The new Bio-Wrapper is said to be the world’s first shrink-wrapper series built specifically for use with biodegradable, compostable PLA shrink film. The series was developed to accommodate the lower shrink temperatures of PLA and can produce both total-closure (form/fill/seal) retail packs and bullseye wraps for distribution applications. The machine uses EarthFirst® brand PLA film from Plastic Suppliers, Inc. made from NatureWorks LLC’s PLA resin. Features of the machine include the ability to produce ultra-high-clarity shrink-wraps in nearly any product configuration and an all-stainless-steel construction for easy cleaning. The Bio-Wrapper is engineered as a complete unit with a double-insulated shrink tunnel that is said to reduce energy consumption.
