What Is Shrink Film Tubing and How Does It Work?
Shrink film tubing is a roll of flat plastic tubing that is shrinking wrapped. Sleeves are frequently cut from shrink film tubing. Shrink sleeves are the name for these sleeves. The sleeves are the ones that are utilized to package the goods. Heat seal tubing, poly tubing, and high-speed tubing are all names for shrink film tubing. Plastic is used to make shrink film tubing.
Shrink tubing is available in a range of roll lengths to meet the needs of various production levels. It may be used with either manual or automated shrink wrappers. The low shrink rate of PVC shrink tubing (200°F-250°F) aids in rapid and easy sealing. It provides a 40 percent overall shrink rate in all aspects.
We propose using a hand impulse sealer with a sharp edge and a heat gun to wrap shrink tubing packages for low-volume applications. Consumers can use the blade to wrap the products and remove the extra film from the roll side of the tube, leaving the end free for inserting additional item.
Shrink Film Tubing's Most Usual Functions & Applications
Shrink film tubing is used for a variety of consumer products packaging. Bottles, polls, rods, and other items may be among them. Shrink film tubing may be customized to match specific color needs. Graphics can be placed on shrink film tubing for marketing purposes. For some food packaging applications, shrink film tubing is a common choice. Shrink film tubing may be seen on things like iced tea containers and BBQ sauce jars. Cleaning and household products are also made with shrink film tubing. Detergent is one of them.
Shrink tubing is useful for enclosing cylindrical items or bundling several goods. Shrink tubing is commonly used to wrap containers and tubular objects. Shrink tubing has the same advantages as shrink wrap bags, but with the added benefit of being able to adjust the length of the tube.
Shrink Film Tubing: How to Use It
When a packing line operator wishes to package anything in shrink film tubing, they grasp the roll's end first. They then cut a certain length of tubing from the roll. They now trim the tubing to the size necessary for the packaging of the product. The controller will next insert the item into the tube that has been cut into a sleeve (also known as a container). A sealer is then used to seal each open side of the sleeve. The packed goods are now placed in a heat chamber. The tube shrinks around the item within the tunnel.
A tabletop sealer can be used to package low-volume applications (10-30 containers per minute). A heat gun or a heat tunnel can be used to seal these items. Automated sealers are frequently used in high-volume applications (200-300 containers per minute). The tube will be shrunk utilizing a heat tunnel instead of a heat gun for high-volume applications.
Is Shrink Film Tubing Appropriate For My Product?
You'll need to answer a few questions before choosing if shrink film tubing is acceptable for packing your items.
Do your items have an oblong or elongated shape? - Shrink film tubing is a suitable choice for your packaging material if you answered yes. Curtain rods, for example, are frequently packed in shrink film tubing.
Is it necessary for customers to smell your goods? - Shrink tubing is not a suitable choice for packing products that release a fragrance (such as scented candles or bath bombs). Perforated shrink film would be the greatest option in this case.
