Shrink Wrapper Selection for Bottled Water Multipacks
Select a shrink wrapper from the finished pack definition, packs per minute, bottle stability, film, collation pattern, tunnel, changeover and downstream load. Bottle BPH alone cannot size the packing machine. Use the decision points below to define a comparable supplier scope before requesting a project quotation.
Direct answer
What should a buyer decide about Shrink Wrapper Selection for Bottled Water Multipacks?
Select a shrink wrapper from the finished pack definition, packs per minute, bottle stability, film, collation pattern, tunnel, changeover and downstream load. Bottle BPH alone cannot size the packing machine.
- Finished pack specification
