A side sealer can typically wrap products up to six metres long, depending on the model and film width. This ability to handle lengthy or irregularly shaped items makes it an excellent choice for packaging furniture, profiles, mouldings, or other large goods. Because side sealers operate continuously, they don’t restrict the length of the product, giving them an advantage over standard shrink machines. Adjustable sealing systems and conveyor speeds ensure consistent, high-quality seals across different product dimensions. Whether you’re packaging short batches or long items in succession, side sealers maintain precision and appearance. This versatility helps manufacturers wrap oversized or unusually shaped products securely while keeping efficiency and finish at a professional standard.

Side sealers are compatible with both polyolefin and polythene shrink films, giving users flexibility based on the type of product being packaged. Polyolefin is ideal for retail presentation due to its glossy finish and excellent clarity, while polythene offers durability and tear resistance for larger or heavier products. Both films shrink evenly when heat is applied, creating a secure and visually appealing package. Side sealers are designed with precise temperature control and continuous sealing mechanisms to ensure consistent performance across different film types. This adaptability allows businesses to use one machine for multiple applications, from delicate consumer goods to industrial packaging. With the right film selection, users achieve professional, strong, and attractive wrapping every time.

Yes, side sealers can effectively use printed shrink film, making them perfect for branded or promotional packaging. Printed films help products stand out by displaying logos, colours, and key product information directly on the wrap. The continuous sealing design of a side sealer ensures alignment and print accuracy, preserving visual quality even at high speeds. Whether packaging retail products or industrial items, printed film adds a professional and eye-catching finish that enhances brand recognition. Using printed shrink film also eliminates the need for additional labelling, saving time and cost in the production process. Side sealers handle printed materials smoothly, providing consistent seals and shrink results without smudging or distortion, ensuring each wrapped product looks sharp and appealing.
