Heat shrink packets, with dimensions of 15 cm (width) x 25 cm (length), are a versatile packaging solution designed to tightly conform to the shape of an item when heat is applied. These particular dimensions make them suitable for a wide range of small to medium-sized products.
How to Heat Shrink:
The process of heat shrinking these packets is straightforward and can be achieved with several methods:
- Heat Gun: This is the most common and effective method for small-scale and home use. Place the item inside the packet, ensuring the opening is sealed or tucked. Apply heat evenly over the surface of the packet, moving the heat gun continuously to avoid overheating any single spot. You will see the film quickly tighten and smooth out.
- Conveyor Heat Tunnel (Industrial): For larger volumes and industrial applications, products are placed in the heat shrink packets and then passed through a conveyor heat tunnel. This method ensures consistent and rapid shrinking across many items.
- NOTE: IMPORTANT
- Apply Heat Evenly
- Use a heat gun (preferred). Keep the heat source moving in circular motions to avoid overheating
- Start Shrinking from the Back: Begin heating from the back of the item to push trapped air forward Work your way around the item, shrinking all sides evenly
- Watch for Tightness : 50 micron bags shrink slower than thinner bags, so allow extra time .They may require slightly higher heat settings due to their thickness.
- 20 and 30 micron bags shrink quikcer on less heat. Make sure the implications of 50 microns is understood otherwise the plastic will be melted or minimally heated,
