Abstract
Apparatus for activating heat shrinkable ribbon on disposable garments and other articles in which the ribbon is absorbent of electromagnetic radiation and is bombarded by infrared rays for a time long enough to activate and shrink the ribbon. Heated convection air may be directed past the infrared radiators toward the ribbon to cool the radiators and maintain a desired spectral distribution of the radiation.
