Transit pack shrink wrapping
Case and tray shrink wrapping can secure grouped products for handling without moving to a fully enclosed carton. Lancing can advise on sleeve wrapper and shrink tunnel routes for cartons, trays and transit packs.
This route can suit grouped cartons, trays, retail display packs and transit packs where PE film provides enough pack security.
The system needs to be sized around the widest and highest pack, while the conveyor arrangement must support the pack before, during and after the shrink tunnel.
Pack weight, operator loading, changeover frequency and discharge handling all influence the best machinery arrangement.

Quick answers
It may be possible where dimensions and handling requirements are compatible, but the practical range needs to be checked.
Most sleeve wrapped transit packs require a shrink tunnel to recover the film around the pack.
Heavy packs may need additional conveyor support, stronger film and careful discharge planning.
