3. Machine Selection & Film Matching Recommendations
Here are practical recommendations based on actual product weight and production scale:
Light Products:
Recommended 50-75μm film + Pillow Type Packaging Machine or L-Bar Sealer.
Typical Products: 500ml mineral water 3×4 packs (approx. 3-4kg), daily chemical sets, small beverage combos for e-commerce.
<5kg
Medium Weight Products:
Recommended 80-120μm film + High-Speed Sleeve Wrapper or L-Bar Sealer.
Typical Products: 500ml beverage 4×6 big cases (approx. 8-12kg), medium cartons for water plants and e-commerce.
5-20kg
Heavy Pallet Packaging:
Recommended 120μm+ thick film + Pallet Shrink Wrapping Machine (if needed).
Typical Products: Door & window profiles, flooring pallets, machinery equipment, and large export cargo.
>20kg per pallet
High-Speed & High-Volume Production Lines:
Prioritize High-Speed Sleeve Wrapper / Automatic Color Film Wrapping Machine with premium films featuring low coefficient of friction (Low COF), uniform shrinkage, and high strength to maximize speed and yield.

5.Frequently Asked Questions
We've provided clear answers to help you make informed decisions.
1: Do different machines require different film thicknesses?
+
-
Yes. Light products work well with 50-75μm film, while medium to heavy production (especially large water plants) usually need 80μm or thicker film. Incorrect thickness often leads to poor shrinkage or breakage.
2: How to choose between Pillow Type and High-Speed Sleeve Wrapper?
+
-
Pillow Type Packaging Machine is suitable for small and medium water plants and e-commerce. High-Speed Sleeve Wrapper is better for large water plants with high daily output. Choose according to your production scale and speed requirements.
3: What problems occur if machine temperature is not set correctly?
+
-
Too low temperature causes loose packaging; too high temperature may melt the film, cause discoloration, or result in broken seals. Adjust gradually according to film thickness and product weight.
4: What should be noted when using a new machine or new film for the first time?
+
-
It is strongly recommended to run small batch tests first. Focus on checking shrink tightness, seal strength, and surface appearance. Contact us for guidance if any issues arise.
5: What is the difference between film used for pallet packaging and regular carton packaging?
+
-
Pallet shrink film is thicker (100μm+) with higher shrink force and tear resistance to handle heavy loads and long-distance transportation.
