The print and paper industries use shrink wrapping machines for both presentation and transit wrapping purposes. The types of products wrapped range from collations of envelopes through to stacks of magazines for distribution.
Many print work customers specify that the finished printed products, be they loose leaf exercise books, business forms or large format calendars are protected at point of sale. L-sealing machines are ideal for handling the large size range of products produced and for providing a completely enclosed overwrap. The use of special property, low shrink polyolefin films ensures that no curl is imparted into the product during the wrapping process. For very low speed applications a low cost chamber machine is ideal whilst a side sealer shrink wrapping machine is capable of speeds up to 60 wraps per minute.
For magazine production two reel sleeve wrapping machines are often used to overwrap the stacks of magazines or books. By using wide film and special shrink tunnel venting it is possible to completely enclose the polyethylene wrapped pack. Wraps UK supplies both low speed, hand fed machines as well as fully integrated 30 packs per minute systems.
