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.
What are the benefits of EDL’s Double Tight Wrap technology?
- Up to 40% reduction in film use
- Up to 50% lower energy consumption
- Leak and tamper resistance with full product visibility
- Gentle, low-heat wrapping for temperature-sensitive products
- Reduced “dog ears” and material waste compared to traditional shrink wraps
- Clean, stable pallet loads for safer, more efficient shipping

What Exactly is Ancillary Packaging Equipment?
Semi-Automatic Wrapper
Semi-Automatic Wrapper handles trayed, tray less or padded products. When high quality packs are required but full automation is secondary.
The Semi-Automatic Wrapper (Monobloc Semi-Automatic) is a cost-efficient, secondary or end-of-line packaging solution for a wide range of applications. It is designed for reduced throughput rates and requires operator loading of product and activation of each wrapping sequence. This versatile system can be quickly and easily integrated into existing production lines.
Shrink Tunnel
Heavy-duty, reliable and tailored to your product and package
Shrink tunnels are essential for achieving secure and professional packaging using shrink film. The heat applied in these tunnels causes the shrink film to tightly conform to product contours, ensuring long-lasting protection during transportation, storage, and display.
Our shrink tunnels, also known as heated shrink tunnels or shrink wrap tunnels, feature a high temperature-rated Habasit conveyor belt and a dual-shell hood design with ceramic fiber insulation for efficient heat retention. They include a direct drive overhead hot air blower and silicone entrance and exit curtains for precise heat distribution. Film cooling fans at the exit ensure a smooth finish.
- High temperature rated Habasit conveyor belt
- Dual shell tunnel hood design
