Overwrappers are most commonly seen in the food industry. The overwrappers work best when the item(s) being wrapped are placed on a tray (although it is not necessary). Overwrappers completely cover the item(s) with film and then the operator seals the bottom with the attached hot plate to prevent leakage and to keep food products fresh.
The Details:
Overwrappers come in various lengths including, 12”, 18”, 20”, 24”, 30”, and 36” rolls. Depending on the size selected will determine the overall width of the shrink wrap roll that can be used.
Overwrapper machines range in price from $300 - $1500.
Benefits of overwrapping include:
- Reduced Packaging Costs
- Extended Shelf Life of Products (protects items against dust and debris)
- Attractive and Eye-Catching Packaging
- Keeps Perishable Items Fresh
