What is Shrink Packaging or Shrinking

        Shrink wrapping machines heat to shrink the plastic film around the product. This process is usually done by automated equipment. Shrink wrapping machines cover items, which are then shrunk through a heat tunnel or oven. They are used in many different types of packaging, including aerosol containers, bags or pouches, blister packs, bottles or jars, cans, capsules, cartridges, boxes, cups or trays, drums or kegs, trays, tubes, Vials and other packaging containers. Professional and proprietary shrink-wrapping machines are also available for a variety of applications and industries. Although this process is often referred to as "shrink wrapping," some sources call it "Poly wrapping," which simply wraps it around the product without any application of heat.

        Shrink films used for packaging purposes shrink with the help of heat and form their packaged product form. Shrinking operation is applied with shrink machine and shrink film.


        In the first stage of the shrinking machine, it operates in a two-stage process called seam welding and the plastic film wrapped around the product to be packaged is stitched with the welding machine. The second stage consists of a tunnel that allows the shrink film to shrink by heating. This is called "shrink furnace, shrink tunnel, heat tunnel".
