Heat Shrink Wrap Guns

Heat shrink guns are used to package retail and consumable items with a clean, professional finish. These guns operate on a standard 110-volt power supply and deliver 1200 watts of consistent heat, with both two-speed and variable temperature options available to support different materials and shrink rates. Reviewing product specifications and features before purchasing helps ensure the right fit for your application, while proper temperature control and safe operation allow for efficient shrinking without damaging packaging or products.

Heat Shrink Gun Information

Our heat shrink wrap guns allow users to set variable temp. ranges to help control shrink rates and reduce packaging damage. Shrink wrap heat guns are a great option for a heating source in small to medium-sized operations. Many people often call wanting to know if they can use a hair dryer for a heating element. A hair dryer can be used, but we do not recommend it for anyone trying to efficiently shrink wrap multiple products. The maximum temperature most hair dryers reach is not high enough to establish an effective heat source for shrinking multiple products.

Both of the heat shrink guns we offer online can reach a higher temperature than hair dryers, therefore both can shrink film quickly and efficiently. The difference between the two-speed heat gun and the variable temp. heat gun is the available heat settings. The two-speed heat gun only offers two heat settings for shrinking, the variable temp. heat gun offers an adjustable heat dial for full temperature control. Both heat guns will work adequately for most shrinking operations, the variable temp heat gun just adds an extra amount of heat control.

FAQs: Heat Shrink Tubing Wrap Guns

What is a heat shrink wrap gun used for?

A heat shrink wrap gun is used to apply controlled heat to shrink film tightly around products. It’s commonly used for retail packaging, bundling items, protecting products from dust and moisture, and creating a clean, professional finish on consumable and non-consumable goods.

Can I use a hair dryer instead of a heat shrink gun?

While a hair dryer can technically shrink film, it is not recommended for consistent or efficient shrink wrapping. Hair dryers typically do not reach high enough temperatures to shrink film evenly, making them impractical for packaging multiple products. Heat shrink guns are designed to deliver the higher, consistent heat required for proper shrink results.

What’s the difference between a two-speed heat gun and a variable temperature heat gun?

A two-speed heat gun offers two preset heat levels, making it simple and effective for general shrink wrapping tasks. A variable temperature heat gun includes an adjustable heat dial, allowing for precise temperature control. This added control helps reduce the risk of overheating or damaging thinner shrink films and is ideal for more delicate or varied packaging needs.

What power requirements do heat shrink wrap guns need?

All heat shrink wrap guns require a standard 110-volt power supply and typically operate at 1200 watts. This makes them easy to use in most workspaces without special electrical requirements.

Are heat shrink wrap guns suitable for high-volume packaging?

Heat shrink wrap guns are best suited for small to medium-sized operations. For higher-volume or continuous packaging environments, a shrink wrap tunnel may be a more efficient solution. If you’re unsure which option is best for your operation, our sales team can help you choose the right equipment.
