• Shrink wrap packaging films are incredibly
  versatile and created in formulations to be
  optimized for a wide array of general and
  specialized applications.
• Packaging operations can elect to do shrink
  packaging processes manually (hand shrink wrap
  packaging) or with the assistance of shrink wrap
  equipment such as wrappers and heat tunnels.
• This is usually used as a means of overwrapping
  a range of products, including books, games and
  gift packs. It may be used to enhance a product,
  to keep product clean, to prevent tampering of
  product or to consolidate multiple products as a
  single pack.
• Shrink wrapping method is same for all products
  irrespective of size and brittleness. The process
  is so simple that it can be easily done in DIY
  (do it yourself) procedure. Some artists do
  shrink wrapping to protect their paintings from
  dust and also to give it a professional look. For
  casual wrappings, you can get the shrink wrap
  film from retailers and heat it by means of hair
  dryer. But if there many products to be wrapped,
  it would be better to go for shrink wrapping
  machines.

• The systems work fast, thus drastically cutting
  down the time used for shrinking. The systems
  include systems with heat guns or tunnels. Shrink
  wrap systems with heat guns have a straight bar
  sealer and a heat gun, lightweight equipment used
  for easy shrink band applications. But in shrink
  wrap systems with tunnels, an L-bar system and
  tunnel are incorporated.
• Different types of shrink wrapping equipments
  are available that would help you to perform
  wrapping process at home or at office. The
  machines would vary in sizes and function and you
  would need to select the most appropriate ones
  based on the amount and type of your wrapping.
  Some machines are designed to wrap small items
  like CDs and DVDs while other machines are used
  to pack large boxes. They would vary in the speed
  of packing. Some of them would be designed to
  wrap only a few items in an hour but certain
  types can pack hundreds in an hour. The larger
  machines are often permanently installed but
  small machines would be portable.
