Continuous Motion Inline Automatic Wrap
EDL’s Continuous Motion Wrapper handles many supported and unsupported products. Wrap random sized packs when using the same film width and enjoy optional automatic film splicing.
EDL’s Continuous Motion Inline Automatic wrap systems are a faster, modified version of the base inline automatic system. The servo controlled, continuous-motion seal jaw moves with the product during the seal process for increased line speeds. Continuous motion inline automatic wrap systems can be designed to handle a wide range of applications, and is capable of wrapping up to 35 packs per minute.
EDL has experience manufacturing tailored secondary and end-of-line packaging machines for the automotive industry.
Double Tight Wrap Bundler
Secure, Seal, & Stabilize Bulk & Multi-Unit Products
The EDL Double Tight Wrap Bundler sets the standard for secure, efficient, and visually appealing packaging. Using two perpendicular bands of LDPE film, it tightly unitizes and completely encloses products or collations—creating stable, stackable, and tamper-evident packages with a clean, professional look.
Engineered for performance and efficiency, the Double Tight Wrap Bundler offers exceptional durability, flexibility, and cost savings. Customers typically see 15–40% less film usage and 25–50% lower energy consumption compared to traditional total enclosure shrink systems—all while improving containment and leak control.
Ideal for self-supporting products, the system excels with pet food, food-service consumables, pouches, gable-top bags, corrugated containers, bulk food items, and cube-shaped industrial products requiring full containment and leak protection.
Trusted by leading manufacturers, the EDL Double Tight Wrap Bundler has become the gold standard for tight wrap packaging applications.
How It Works
The Double Tight Wrap uses a dual film wrapping process to provide a total enclosure. Two perpendicular LDPE film bands — one horizontal and one vertical — are applied around the product. Using low heat, the films fuse together to form a tight, tamper-evident, and durable seal.
This design eliminates “dog ears” and excess film, ensuring a neat, cost-effective package. Integrated servo-controlled conveyors, gable folding, and metering systems guarantee consistent product collation and precise wrap placement.
Multiple line layout configurations (“U” and “Z”) offer facilities layout flexibility while maintaining an optimal throughput of up to 25 packs per minute.

Frequently Asked Questions About the EDL Double Tight Wrap
What is the EDL Double Tight Wrap Bundler Machine?
The EDL Double Tight Wrap Bundler is a total enclosure bundler machine that uses two perpendicular LDPE film bands to completely wrap and protect products. It provides unitization, tamper evidence, and product visibility while reducing film and energy use compared to traditional shrink systems.
How does the Double Tight Wrap Bundler work?
The machine applies two layers of film at right angles, then uses low heat to fuse them together — creating a tight, sealed package without excessive film waste or heat exposure. This process stabilizes pallet loads and safeguards corners and edges from damage during transport and storage.
What types of products can be packaged with the Double Tight Wrap Bundler?
The Double Tight Wrap Bundler is ideal for self-supporting products such as pet food bags, gable-top pouches, corrugated containers, bulk food items, and food-service consumables. It’s also used for cube-shaped industrial products requiring leak protection and total containment.

Inline Automatic Wrapper
High-Performance Wrapping for Small to Large to Oversized Products
The EDL Inline Automatic Wrapper is a flexible and reliable shrink-wrapping solution engineered to meet a wide range of packaging needs. Built for performance, precision, and durability, this system provides dependable wrapping for both small and large products — from cartons and cases to oversized panels, windows, and doors.
Known for its versatility, the Inline Automatic Wrapper combines industrial-grade design with automated precision, delivering consistent packaging results while maximizing throughput and minimizing waste. For large-scale applications, the same machine configuration is often referred to as the Panel Wrapper, used for oversized or heavy products that require total protection during shipping and storage.
How It Works
Products are automatically loaded onto the infeed conveyor where sensors detect size and position. The wrapper centers each product and advances it through the film web and sealing area. A pack clamp gently holds the product while the sealing jaws close, creating a sleeve of LDPE film around it.
For shrink applications, the product then passes through a heat tunnel that pulls the film tight, forming a clean, secure wrap. When used for bagging, the film remains unshrunken, creating a protective enclosure ideal for products sensitive to heat or appearance changes.
From start to finish, the Inline Automatic Wrapper operates with consistent control — automatically measuring, centering, sealing, and discharging wrapped products for dependable, repeatable performance.

Single Roll Wrapper
High-Speed, Continuous Shrink Wrapping for Trayed & Trayless Products
The EDL Single Roll Wrapper (SRW) is engineered for speed, flexibility, and dependable packaging performance. Delivering throughput rates up to 45 packs per minute, this continuous-motion wrapping system combines precision servo control with EDL’s proven mechanical design to ensure smooth, consistent results for every package.
Using a single roll of LDPE film, the Single Roll Wrapper eliminates the need for dual-roll systems and traditional sealing jaws. The result is a streamlined, efficient wrapping process that reduces downtime, minimizes film waste, and maintains a clean, tight bull’s-eye finish — ideal for food, beverage, and consumer products.
How It Works
The Single Roll Wrapper accepts trayed or trayless products on an infeed conveyor and continuously advances them through the film application zone. A servo-driven film feed and cut assembly meters an exact length of film beneath the moving product while synchronized film wands lift and fold the remaining film over the top and down the front.
The film overlap is fused and tightened as the product passes through the high-efficiency shrink tunnel, producing a secure bull’s-eye-style package. The system’s continuous motion ensures smooth product handling and high throughput without stopping between cycles
