Contract packing shrink wrap lines

Shrink wrapping line for contract packers handling varied packs

Contract packers often need flexibility across bottle packs, cartons, trays and promotional bundles. A sleeve sealer line should be assessed for changeover range, product handling and repeatable pack quality.

Flexibility requirements

Unlike a single-product production line, contract packing machinery may need to change between pack sizes, film widths and product types. This affects machine sizing and changeover planning.

Manual and automatic loading

Some contract packing projects use manual loading before the sleeve sealer, while others need conveyor-fed grouping and automatic handling.

Quote preparation

A list of expected pack sizes, product families and output targets helps identify whether one system can cover the requirement or whether options are needed.
