The food and drinks industry is a large consumer of both shrink wrapping machines and materials. Shrink wrapping is used for both the primary presentation wrap for products such as confectionery as well as being used for transit packs.
Typically products despatched to the supermarkets arrive either in shelf ready packaging, shrinkwrapped trays of products or collated and wrapped loose without a tray. Shrink wrapping using either polyethylene or polyolefin can be used for all these packaging styles and the machinery selected depends greatly on the speed of the application and the strength of the protective packaging required.
A recent market development has been the requirement to package collations of drinks cans in printed film. To achieve this Wraps UK supplies machinery that uses a single roll of printed shrink film which is registered and precisely cut to length during the wrapping process.
Wraps UK supplies machinery for all forms of food and drink shrinkwrapping, with either collating systems for loose bottles and packs or in line production for pre loaded cardboard trays and shelf ready packs. The range of shrink packaging machinery allows for both manual, slow speed production up to high speed in line fully automatic product handling and wrapping systems.
