Aurora Wide Shrink Sleever - Label Application for Multipacks

The Aurora Wide Shrink Sleever is engineered to apply lower‑gauge shrink sleeve films up to 400 mm in layflat width, making it ideal for broad containers and multipack applications. Aurora Wide systems operate at speeds up to 250 cpm, delivering a balance of high throughput, efficiency, and dependable performance. The mandrel‑style mechanism ensures smooth material control, consistent sleeve placement, and repeatable quality with minimal intervention.

Aurora Wide supports a wide range of shrink sleeve applications, including multi‑pack product bundles for beverages and household goods. The system integrates seamlessly with upstream and downstream packaging equipment and can be paired with high‑performance shrink tunnels using hot‑air, infrared, or steam technology to achieve consistent shrink quality across various film materials and container geometries.

Tool‑less container changeovers take less than ten minutes, reducing downtime and making the machine well‑suited for operations with frequent SKU changes. The equipment also includes multiple perforation options—horizontal, T‑style, and vertical—to meet different application and opening requirements. Electric height adjustment with push‑button control helps streamline production setup and recipe transitions.
