Abstract
This invention relates to a shrink tunnel for heat shrinking film about products to form packages. Most particularly, this invention relates to a shrink tunnel for forming a package of a plurality of cans having a shrink film wrapped thereabout. The tunnel is particularly adapted for effecting the required shrinking of the shrink film about the cans to form a tight package while at the same time being so constructed to prevent undue distortion of a central portion of the shrink wrap whereby the shrink wrap may have a universal product code preprinted thereon with the product being substantially undistorted and readily scannable by a conventional electronic scanner to determine product identification and price.
