Heat Shrink Tunnels

At Adpak, we supply a market-leading range of heat shrink tunnels engineered for consistent, high-performance shrink wrapping across various products. Whether you’re packaging food items, printed media, pharmaceuticals or industrial goods, our shrink tunnel machines integrate seamlessly into your production line to deliver a uniform, secure and professional finish every time.
What Is a Heat Shrink Tunnel?
A heat shrink tunnel, also known as a shrink tunnel machine, applies controlled heat to wrapped products, causing shrink film to conform tightly around the shape of the item. After passing through the tunnel, the result is a smooth, tamper-evident, and aesthetically appealing package that’s shelf, and transit-ready.

Compatible with polyolefin and polyethene films, our heat shrink machines are suitable for various industries and can be configured for varied film types, sizes and throughput requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a shrink tunnel and a shrink wrap machine?

A shrink wrap machine (or sealer) applies the film around a product, while the heat shrink tunnel applies heat to shrink the film tightly around it. Both are usually part of a complete shrink wrapping line.

Can your heat shrink tunnels handle different film types?

Yes. Our machines support a variety of films, including polyolefin, polyethene and PVC shrink film. Settings can be easily adjusted for optimal performance.

Do I need a specific tunnel for food products?

We offer heat shrink tunnels made from stainless steel, designed for washdown environments. These tunnels are ideal for food, and hygiene-sensitive applications.

What throughput can your shrink tunnels support?

Our shrink tunnel range supports everything from low-volume operations to high-speed, fully automated production lines. Based on your requirements, we’ll recommend the right model.

Can I try a shrink tunnel before making a purchase?

Yes. We offer in-house demonstrations and trials, helping you see how our heat shrink machines perform with your actual products and films.
