Everything about bundle wrappers

If you’re searching for a cost-effective way and aesthetic look to wrap your products, Bundle Wrappers, also known as Sleeve Wrappers, offer a brilliant solution. 

These machines are designed to bundle products together, such as bottles, cans, and boxes, and then apply a protective sleeve or film around them. They are commonly used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics to enhance the efficiency of packaging processes. 

How Do Bundle Wrappers Work?

product grouping
Bundle wrappers operate by conveying products into the packaging area, where they are grouped into bundles.
forming bundles
The machine then applies a shrink film, creating a protective sleeve around the bundled products. Then it seals the edges of the film together to create a pouch around the product.
The bundle goes through a shrink tunnel to ensure the containment with intense heating. The film gets compressed and attached to the bundle of product and strengthened while cooling down.
