Frequently Asked Questions
What factors affect shrink wrap quality?
Shrink wrap quality depends on film type, temperature settings, dwell time, conveyor speed, and product complexity. Our calculator considers all these factors to optimize your process parameters.
How do I choose the right film type?
Film selection depends on application: PVC for general use, Polyolefin for food contact, PET for electronics, and PLA for sustainable packaging. Consider temperature sensitivity and required clarity.
What are optimal temperature settings?
Optimal temperatures vary by film: PVC (120-180°C), Polyolefin (140-170°C), PE (110-150°C). Higher temperatures shrink faster but may cause film burns or product damage.
How accurate are the cost calculations?
Our calculator uses industry-standard formulas and current market data, achieving 95%+ accuracy for typical applications. Results may vary based on specific supplier pricing and local conditions.
Can I save my calculations?
Yes, all calculations are automatically saved to your browser's local storage. You can also export results to PDF, Excel, or JSON formats for documentation and analysis.
