Manual Shrink Wrap Machines

Our Objectives

At Kempner, we offer a range of manual shrink wrap machines for secure, cost-effective product packaging.

At Kempner, we supply a range of manual shrink wrap machines for businesses requiring a cost-effective way to package and present their products. Our manual combination seal and shrink machines are suitable for a wide variety of products, providing secure, tamper-evident packaging with a professional finish.

With production speeds of up to 10 packs per minute, depending on product size and operator experience, our manual shrink wrapping machines are suitable for businesses that require consistent packaging without investing in fully automatic equipment.

Our machines are competitively priced, compact and designed for continuous industrial use. We can also help you select the correct machine and shrink film for your packaging requirements.

How Do Manual Shrink Wrap Machines Work?

Manual shrink wrap machines combine the sealing and shrinking processes within a single unit. This makes them particularly suitable for businesses with limited floor space or those packaging smaller production quantities.

The operator places the product into the shrink film, positions it within the machine and initiates the sealing process. Heat then shrinks the film around the product to produce a secure, closely fitted package.

Unlike automatic shrink wrapping machinery, these machines require operator involvement throughout the packaging process, including positioning, sealing and removing the finished packs.

Our manual combination seal and shrink machines can achieve speeds of up to 10 packs per minute, although actual output depends on pack dimensions, product characteristics and operator experience.

What Products Can Manual Shrink Wrapping Machines Package?

Our manual shrink wrapping equipment can accommodate a wide range of products across different industries. These machines are particularly suitable for retail packaging, where product presentation and tamper evidence are important.

Common applications include boxed products, books, printed materials, household goods and other retail items.

Shrink film provides a clear outer covering that allows customers to view the packaged product whilst helping to protect it from handling and interference.

The maximum product dimensions depend on the selected machine and its sealing area. For larger or unusual products, Kempner can advise on suitable machinery, including made-to-order versions where required.

Choosing the Right Manual Shrink Wrapping Machine

Selecting the correct shrink wrapping machine depends on the products you need to package, their dimensions and the number of packs you intend to produce.

At Kempner, we work with customers to identify the most suitable machinery for their requirements. By understanding your intended packaging results, product dimensions and production output, we can recommend a machine that meets your needs.

We can also advise on compatible shrink films, machinery specifications and the available options for businesses with more demanding packaging requirements.

If your production requirements increase, we can discuss our semi automatic shrink wrapping machinery and automatic shrink wrap machines.
