Industrial Shrink Tunnels
Controlled Heat and Airflow for a Consistent, Professional Shrink Finish
Our industrial shrink tunnels are designed to operate after an L-sealer, side sealer or sleeve wrapper, applying controlled heat to shrink the film tightly and consistently around each product.
Available in a range of tunnel sizes, chamber lengths and conveyor configurations, each system is specified around your product dimensions, shrink film and required throughput. Severn Packaging can supply the complete shrink-wrapping line, including machinery, compatible film, installation, operator training and ongoing UK support.
Accurate Temperature Control
Consistent heat throughout the tunnel
Adjustable Conveyor Speed
Matched to the product, film and output
Multiple Configurations
Single and double-chamber systems available
Why Choose Our Industrial Shrink Tunnels?
Consistent Pack Presentation — Accurate temperature control and carefully managed airflow help produce an even shrink finish across the complete pack.
Configured Around Your Product — Tunnel size, conveyor type, airflow and operating speed are selected around the product dimensions, weight, film and required finish.
Built for Continuous Production — Robust construction and reliable controls make the tunnels suitable for demanding daily production environments.
Complete Machinery and Film Support — Severn Packaging supplies complete shrink-wrapping lines together with compatible polyolefin and polyethylene films, installation, training and ongoing technical support.

Shrink Tunnels for Presentation, Protection and Multipacking
Our shrink tunnels can be configured for individual retail products, printed materials, food and drink, cosmetics, manufactured goods, trays and multipacks. The correct system depends on the product dimensions, weight, film type, required presentation and production speed.
Frequently Asked Questions
A shrink tunnel uses controlled heated air to shrink film around a product after it has been enclosed and sealed. The result is a tight, consistent pack for presentation, protection or multipacking.
Usually, yes. A shrink tunnel is normally installed after an L-sealer, side sealer or sleeve wrapper, which first encloses the product in shrink film. Chamber shrink wrappers are different because sealing and shrinking take place within the same machine.
A double-chamber tunnel provides a longer heated section, allowing higher conveyor speeds while maintaining sufficient heating time. The best configuration depends on the product, film and required throughput.
The range covers nominal working widths of 450mm, 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm and 1500mm. Regular single-chamber, extended-length and double-chamber versions are available. The correct model is selected around the product dimensions, film, required heating time and production speed.
Yes. Tunnels can be configured for compatible polyolefin and polyethylene shrink films. Temperature, airflow, conveyor type and speed must be matched to the film, gauge and product.
We review your product dimensions, weight, film, required pack finish and target output before specifying the tunnel aperture, chamber length, conveyor and operating configuration. Product trials can also be arranged where required.
