How to choose the right shrink packaging machine

Decide how you want to pack the items. Generally speaking, there are two types of packaging for shrink packaging machines, one is a fully enclosed type and the other is a cuff type. The closed type is all wrapped, such as cosmetic boxes, and the cuff type has a small mouth on both sides, which is generally used for beverages, mineral water, beer, etc. The two types of shrinking machines are different, so be sure to determine the packaging form of your items.

Determine the packaging film you are using. There are generally three kinds of packaging films, pof, pe, and pvc. Generally speaking, PE film is the thickest and is generally used for beverages. Pof and pvc are generally used for cosmetics, gift boxes, mobile phone boxes and the like. The price of PE film shrinking machine is relatively high, and others are cheaper. The PE film shrinking machine can shrink other films, but the reverse is not possible, because when PE film shrinks other films, the temperature can be lowered and the speed can be increased. But conversely, it not only affects the speed, but the effect is not ideal.

Determine the size of your items. The shrink packaging machine models are different, and the size of the shrink oven is also different, so you can choose the most suitable one after you determine your size.

Look at the load bearing of the shrinking machine. According to the different items to be contracted, the load-bearing capacity of the shrinking machine is also different. Some have a maximum of 20KG and some are 50KG. Therefore, you must pay attention to the load-bearing problem when purchasing. If the load-bearing is too light, the service life of the machine will be greatly shortened, or even impossible. If it is used too heavy, the cost will increase.

The choice of semi-automatic or fully automatic. Semi-automatic shrinking machine generally has only one shrinking machine. For automatic shrinking machine, there is a cover film sealing and cutting machine in front. The main function is to cover the film. Generally, if the output is not large, you can choose to use the semi-automatic shrinking machine. Choose a fully automatic machine

Look at the shrinkage effect. If you can, you can bring your own items to the Metroway smart packaging manufacturer to test it out to see if the effect is satisfactory.

heating method. The heating method of the shrinking machine is different. Some are heated by quartz tubes, and some are heated by steel pipes. The former is cheaper and the latter is more expensive. However, the quartz tube is a vulnerable part in the shrinking machine, which is relatively easy to damage, but the steel pipe is not easy to damage. .

Look at the price. No matter whether it is the lowest price or the highest price, the shrinking machine in the market will not break through a “degree”. Try not to choose the cheapest, especially the price is incredible, because this kind of machinery is likely to be problematic, if you don’t pay special attention to the brand, you can choose an intermediate price. The price of the general brand of shrinking machine is relatively high. Some.
