Which Packaging Method is Better for Shipping Packaging?
Material cost and equipment maintenance cost are the main factors that drive our choice of a packaging machine. The sleeve shrink wrapper is a necessary equipment for many companies to package inventory products that need to be shipped because of these two advantages. It can replace boxes or other forms of protective packaging with low-cost, high-security polyethylene shrink wrap.
Sleeve shrink wrappers use polyethylene shrink wrap to group multiple products together for easy transportation. Polyethylene packaging film has the advantages of low cost and high strength, which is suitable for packaging canned goods, bottled drinking water and other products. The disadvantage of sleeve shrink wrappers is that the packaging looks unsightly, with large areas on both sides not wrapped, but it also makes less material used.
Therefore, if you are more concerned about reducing shipping costs than the appearance of the product after final packaging, then the sleeve shrink wrapper is your best choice.
Which Packaging Material is Better for Display Packaging?
POF packaging film combines the ability to display product promotional packaging with the protection provided by polyethylene shrink wrap. Therefore, it is particularly popular among retailers and marketers.
There are a variety of shrink wrapping machines that can achieve display packaging. An example of a less expensive option is an automatic L-type seal-cut shrink wrapper that wraps shrink film around your product, and then a shrink oven applies heat to the product to tighten the film. Side seal shrink wrappers tend to be more expensive than L-type seal-cut shrink wrappers, but they can accommodate a wider range of products and make a faster packaging.
