Wrapping Machine
Industrial Wrapping Machines for Secondary Packaging Lines
A wrapping machine is a type of secondary packaging equipment that creates a tight, protective barrier around items using stretch or shrink film. The machine is available in both fully automatic and semi-automatic options to improve your packaging efficiency and reduce labor costs, ensuring your goods remain pristine and shelf-ready during transport and storage.
At Anxine, we provide versatile wrapping solutions for different packaging needs. Compatible with a wide range of plastic films, our overwrapping machines lower your packaging costs by up to 95% compared to expensive carton-in-carton methods. The PLC-based temperature controls protect your sensitive products from heat damage while shrink wrapping up to 100 packs per minute.
Our Range of Film Wrapping Solutions
Whether you require clean carton overwrapping or uniform shrink packaging, easily find the machine below for your specific products.
Carton Wrapping Machine
Secures your single or multipack pharmaceutical and cosmetic products with full film overwrapping and localized banding for efficient transport and storage.
Shrink Wrap Machine
Tightly wraps irregular items and bundled products in protective heat shrink film to improve handling, storage, and retail appearance.
Why Choose Anxine Wrapping Systems
If you’re looking for sleek, secure secondary packaging for your products, our lineup offers a diverse range of reliable features that deliver a perfect finish for your cartons, bottles, or jars.
Intelligent PLC & Servo Control
Servo-driven film feeding precisely adjusts lengths and speed. Built-in fault detection and diagnostics ensure consistent wrapping performance.
Tamper-Evident Tear Tape Application
Tear tapes can be applied to the plastic film during overwrapping for effortless opening and tamper evidence.
360-Degree Heat Exposure
Specialized thermal systems ensure that the shrink bands or sleeves are evenly heated for wrinkle-free shrinkage as containers pass through the tunnel.
Seamless Packaging Line Integration
Work in sync with your existing cartoners, bottling lines, or case packers to build a fully automated production environment.
What Are the Core Types of Film Packaging Machines?
In the industrial packaging sector, wrapping machines are typically classified into four main types depending on how the film is applied to the product.
| Equipment Type | How It Operates | Compatible Film | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overwrapping Machine | Pulls packaging film over products, then tucks and folds the film edges, and seals them with heat. | Cellophane, BOPP, OPP | Flat-sided, rectangular, or square items |
| Shrink Packaging Machine | Loosely places film over items and conveys them through a heated tunnel, where the film shrinks for a snug fit. | POF, PE, PVC | Oddly shaped items, multi-packs, and products needing tamper-evident protection |
| Carton Banding Machine | Wraps a narrow film band around grouped cartons, then seals and cuts the film to secure the bundle. | PE | Multi-box bundling |
| Stretch Wrap Machine | Stretches elastic film around goods to bind them tightly. | LLDPE, MLLDPE | Palletized bulk loads |
| Flow Wrap Machine | Wraps film around the product, crimps and cuts the ends to create a sealed pouch. | BOPP, PET, PE | Individual, solid items requiring high-speed packaging |
Which Film Wrapping System Is Right for You?
To save you time, we prepared this quick selection matrix to help you match your packaging applications to the right wrapping equipment.
| Selection Criteria | Packaging Scenarios | Recommended Equipment |
|---|---|---|

| Bottle neck banding for tamper evidence | Shrink Banding Machine | |
| Full-body bottle labeling and branding | Shrink Sleeve Labeling Machine | |
| Multipack bundling | Shrink Wrapping Machine / Film Banding Machine | |
| Throughput & Product Size | High volume processing for small individual products | High-Speed Overwrapping Machine |
| Carton bundles with varying sizes | Carton Banding Machine / Overwrapping Machine | |
| Different container heights | Height-Adjustable Shrink Tunnel | |
| Film Materials | Cellophane, BOPP, OPP | Overwrapping Machine |
| POF, PVC, PE | Shrink Wrapping Machine |
How to Match the Packaging Film with Your Wrapping Machine
Beyond the right machinery, there’s a real science behind the plastic film used to wrap your products.
Film Specifications
Heat Shrink Wraps
Your films should fall within these thickness ranges to ensure proper thermal reaction.
| Film Material | Typical Thickness |
|---|---|
| PVC | 0.02-0.06 mm |
| POF | 0.03-0.10 mm |
| PE | 0.06-0.20 mm |
Overwrapping Films
Standard film core sizes typically range from 60 to 80 mm to ensure smooth film feeding.
To calculate the required film cut length, use the following formula:
L = 2W + 2H + C
L = Total film cut-off
W = Product width
H = Product height
C = Sealing overlap allowance (typically 10 to 15 mm)
Optimal Thermal Processing
Shrink Tunnel Settings
Adjust heating temperature and exposure time according to the natural shrink rate of your chosen film.
| Film Material | Target Temperature | Typical Exposure Time |
|---|---|---|
| PVC | 110-130°C | 5-10 seconds |
| POF | 130-170°C | 8-16 seconds |
| PE | 150-180°C | 2-15 seconds |
Overwrapping Sealing Settings
For spot sealing, set the initial temperature to 120°C. Increase the heat gradually, depending on the film thickness and machine speed, until reliable seal strength is achieved.
