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.

When to Invest in a Automatic Shrink Wrap Packaging Machine

Automatic shrink wrap systems can be designed and manufactured to meet a wide range of packaging goals. And are commonly installed in manufacturing settings that warrant mid-to higher production rates.

Circumstances that may lead you to purchase a fully automatic packaging machine:

You have a limited number of products and have large runs of them. This is usually the best fit for an automatic shrink wrapper, especially when production consistency and labor reduction are priorities.
You would like to eliminate some of the hands-on processes that may be associated with packaging your products in order to improve line efficiencies.
You need your machine to present your products in a very specific manner. In this case, an automated shrink wrapper will provide the repeatability you are looking for.
You need a machine that will perform multiple functions (e.g., erect a tray, place your product in that tray, wrap the tray). Here, an automatic solution may end up being the more cost-effective option.
