There are many features that should be available in a wrapping machine. The priority of these features depends on the company and the buyer and here are some of these specifications that must be taken into consideration before buying

• Warranty might be the most important thing to consider before buying any machine, including wrapping machinery.
• The materials used: Some machines are not equipped to use different types of wrapping materials such as plastic or film …etc. Be careful before buying the machine if you’re planning to use different types of wrappers.
• Function is also important since some machines are designed to fill, wrap, and seal at the same time while others might only be able to do one or two of these tasks.
• The applications of the machine can also be tricky. Some machines are specialized in food such as chocolate. Other types are equipped to wrap and seal medical and other types of materials if you’re planning to use the machine for several purposes.
• Power supply should also fit your factory’s specifications and the electrical system of the country. Additionally, the machine should fit your needs but not waste too much energy for a small amount of products.
• Certifications can tell of you if the machine meets the international standards or not. There are many certifications to prove the efficiency of the machine such as CE, UL, and ISO
• The size of the machine is very important as well. Most wrapping and packaging machines are relatively big and horizontal and require a spacious room to be installed in. Semi-automatic wrapping machines need more space that the fully-automated machines, for example.
• The speed of the machine is the main factor that specifies the amount of production. Even if you’re not planning to increase your production on the short term, the faster the better for the long-term.
• The availability of the materials or supplies to be used is usually ignored but it is very important to take into consideration as well. Some materials are not easy to find or might be very expensive and not convenient. You don’t want to buy a machine that needs a huge budget to keep it working.
• The grade of automation might not be very essential for small projects. However, if you’re planning to scale up in the future, you might consider a fully-automated machine rather than a semi-automatic one. You can also buy a semi-automatic machine that is upgradable when needed.
