HOW TO FIGURE SHRINK ROLL FILM SIZE FOR YOUR PRODUCTS

  • Your actual product has 3-dimensions: Length , Width and Height (*depth).
    (if circular W & L are the same). Inches are the unit of measurement here.

  • In order to figure what film size you will need, (and ultimately the correct machine size), you must do a little math to arrive at the correct size for the film and machine.
  • First, understand that the("WIDTH*" as used here) can be either the Length* or the Width* of the actual product! Width in the formula refers to the measurement in relation to the film, you can use your length as a "Width" number. In many instances you will apply the formula twice to see which makes more sense to your needs:
  • FORMULA: (Product "WIDTH*") + Height + 2-Inches + (Round-up) = Film Size.
  • EXAMPLE: A box is 12" Wide x 18" Long x 2" Deep(high) ...... here's how to figure it:
    Example #1)- 12"w + 2"d +2"= 16" (Use 16" Film, on an 18" or larger sealer - Length is 18" on 2nd seal that's why 18" min. sealer).
    - - - - - (OR try the other way):
    Example #2)-     18"w* + 2"d + 2"= 22" (Use 22" Film on a 24" or 25" or larger sealer)
    *This will give best film yield, but the equipment will cost more initially.
  • WHY: In Example #1 above: You will be using 20-running inches of film material (18"x2") for each package, and you will need an 18" sealer to handle the 2nd cut. You will be using 20" of film for each box.
    In Example #2 above: You will be using 14-running inches of film material (12"x2") for each package, and your sealer will be wide enough to handle the 2nd cut!
  • It is cheaper to use 14-running in. of film from a 22" wide roll, per package than to use 20-running in. of film from a 16" wide roll.
  • CONFUSING, HOPEFULLY NOT, But I will be glad to review it with you by phone: 1-800-845-6839 and ask for Jed Jelincic.
