Shrink Wrapper Financing in Canada

Packaging plays a vital role in today’s business landscape—especially when it comes to protecting products, enhancing presentation, and improving shelf life. From the fast-moving retail floors of Toronto to industrial parks in Calgary and Montreal’s food production lines, companies rely on shrink wrappers to streamline packaging operations and boost customer satisfaction.

But buying one outright? That can strain cash flow. That’s where Mehmi Financial Group, based in Mississauga, Ontario, steps in. We offer flexible leasing and financing solutions for businesses across Canada—from Halifax and Vancouver to Saskatoon and St. John’s—so you can get the shrink wrapping equipment you need without the upfront burden.

What Is a Shrink Wrapper?

A shrink wrapper is a machine that tightly seals a product in plastic film. Once wrapped, heat is applied to shrink the film snugly around the item, creating a secure, tamper-evident seal. It protects against:

• Moisture
• Dust
• Physical damage
• Unauthorized access

Shrink wrapping is common in retail, manufacturing, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and food industries—anywhere that fast, clean, and secure packaging is essential.

How Does It Work?

Shrink wrapping typically involves three steps:

1. Film Dispensing: Plastic film (PVC, polyolefin, or polyethylene) is fed over or around the product.
2. Sealing: The film is cut and sealed using a heat sealer.
3. Shrinking: Heat tunnels or heat guns apply thermal energy, causing the film to shrink tightly around the item.

Types of Shrink Wrappers

Depending on your production volume and workflow, you can choose:

1. Semi-Automatic Shrink Wrappers

Perfect for small to mid-size businesses. Operators manually feed and position products before heat sealing. These machines are cost-effective and space-efficient.

2. Automatic Shrink Wrappers

These run with minimal human intervention. Products move along a conveyor system, wrapped and sealed in a continuous flow. Ideal for large-scale packaging operations looking for speed and consistency.

Why Financing a Shrink Wrapper Makes Sense

Shrink wrappers can range from $5,000 to over $50,000 CAD depending on automation level and size. Financing allows you to:

• Spread payments over time
• Start using the machine right away
• Keep working capital available for growth
• Enjoy predictable monthly costs
• Upgrade to new technology when needed

We offer both equipment leasing and loans, so you can choose what works best for your business.
