A shoe box shrink wrap machine wraps center-folded film around each box, seals and cuts it with a heated knife, and shrinks it tight in a hot-air tunnel in one continuous run. This page covers how the sealer and tunnel work, the MO-350 data, which box sizes fit, and how to check film width.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/57JYvkmP-2c\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>Labelled shoe boxes queue on a long green belt conveyor and feed one by one into the sealer. Film passes over red perforating rollers above the infeed, folds around each box and is sealed and cut, then the box goes through the shrink tunnel.
