Water bottle multipack wrapping

Water bottle multipack machine for PE shrink wrapped packs

Water bottle packs are a common sleeve sealing application because the finished bundle needs to be secure, repeatable and easy to handle. This page covers the information needed to specify a water bottle multipack machine route.

Typical pack formats

Water bottle multipacks may be arranged in two-by-two, three-by-two, four-by-three or other collations. The sleeve wrapper must maintain pack formation before the film is sealed and shrunk.

Output and handling

The specified packs per minute, line speed and existing conveyor arrangement determine the infeed and discharge layout. Good product control before the sealer reduces skewed or loose packs.

Quote preparation

A useful enquiry includes bottle size, filled pack weight, pack pattern, film preference and a sketch of the available space around the filling or packing line.

What machine is used for water bottle multipacks?

A sleeve wrapper or automatic sleeve sealer with a shrink tunnel is commonly used for water bottle multipacks where PE film is required.

Is the shrink tunnel part of the system?

In many projects the heat tunnel is specified with the sleeve sealer because it creates the final shrink finish and pack stability.

Can bottle packs be produced without cartons?

Yes, trayless or pad-supported shrink wrapped packs can reduce carton use when the pack design and handling route are suitable.
