Fresh Produce – Seafood & Meat
Fresh products, such as meat and fish require a sophisticated packaging solution, one that offers protection for the item enclosed, is sealable and hardwearing. This is primarily to ensure that the product arrives in the consumer’s hands in its intended form and is still edible. Fresh produce begins to ‘go off’ much faster than dry goods, this means a packaging solution that promotes the life of the item is favourable. It is also of paramount importance that the packaging is tough and can resist punctures, as fresh produce, such as meat and fish, is also more likely to go off if contaminants from the air reach it. By removing the oxygen reach to the produce, it is expected to be edible for much longer than without it.
What Shrink Wrapping Machine is Suitable for Fresh Produce?
As an advisory, the semi-automatic shrink wrap packaging machine is suitable for fresh seafood and meats. This machine provides a cost-effective and high-quality packaging for businesses and can wrap items of a range of shapes and sizes. The shrink wrap is both strong and resistant to puncture, as well as being attractive and transparent, meaning the consumer can easily view the items enclosed.
Confectionaries
Included in confectionaries are chocolate, sweets, baked goods, nuts, glazed fruit and much, much more! The food group consists of a wide variety of shapes and sizes, which can often challenge businesses who are unsure of which packaging solution is suitable for their product.
For both large and small items, it is often preferable for the packaging to include product details, such as ingredients lists and branding. For confectionaries with an unusual shape, the packaging is often required to retain and mirror the shape of the item enclosed. Shrink wrap that can be printed on, and maintains its form and structure is beneficial for packaging confectionaries. The wrap is tight, and branding can be added, it is also tamper-evident, which means that the business or consumer receiving the item will be able to clearly see whether or not the item is in its intended form.

Sensitive Documents
There is a range of sensitive documents that require protection during transit, for example, exam papers, research data, personal data collection records, health information and government documents to name a few. This type of information often has a restriction as to which individuals have access to the content and one of the methods used to protect the documents is to shrink wrap the files. Sensitive documents are often required to be wrapped very quickly, and often there is a high volume of papers to get through. The priority of shrink wrapping these items is to ensure it is evident that the item enclosed has not been tampered with.

Building Materials
Heavy objects, such as building materials in the form of wood, bricks, metal or other resources, often need to be packaged to ensure they remain together and are protected by one another. For example, self-assembly kits require complete sets, one way of ensuring the consumer receives all of the components is to package them together. Due to the weight of these types of products, a highly durable and strong wrap is required to protect the items enclosed.
