L-Sealers: How They Work and When to Use Them

What Is an L-Sealer?

An L-sealer is a packaging machine that uses an L-shaped sealing bar to cut and seal shrink film around a product in one movement. It’s ideal for centerfold shrink film and is widely used in sectors such as food, cosmetics, publishing, and electronics.

How Do L-Sealers Work?

L-sealers wrap the product in shrink film and seal it on two sides using a hot or micro knife system. The product then passes through a shrink tunnel that tightly conforms the film to the product’s shape, creating a clean, tamper-evident package.

FAQ – L-Sealers

What is the difference between an L-Sealer and a Side Sealer?

An L-Sealer wraps and seals in two steps with an L-shaped bar; a side sealer performs continuous longitudinal sealing, ideal for longer products.

Can L-Sealers be used with all types of shrink film?

L-Sealers are typically used with centerfold polyolefin or polyethylene shrink films. Always check compatibility with the machine’s sealing system.

Are L-Sealers suitable for automation?

Semi-automatic L-Sealers are a great entry point for automation, especially when paired with conveyor belts and shrink tunnels.
