Shrink Sleeve Tunnels
Shrink sleeve tunnels apply heat to contract a sleeve label around a container. The listed range includes gas-heated and electrically heated equipment for PVC sleeve applications. These tunnels provide the shrinking stage; automatic sleeve placement should not be assumed to be included.

Machines and applications
A sleeve is placed around the container before entering the heated zone. The finished appearance depends on sleeve material, container shape, heat exposure and conveyor speed. A sleeve tunnel performs a labeling operation and differs from a shrink wrapper used to bundle products or wrap cartons.
How to choose a suitable configuration
Compare the individual machine specifications against your product and packaging samples. Confirm the following points before selecting a configuration.
- Container dimensions, shape and heat sensitivity.
- Sleeve material, print position and required shrink behavior.
- Tunnel clearance, conveyor arrangement and line speed.
- Available heating energy and installation requirements.
Preparing a quotation request
Send product and packaging samples or drawings, the required output, and the available floor space and utilities. Identify the equipment already in your line so the proposed machine and its interfaces can be checked. Confirm the scope of supply and acceptance test in the quotation.
Questions and answers
Does the tunnel automatically place the sleeve on the bottle?
The listed tunnels supply the heat-shrinking stage. Sleeve placement is a separate operation unless explicitly included in a quoted configuration.
How do I choose between gas and electric heating?
Compare the available energy supply, installation conditions and required heat control. Running cost depends on local energy prices and the actual operating duty.
Can a tunnel run every container and sleeve combination?
No. Container clearance, heat tolerance and sleeve behavior must be checked. Test actual containers and sleeves for the required appearance.
