A shrink wrapping machine is a type of packaging equipment used to apply a protective plastic film around products. The machine uses heat to shrink the film tightly around the item, ensuring a secure and tamper-evident seal. These machines can be fully automatic or semi-automatic, depending on the production requirements and the level of operator involvement needed.
