Plain PE film sleeve sealing
Plain film sleeve sealing is often chosen when the priority is pack security, handling strength and cost-effective wrapping rather than printed presentation. This route is common for bottle, can, tray and carton multipacks.
Plain PE film can provide practical transit protection and pack stability for grouped products without the complexity of printed film registration.
Film width, thickness and shrink properties should suit the maximum pack size, handling requirement and tunnel configuration.
The correct sleeve sealer setup depends on pack repeatability, guide positioning, sealing quality and tunnel dwell time.
