Optimax Branded Heat Shrink Chamber Machines

Here at Globe Packaging we are proud to be a leading authorised stockist and distributor of the Optimax branded range of heat shrink chambers, all available for delivery within 1-2 working days within mainland UK.

Optimax branded heat shrink chambers are the most widely used heat shrink machinery in the marketplace, and are an established and proven durable solution for heat shrink requirements. They are simple and straight forward to use, yet designed for demanding work environments with medium to high volume packaging needs. They are available in different models with various chamber sizes, and shrink and seal goods in one smooth operation using heat seal technology. All Optimax branded heat shrink chambers are suitable for use with both PVC and polyolefin shrink film.

What Type Of Film Is Required For Shrink Chambers

The heat shrink chambers stocked here at Globe Packaging are compatible with both PVC heat shrink film, as well as polyolefin heat shrink film. Polyolefin heat shrink film is by far the most widely used heat shrink film in the marketplace for the following reasons:

- Polyolefin heat shrink film offers the best value for money due to the meterage on the rolls compared to PVC film.
- Polyolefin heat shrink film is cleaner to use than PVC shrink film, there are no carbon deposits left on the seal blade of the machine, and no harmful fumes given off when sealing.
- Polyolefin heat shrink film offers a significantly higher puncture resistance compared to PVC film, even in lower thicknesses.
- Polyolefin heat shrink film is much more stable at lower ambient temperatures than traditional PVC film.
- Polyolefin heat shrink film has a lower density than PVC film, making it more cost effective to ship efficiently.
- The polyolefin heat shrink film stocked at Globe Packaging contains a minimum of 30% recycled content, hence no PPT (plastic packaging tax) is included, whereas PVC film cannot be made using post-consumer waste.
