Abstract: A system (A) for making shrink packaging (P) that is adapted to receive an article (O) to be packaged is disclosed including a conveyer (250) for moving a rigid substrate pallet member (250) beneath a flexible wrapping feed (252) that extends a flexible wrapping material (172) over a top surface (254) of the rigid substrate. An extension assembly (256) extends a desired length of the flexible wrapping material (172) from a flexible wrapping material supply (258) over the top surface (254) of the rigid substrate forming a pocket (178) between the top surface (254) of the rigid substrate and a bottom surface (180) of the flexible wrapping material (172). A trimmer (260) cuts the desired length of the extended flexible wrapping material (172) from the flexible wrapping material supply (258). The two opposing ends (174 and 176) of the length of the flexible wrapping material (172) is attached to the opposing ends (168 and 170) of the rigid substrate.

Abstract: A shrink package system is disclosed which includes a conveyer for conveying an article covered by shrink film, a hot air chamber for blowing hot air on the shrink film while the article and shrink film are on the conveyer, a plurality of rollers and a support frame for supporting the plurality of rollers above the conveyer. The shrink film covered article travels between the conveyer and the rollers, displacing the rollers vertically. In one arrangement, the support frame includes a pair of side rails held in position by at least one threaded stud, the side rails forming slots with both vertical and horizontal components for receiving the rollers shafts.
