The last blog talked about different types of shrink tunnels. Today I’ll introduce how to choose a right automatic shrink tunnel for you.

To appropriately answer the question above, you will need to answer a few questions yourself. Here are a few items of consideration to ponder when trying to figure out which type of shrink tunnel is a good fit for your products and packaging line.

2.Do I require high-end graphics and branding capabilities for my products? If you answered yes, you would want to purchase a self-contained steam tunnel as they produce superior results when graphics and registration must be of the highest quality.

3.What is my budget? Depending on your financial limitations, you may want to stick with a convection tunnel as steam tunnels require additional utilities.

Answering these few simple questions will help you to make a better choice when it comes to purchasing a shrink tunnel for your packaging line.
