Shrink Film Equipment
Shrink film is a plastic packaging material that can wrap around nearly any product, regardless of size or shape. Once you place the material into position, you apply heat to the film’s surface, triggering the shrinking process. Once heated, the shrink film takes the product’s shape, creating a tight and durable protective seal.
Shrink film comes in various product types, strengths, thicknesses, clarities and shrink ratios. These materials work well alone or with others to create the product protection you need. Today’s shrink film material and equipment have evolved to accommodate the most strict sealability, toughness, force and memory requirements.

At Viking Plastic Packaging, we partner with Texwrap and Eastey to bring you some of the industry’s most innovative and efficient shrink film equipment, from L-sealers to heat tunnels to side sealers.

Some advantages of using shrink film equipment for packaging include:
- Superior protection: Shrink film creates a tight seal around your product, protecting it from harmful substances like dirt, dust and moisture. Most kinds of shrink film are highly durable, making them resistant to tears and punctures. The seal lasts over time and maintains its integrity in variable temperatures and humidity levels.
- Sustainability: One of the most significant benefits of polyolefin and polyethylene is their recyclability. As sustainability becomes critical in today’s business world, companies need to use the most eco-friendly packaging materials possible.
- Affordability: Shrink film is one of the most economically priced and readily available packaging materials. The material’s strength and durability often allow companies to eliminate costly secondary packaging involving corrugated pads or foam inserts. Besides saving on material costs, these features also allow you to maximize your storage space and shelf footprint.

These machines use the most modern technology to perform accurately and efficiently while providing you the durability and dependability to last many years down the road. Some equipment types we feature include:
- L-sealers: L-sealers seal the product in shrink film before it goes into the heat tunnel for shrinking.
- Bundling tunnels: In an automatic system, the bundling tunnel is where the material receives heat and takes the product’s shape.
- Continuous motion sealers: Continuous motion sealers use motion controls that provide fully automated packaging in nonstop motion.
