Shrink wrapping is a process that involved the application of temperature sensitive films. What heat is applied to the film it shrinks tightly to whatever it is covering. Shrink wrapping equipment is available for a variety of product sizes and in both automatic and semi-automatic formats.
At Crawford Packaging, we can help you find the right shrink wrap machine that is tailored to your operation’s unique needs.
Automatic L Sealers use a conveyor fed automatic operation that can process up 20 to 35 packages a minute. Soft feed conveyors carry products into the system and places them inside the folded shrink film.

Semi-Automatic L-Sealers need an operator to place the product inside the folded over shrink wrap film. The operator then lowers the sealing arm which applies heat forming the final side and end seal.
Automatic side seal shrink wrap machines are high speed continuous motion shrink packagers. A conveyor system moves products through the machine while mechanical arms trim and seal the shrink film. The continues pace allows for faster pack times and in-feed systems ensure the right amount of shrink film is applied.
Shrink tunnels are the heart of shrink wrap systems. Shrink tunnels move products along conveyor systems while maintaining an even consistent temperature. This improves the shrink wrap process allowing for equal wrap application around the entire product.

Shrink Bundling machines use a horizontal sealing arm to wrap trays of products like cans. A Shrink Bundler is a great secondary packaging application for finished products ready for unitization.

Shrink wrap machines offer a faster, hands-free alternative to manual shrinking, using conveyors and tunnel technology for even, efficient results.
Shrink wrap machines reduce fire and burn risks by replacing open-flame heat guns with enclosed, safety-equipped shrink tunnels.
Shrink systems feature a sealer and tunnel that can be arranged to fit your space. Shrink wrapping also minimizes package size, boosting packaging efficiency.
