Shrink Wrap Tunnel Machines

Types of Shrink Tunnel Machines

Not every operation needs the same setup, which is why there's a shrink tunnel machine for just about every packaging workflow. Smaller companies often prefer a compact tabletop heat tunnel shrink wrap machine—they're easy to use and don't take up much space. Larger fulfillment centers tend to move toward conveyorized or combo units that can handle thousands of packages in a single shift.

Here's a rundown of your options:

• Tabletop models for low to mid‑volume packaging: Models like the T2016 and 1606‑20 are compact, ideal for low‑ to mid‑volume operations. These tabletop tunnels come with digital or analog controls and often pair with a tabletop L‑bar sealer. They're space-efficient and quick to set up.
• Standalone tunnels (used with separate sealers like L‑bar or I‑bar): Larger models such as the 1808‑28, 1808‑44, and the 2208‑48 provide higher capacity and pair with an external sealer, making them ideal for stand-alone setups.
• Combination systems (sealer + tunnel integrated): Combo units like TL‑1519 ECMC and TL‑1622 MK integrate an L‑bar sealer with the shrink tunnel, offering seamless, efficient workflow and often faster throughput for many packaging operations.
• Industrial conveyorized heat tunnel shrink wrap machines: High-capacity options such as the 1808‑44, 2208‑48, and other broader length models are built for continuous, high-speed production lines. These offer robust construction, adjustable speed, and temperature controls for big-volume throughput.
