Shanghai KUKO Packing Machinery Co., Ltd. is the Fully Closed Sealing and Shrink Wrapping Machine manufacturer behind a full range of enclosed seal-and-shrink systems. Based in Shanghai, China, we build equipment that combines feeding, wrapping, precise sealing/cutting and hot-air shrinking in one automated process. The enclosed body reduces heat loss, keeps film debris inside the machine and helps plants maintain a clean production environment while producing tight, protective packages.
This category is part of our wider products range, which also includes sleeve sealing shrink wrapping machines, pallet wrapping machines and film wrapping equipment. Within the fully closed sealing and shrink wrapping line, we offer fully automatic and semi-automatic configurations across low-, medium- and high-speed series, with over 200 models covering food, daily chemical, electronics, hardware, logistics, pharmaceutical and furniture applications.
A Complete Sealing and Shrink Wrapping Range
The category is organized into two operating levels so you can scale automation to your batch size, line speed and labor model. Both levels share the same enclosed tunnel design, stable temperature control and balanced airflow that define this product family.
Designed for large-scale production with no real-time human intervention. The machine completes the full process from feeding to wrapping, sealing, cutting and shrinking, and can be directly integrated with automated production lines.

Fully-Auto Models for Continuous Line Integration
The fully automatic machines are engineered for 24/7 stable operation. They use intelligent sensing for material identification and process control, so the sealer and shrink tunnel respond to the product on the conveyor without constant human supervision.
We configure the sealing/cutting assembly to match package geometry and throughput. Side-sealer and corner-sealer versions are the best fit when products arrive continuously on an infeed conveyor, while L-bar versions suit regular rectangular products that need clean cross seals on the leading and trailing ends. The mix production model is intended for plants that need to handle several product specifications on one integrated line.
Semi-Auto Models for Flexible Batch Work
The semi-automatic line emphasizes easy operation and quick changeovers. Operators load the product and start the cycle; the machine handles sealing, cutting and heat shrinking inside the same enclosed cavity as the fully automatic models.
The L Bar Sealer and Shrink Tunnel is the conventional choice for pillow-style wrapping of individual products or grouped items. The Semi-auto Corner Sealer and Shrink Tunnel provides an alternative for packages where the film must be closed around all four corners for a tighter fit. Both models have low site requirements, flexible start-stop behavior and straightforward debugging.
Process Performance and Design Features
The fully enclosed structure does more than contain heat. It reduces energy loss, prevents film scraps from escaping into the workshop and keeps the production area cleaner. The temperature control system operates stably, and the balanced airflow inside the oven gives the film a natural, uniform adhesion over the product contour.
- Compatible with mainstream shrink films on the market
- Minor parameter adjustments for different package sizes and standard shapes
- Robust transmission structure with low vibration and noise
- Low failure rate over long-term use
- Routine maintenance limited to cleaning the oven chamber and sealing/cutting area, plus inspection of wiring and transmission components
For operator safety, the machine should be placed horizontally, and personnel should avoid touching the sealing/cutting area and the high-temperature furnace body during operation.
Controls, Automation and Line Integration
Because these machines are usually placed between an upstream filling or cartoning line and a downstream palletizer, we configure the control system around the required line interface. PLC/HMI operation, synchronized conveyor speeds and MES system connectivity are part of the integration scope we support.
For end-of-line projects, we combine these sealers and shrink tunnels with non-standard conveying lines and upstream or downstream equipment. This lets us supply a single-source line from product infeed to pallet-ready packages, with consistent control logic across all stations.
Quality Assurance and Manufacturing
The mechanical quality of this category starts in our own workshop. We operate two production bases in Kunshan Zhouzhuang Industrial Park and Shanghai Sheshan Industrial Park, with a combined workshop area of 34,000 square meters. German IPG high-precision laser cutters and imported servo bending machines are used for sheet metal fabrication, giving the machine frame, sealing jaws and tunnel body consistent dimensional accuracy.
KUKO is ISO 9001 certified, holds EU CE conformity certificates, and is recognized as a Shanghai High-Tech Enterprise and a Specialized and Sophisticated Enterprise. These certifications support the repeatability and safety requirements of plants that run sealing and shrink lines continuously.
Information We Use to Configure Your Solution
To prepare a proposal, we need enough detail about the product and line to select jaw size, tunnel opening, conveyor width and control features. The table below shows the project inputs we ask for and how they affect the configuration.
| Project input |
Why it matters |
| Product dimensions, weight and shape |
Sets the sealing/cutting jaw size, tunnel opening height and conveyor width |
| Required throughput |
Determines fully-auto vs semi-auto, conveyor speed and cycle time |
| Shrink film type and thickness |
Influences shrink tunnel temperature profile, airflow and sealing bar temperature |
| Upstream/downstream line interface |
Defines infeed/outfeed height, synchronization signals and MES data exchange |
| Site utilities and floor space |
Confirms power supply, ventilation, compressed air if required, and installation layout |
| Product fragility and heat sensitivity |
Sets conveyor speed and temperature limits to avoid deformation or crushed packages |
Project Scope and Support
Based on the project inputs above, we prepare a proposal that includes the machine configuration, line layout, utility requirements, delivery scope and acceptance criteria. We define the acceptance criteria around throughput, seal strength and package appearance so the line can be verified against the agreed production target.
Our support package covers installation guidance, operator training, documentation and after-sales service. All equipment is supplied with a one-year free warranty and lifetime maintenance, helping plants maintain stable output after commissioning.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between your fully-auto and semi-auto sealing and shrink wrapping machines?
Fully-auto models run the entire process without real-time human intervention and are designed for continuous lines with high output. Semi-auto models use simple loading and unloading, retain the closed-cavity structure, and are more economical for small batches and frequent format changes.
Can one machine handle multiple product sizes?
Yes, within the machine's dimensional range. Minor parameter adjustments to the sealing/cutting station, conveyor speed and tunnel temperature allow switching between different package sizes and standard shapes.
Which shrink films are compatible?
Our fully enclosed sealing and shrink wrapping machines are compatible with various mainstream shrink films on the market. When you provide the film type and thickness, we set the tunnel temperature and airflow profile accordingly.
How does the fully enclosed structure improve the plant environment?
The enclosed oven body reduces heat loss and prevents film debris from escaping into the workshop. This lowers energy consumption and keeps the surrounding production area cleaner.
Do you support MES integration?
Yes. Machines in this category can be engineered for MES system connectivity, allowing production status and line data to be integrated into your existing manufacturing execution system.
What information should we prepare for a quotation?
Provide product dimensions and weight, target output per minute or hour, shrink film details, line layout, existing equipment interface heights, site utilities and any product heat sensitivity. With that information, our engineering team can prepare a configuration and proposal suited to your production target.
