Abstract

The present invention comprises a movable, heated U-bar sealing device for a shrink wrap apparatus and a method for rapidly and continuously shrink wrapping a load with a flexible material such as a film. The movable, heated U-bar moves with the load as it seals the corners of the load with a film without creating multiple layers of film on the corners of the load.
