Shrink Tunnel for Sleeve Label

The shrink tunnel for sleeve label is a crucial asset for manufacturers who prioritize visual excellence and functional performance. This equipment applies controlled heat to shrink sleeves, allowing the label to tightly wrap the container, creating a 360° premium finish with increased resistance and product appeal.

How it works

• The sleeve is first applied loosely onto the container.
  
  
• The container enters the tunnel.
  
  
• Inside the tunnel, heat causes the film to shrink and conform perfectly to the container’s shape.
  
  
• Optional cooling zones ensure label stability.
  
  
• Precision in temperature, airflow, and conveyor speed ensures optimal results.
  
  

Models like the steam shrink tunnel by IMEK are ideal for sensitive materials and high-precision needs.
