- Vitamin and Supplement Multipack Packaging: Groups multiple bottles of vitamins, protein supplements, nutritional tablets and capsules into shrink-wrapped bundles for retail, wholesale or distribution packaging.
- Spice and Seasoning Packaging: Bundles compatible rigid spice jars, seasoning bottles and packaged culinary ingredients into multipack configurations for food manufacturing and distribution operations.
- Personal Care Product Packaging: Groups packaged vitamins, cosmetics, lotions, creams, shampoos and other compatible personal care bottles for secondary packaging and shipment preparation.
- Household Chemical Packaging: Provides shrink film bundling for compatible rigid bottles containing detergents, cleaning agents, disinfectants and other packaged household chemical products.
- Contract Packaging and Repackaging: Supports packaging operations that handle multiple container types, product lines or customer packaging requirements, subject to available machine adjustments and change parts.
- Secondary Packaging and Distribution: Creates shrink-wrapped bundles of individually packaged products for easier handling, inventory management, case packing and transportation.
SUITABLE PRODUCTS / MATERIALS
- Pharmaceutical Bottles: HDPE, PET and other compatible rigid containers holding tablets, capsules, caplets, powders and other packaged pharmaceutical products.
- Vitamin Bottles: Plastic bottles containing multivitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, B-complex supplements and other packaged vitamin products.
- Nutraceutical Containers: Bottles containing herbal supplements, probiotics, digestive enzymes, minerals, amino acids and other nutritional supplements.
- Dietary Supplement Bottles: Rigid containers holding capsules, tablets, softgels and other packaged dietary supplement products.
- OTC Healthcare Bottles: Packaged over-the-counter medications, pain relievers, antacids, allergy products and other healthcare products in suitable rigid containers.
- Spice Jars: Plastic and glass jars containing spices, dried herbs, seasoning blends, pepper, salt and other packaged culinary ingredients.
- Personal Care Bottles: Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, liquid soap and other packaged cosmetic or personal hygiene products.
- Household Cleaning Containers: Rigid bottles containing liquid detergents, surface cleaners, disinfectants, cleaning concentrates and other household cleaning products.
- Plastic Bottles: Compatible round, square, rectangular or oval HDPE, PET and other rigid plastic bottles, depending on machine setup and product handling requirements.

Omega identifies low-density polyethylene shrink film as a material used in its shrink bundling equipment, although compatibility with this particular DL-27 should be confirmed.
Product compatibility depends on container dimensions, stability, lane spacing, film specifications, grouping configuration and available machine adjustments.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
- What is the Omega Design Model DL-27 automatic shrink bundler used for?
The Omega Design DL-27 is an automatic dual lane shrink bundling machine designed to group compatible rigid containers and wrap them in shrink film. Common applications include secondary packaging of pharmaceutical bottles, nutraceutical containers, vitamin bottles, spice jars and personal care products. The integrated shrink tunnel applies heat to shrink the film around the grouped products.
- What is the production capacity of the Omega Design DL-27?
The machine is capable of processing approximately 200–240 bottles per minute, depending on product size and infeed configuration. Actual throughput will depend on container dimensions, bundle arrangement, product handling and machine operating conditions. This rating is expressed in individual bottles per minute rather than finished bundles per minute.
- What is the advantage of a dual lane shrink bundler?
A dual lane shrink bundler is designed to handle product grouping and wrapping across two lanes. This configuration can support higher bottle throughput and packaging efficiency compared with configurations processing similar products in a single lane. The DL-27 includes dual main product pushers for automatic bottle grouping and handling.
