Have you been to a grocery store
and noticed how different things are packed there, for example things in a
combo offer are shrink wrapped together, and those things available in boxes are
strapped together. Have you ever wondered how they would be packaging all these
things and how much time they would be spending for this? There is no doubt
that packaging materials are of different types and to make the job easier we
have shrink wrap and strapping machines available.
If you are aware of lamination
then it should be easy for you to understand shrink wrap. It is similar to
lamination with the only difference that the material used is different and the
process can be used to combine different things in a single package. They use
shrink films and heat for the purpose and come in different varieties depending
on the type of heat they use and the way they can be used like hand held shrink wrap machines etc. Among all the different varieties available portable shrink
wrap is widely used for it is compact, lightweight and easy to use.
Strapping machines are huge as
compared to shrink wrap machines though they are also used to bundle up things
they do it differently using plastic or metal string which is tightly fastened
around the products. The band is so fastened that the product cannot move
during transit. Unlike shrink wrap machines, you need some training to be able
to handle strapping machines.
Packaging materials like shrink wrap and strapping machines have really made it easy to pack things together
and transit them without worrying about them falling apart.
