An example of when making the right choice of sealer and shrink wrap system can save thousands of pounds and still prove a concept in packaging that uses a flexible shrink film such a Darnel polyolefin
The Reasons To Use A Simple Shrink Wrap Sealer
Following on from a recent article we have a perfect example of when the right time is to consider and use a simple shrink wrap system over a heat sealer and also why they can be hand in a products infancy to produce samples and establish that a market is there for their product.
We recently took a phone call from a producer of fine ready meals who wanted a way to package their meals for a new venture that was not going to cost the earth and would allow them to test the market with what would be the finished product.
A flow wrapping machine would be far far too expensive and the space was not available, a Chamber Shrink wrap machine would do the job but would it be outgrown quickly once the product came on line. The product required putting in a freezer proof bag through some sort of machine quickly and easily with low capital outlay to start with.
The simple and easy way was to use one of our manual shrink wrap sealers so that the edges of the pack where very neat and the bag could be made as tight as needed. Our simple food safe polyolefin shrink wrap film was used as it will withstand freezing down. From what they thought was going to be a capital investment of many thousands of pounds having to by an L Sealer or a Chamber shrink wrap machine we were able to help them get this product of the ground and into production very quickly with an outlay in the hundreds not the thousands.
When the numbers build as they will do very quickly then the next step will be on to our Semi Automatic l sealer (The Minipack Modular 50) as we know this machine has proven itself many many times in the food industries. The polyolefin film will carry through from the manual sealer and give great results on the l sealer. If at some point another new product needs shrink wrapping then the simply all we have to add is a shrink wrap tunnel.
All we had to do was apply the right sealer for the job and not use a heat sealer with a standard 2mm seal as this would not have not sealed the Polyolefin shrink wrap film or even the PVC Shrink film which would have been far to brittle in the freezer. If you have a sealing and shrink wrapping project or even a need to heat seal various materials then please give us a call and we will offer you the most cost effective solution we possibly can. We have a vast range of heat sealers and shrink wrap sealers that we can use as well as a vast array of pvc and polyolefin shrink wrap films. We can even produce you a custom made heat sealed bag with our layflat tube.
Why not give us a call and we can look at your shrink wrapping and cardboard shredding needs and try to offer the best solution and hope full save you money right from chamber shrink wrapping machine through to fully automatic l sealing machines and cardboard shredders
