For bottled water factories, the 24 bottle water pack is one of the most common multipack formats for retail sales, wholesale distribution, supermarket supply and palletized transport.
Because a 24 bottle pack is relatively heavy, the shrink film must do more than cover the bottles. It needs to hold the pack tightly, resist tearing during handling and keep the package stable during storage and delivery.
If the film is too thin or shrink performance is unstable, problems may appear: corner tearing, loose packs, wrinkles, weak sealing, poor pallet stability and higher breakage during transport.
Common applications include 330 ml, 500 ml, 550 ml, 600 ml and 1 L bottle packs, tray plus shrink packaging, shrink-only multipacks and printed water bottle multipacks.
Film thickness is one of the most important factors. As a general reference, light small-bottle packs may use 45-60 micron, standard 500 ml packs often use 55-75 micron, and heavy or long-distance packs may need 70-90 micron or above.
Film width must match the pack size. If the film is too narrow, it may stretch and tear; if it is too wide, extra material may cause wrinkles and increase cost.
Sealing strength is critical for 24 bottle water packs. The seal area must stay closed after shrinking, lifting, stacking and transport. Wrong temperature, pressure, dust, moisture or worn sealing parts can cause weak seals.
Before ordering, buyers should confirm bottle volume, bottle diameter and height, 4 x 6 pack format or other layout, pack size and weight, clear or printed film, thickness, film width, machine type, order quantity and destination market.
