Shrink Film

A good way to wrap your products in a professional matter is to use shrink film, a plastic that will shrink to fit the size of your product when heated and protecting it from dirt and dust. But there are many kinds of shrink wrap on the market for all sizes and types of products so it may be hard to find the right one. Here are a few things you should consider before buying your first shrink film.

First, they come in various sizes and formats. The best option if you have a small production and just want to try it is individual bags that allow you to package one item at a time with a heat gun and impulse sealer. They are also slightly more expensive than the other options, but you don’t need to cut them.

If you have a wand sealer that can seal and cut at the same time, tubing or rolls of shrink wrap film will allow you to wrap products faster and save money. This is also a great option if you have products with an uncommon shape that don’t fit in the standard bags on the market. You may want to check in a specialized store for your product or craft, sometimes you can find bags of the right size there.

Another thing you may want to keep in mind is the material used to make the bag. It must be thick enough so your product is wrapped safely and easy to handle. Also, if you have a product that smells good you may want to pay a little extra money for a breathable film. That way, your customers can smell the item, but it’s still protected.

Finally, investing in a shrink wrap system for your products is fully worth it. Everything looks more professional and sharp when packaged in shrink wrap, and you can be sure that your products will be well protected against dust and dirty hands.
