?
There are two distinct steps to shrink wrap packaging:
-
Overwrapping the product in the shrink film.
- Exposing the film to heat to cause the film to shrink.
True Production Shrink wrap packaging is accomplished with an "L" heat sealer and a conveyorized shrink tunnel, for lower production a single arm "bar" sealer and a shrink gun can be utilized to produce identical results at slower production rates.
What type of film is used?
Centerfold shrink film is utilized. When shrink wrap is manufactured basically it is stretched like an elastic band, when heat is applied the film returns to it's original size. "Centerfold" refers to the fact that the film when made is folded in half so that there are two sheets with a folded edge along the back of the roll. This type of film is readily available throughout the world.
