Q: How do you use
your shrink wrap bags?
Answer:
To use shrink wrap:
The bags will shrink up to 40%.
1> Put item in the bag
2> If the bag is too long, you can cut off some extra
3> If you do not have a heat sealer, you could roll the bag over and tape
the flap shut on (outside of) the soap (or whatever it is you're shrink
wrapping).
4> Next is time to add heat, when using a hairdryer it must be 1800 watts or
better. You will also need to set the temperature on high - remember it is
heat that shrinks the bags - the heat from a heat gun is 350 degrees on low
(which is the setting you want to use when using a heat gun). It will take
you a little longer and a little more work to get the package looking
professional when using a hairdryer, but with patience you can do it.
My best advice it to get a heat gun. You can find the least expensive ones
at Target or Zellars. They're called Paint Removers. They're what we use
to package our soaps.
Watch the heat, make sure you don't add the heat directly on the wrap or
you'll develop holes in the shrink wrap.
It takes a bit of practice, but as soon as you get it, its like riding a
bike =)
