Common Questions
Q: Do I need special equipment to use these shrink bags?
A: No! These low-temperature PVC bags shrink beautifully with an inexpensive heat gun (around $20-30 at hardware stores). Simply place your item in the bag, gather the open end, and apply heat evenly around all sides. For higher volumes, a shrink tunnel speeds up the process, but it's not required for small batch work.
Q: What size items fit in a 12x12 shrink bag?
A: Items up to about 11" x 11" fit comfortably with room for the shrink process. This includes standard board game boxes, medium gift baskets, photo albums, CD/DVD box sets, and boxed candy assortments. The bag will shrink to conform tightly to your item's shape.
Q: Can I use these for food items like gift baskets with cookies or candy?
A: Yes — PVC shrink film is commonly used for gift basket wrapping. For food items, the contents should be in their own food-safe packaging first (boxes, bags, or wrappers), then the shrink bag goes around the entire assembled basket or gift set.
