Sleeve Wrapper Machine
Efficient Sleeve Shrink Packaging Solutions for Bottles, Boxes & More
Since 2014, Tengyi has been manufacturing sleeve wrapper machines, offering both standalone and complete sleeve wrapping solutions for various industries, including food, marketing, and cosmetics.
What Is a Sleeve Wrapper?
A sleeve wrapper, also known as a shrink bunding machine, is a kind of shrink packaging machine designed to wrap products in shrink film (PE or PVC)sleeves and seal them—ideal for multipacking bottles, cans, cartons, and more. These machines are widely used in beverage factories and logistics lines where speed, consistency, and protection are critical.
How Does a Shrink Bundle Machine Work?
Packing Procedure
- The product is conveyed into the sleeve area.
- Shrink film is wrapped around the product in a sleeve-like manner after the photoelectric sensor detects it.
- Film is sealed and cut (cross seal).
- The product is passed through a heat-shrinking tunnel, where it is tightly wrapped by the film.

Automatic vs. Semi-Automatic Sleeve Wrapper: What’s the Main Difference?
1. Unlike semi-automatic models that require manual product placement, the automatic shrink bundler integrates a motorized conveyor belt to feed products seamlessly into the wrapping zone, as the right image shows.
2. Another major advantage for automatic sleeve wrapping machine is its built-in automatic grouping unit, which organizes items — like bottles or cans — into fixed sets (e.g., 6-packs, 8-packs, 10-packs) before wrapping. This is particularly useful for beverage industries that require high-volume, standardized packaging solutions.
Semi-Automatic Sleeve Wrapper
- Loading: Manual by operator
- Automation: Partial automation
- Volume: Best for small batches
- Flexibility: High
- Labor: Requires manual labor
- Cost: Lower investment
- Speed: 8-10pcs/ minute, Quicker than Automaitic Sleeve Wrapper
Fully Automatic Sleeve Wrapper
- Loading: Automatic feeding
- Automation: Full automation
- Volume: Ideal for large-scale production
- Flexibility: Best for standardized products like bottled waters
- Labor: Minimal labor needed
- Cost: Higher investment
- Speed: 5-8 bundles per minute,slower than semi automatic sleeve wrapping machine

FAQs Regarding Tengyi Sleeve Wrapping Shrink Machine
What's Sleeve Wrapper?
A sleeve wrapper is a packing machine that wraps several items together into one unit (for shipping or selling) using a sleeve of plastic film (such as PE or PVC). Sleeve wrappers typically have two rolls of film (top and bottom), and in the end, provide a secured and protected package.
What differentiates a sleeve wrapper from a bundle wrapper?
The terms “sleeve wrapper” and “bundle wrapper” are often confused. Both generally refer to a machine that groups several pieces of product with a thin, plastic film sleeve for handling and distributing or protecting.

A bullseye refers to the open ends on the sides of the shrink-wrapped bundle. The size can be adjusted by changing the film width:
Wider film = smaller bullseye
