Sleeve Wrapping Equipment
Sleeve Wrappers
Sleeve wrapping systems are used to collate and secure multiple products into a single pack using shrink film. Widely used throughout food, beverage, household and industrial sectors, sleeve wrapping provides an efficient method of creating stable transit packs while reducing the amount of packaging material required.
Systems are available for a wide range of product formats, including bottles, cans, cartons, trays and multipacks, with machine configurations tailored to production speeds, pack formats and operational requirements.
Sleeve shrink wrapping is how most products are bundled together or wrapped to provide protection for transit purposes.
We can provide solutions for any product or any speed.
How Sleeve Wrapping Works
Sleeve wrapping systems collate products into a predefined pack configuration before applying shrink film around the outside of the group. The pack then passes through a heat tunnel where the film contracts tightly around the products, creating a stable and secure bundle.
The process is commonly used where products need to be grouped together for handling, storage, transport or retail distribution. Depending on the application, packs may be produced with or without a supporting tray.
Machine selection is typically influenced by product dimensions, pack configuration, throughput requirements and the level of automation required within the production environment.
Typical Sleeve Wrapping Applications
Sleeve wrapping is widely used for beverage multipacks, bottled products, canned goods, cartons, household products and a variety of industrial packaging applications.
The technology is particularly effective where products need to remain securely grouped during transportation and warehouse handling. By creating stable multipacks, sleeve wrapping systems can help improve logistics efficiency while maintaining product presentation throughout the supply chain.
Both tray-supported and trayless packaging formats can be accommodated depending on product requirements and distribution conditions.
Sleeve Wrapping Within Automated Packaging Lines
For higher throughput operations, sleeve wrapping equipment is often integrated into larger packaging systems incorporating product collation, case packing, palletising and warehouse handling processes.
Integrating sleeve wrapping into a wider production line helps maintain consistent throughput while reducing manual intervention. Systems can be configured with automatic product feeding, accumulation and pack handling equipment to suit specific production requirements.
Where complete line automation is required, sleeve wrapping systems can form part of a fully integrated turnkey packaging solution.
Sleeve wrapping is the industry standard for securely bundling products together for transit and storage.
