What is a sleeve wrapping machine?
A sleeve wrapping machine applies a layer of shrink film around products or grouped items, leaving open ends (“bullseyes”) before passing them through a heat tunnel to shrink the film tightly around the contents.
What materials are compatible with sleeve wrap machines?
Our machines typically use polyethene (PE) shrink film, which provides durability and strength for individual and multipack applications. Compatibility depends on your specific requirements; our team will help you choose the most suitable option.
Are your machines suitable for high-speed production?
Yes. Both BVM and Smipack machines can be configured for high-speed, continuous operation. Fully automated models are ideal for businesses with demanding throughput targets.
Do you offer machine installation and training?
Absolutely. Our expert engineers handle complete installation, setup, and operator training to ensure a smooth transition and optimal performance from day one.
Can I see a machine before buying it?
Yes. We encourage you to book a demo at our Lancashire showroom. Bring your product along, and we’ll demonstrate the machine in action, tailored to your specific needs.
