An operator lays each carton on the infeed, two arch strapping machines band it, a side sealer wraps it in film and a heat tunnel shrinks the film tight. The sealing section matches our MO-350, which takes products up to 400 mm in width plus height with no length limit. Below we cover the steps, why straps go on first, the data and a worked example for film use.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"463\" height=\"823\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/36VolbchYu0\" title=\"Box bag packing and shrinking line\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2 id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#video\">What the clip shows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#why-this-order\">Why strap first, then shrink<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#machine-data\">Side sealer and tunnel data<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#film-use\">Film per carton<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safety\">Safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#next-step\">Next step<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related-reading\">Related reading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"video\">What the clip shows<\/h2>\n<p>The clip is a short vertical video of a packing line for long, narrow cartons.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What you see<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Loading<\/td>\n<td>An operator places a long carton on the infeed conveyor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strapping<\/td>\n<td>The carton passes through two arch strapping machines in a row, which band it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film and sealing<\/td>\n<td>A sealer with a raised black cover wraps the carton in film and seals it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shrinking<\/td>\n<td>The carton runs through a heat shrink tunnel with a red curtain<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Result<\/td>\n<td>The last frames show strapped cartons with tight, clear film on the floor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Strapping first holds the carton closed, and the shrink film then keeps dust and moisture off the board.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-this-order\">Why strap first, then shrink<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Closed carton.<\/strong> The straps hold the flaps and the contents before the film goes on.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Long products.<\/strong> A side sealer seals along the length, so the carton length is not limited by the seal bar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tight film.<\/strong> The shrink tunnel pulls the film tight around the carton and straps.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One line.<\/strong> Strapping, film, sealing and shrinking run in one pass, so the carton is handled once.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"machine-data\">Side sealer and tunnel data<\/h2>\n<p>The film and sealing section matches our side sealer shrinking machine MO-350.
