Shrink
Bundling, also known as sleeve wrapping, is generally used for packages
intended for storage, where appearance is not the primary concern. The bundles
are wrapped in polyethylene film to protect the goods while being shipped and
handled as they are puncture resistant and durable. The “bulls-eye” method is
the most popular type of shrink bundling where the ends are left open.
Saturn Packaging offers a variety of
Shrink Bundlers that can be custom designed to meet your specific requirements
with different infeed and collation options (inline product pushers, multi-lane
infeeds).
The main bundling steps are:
1. Infeed conveying
2. Collating/
grouping (optional, as some products are individually sleeve wrapped)
3. Wrapping
4. Sealing
5. Heating
6. Outfeed conveying
