Appl. No.:

17/011415

Inventors:

- Charlotte NC, US
Donald Durant - Andover MA, US
David Cenedella - Shirley MA, US
Michael Anthony Kalinowski - Nashua NH, US
Thomas P. Orsini - Leominster MA, US
Steven E. Matson - Princeton NJ, US

International Classification:

B65B 53/02
B65C 1/02

Abstract:

An object can be heat-shrinkable packaged by placing an object inside of heat-shrinkable film, sealing the heat-shrinkable film around the object to form a heat-shrinkable package, coupling a first portion of a label to the heat-shrinkable package, and causing the heat-shrinkable film to shrink into heat-shrunk film and the heat-shrinkable package to form into a heat-shrunk package. The label includes an identifier on a second portion of the label. The label remains coupled to the heat-shrunk film after the heat-shrinkable film is caused to shrink into heat-shrunk film. The second portion of the label remains substantially undeformed after the heat-shrinkable film is caused to shrink into heat-shrunk film.
