Full-Body Container Branding for Impactful Shelf Presence.
Core Technology & Process
Automated Sleeve Application
Speed: 600-4,000 containers/hour
Process Flow:
Film Unwinding → Mandrel Formation → Container Sleeving → Precision Cutting → Brush Smoothing → Heat Shrinking
Cutting Methods: Photoelectric sensor detection or timer-based interval cutting
Heat Shrinking Systems
| Type | Requirements | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Electric IR Tunnels | Standard power | General-purpose applications |
| Steam Tunnels | External steam generator | Complex shapes, high humidity environments |
Core Technology
Automatic Sleeve Applicators: Precision placement of pre-cut sleeves
Steam/IR Heat Tunnels: Controlled shrinkage for complex geometries
Vision Inspection: 100% print/detection verification (optional)
