Common Questions
Q: What size gift basket fits in a 16x22 shrink bag?
A: These bags work beautifully for medium to large gift baskets, typically those built on bases up to about 12 inches wide and 16 inches tall. The PVC film has excellent stretch and conformity, so it will wrap snugly around baskets slightly larger than the flat bag dimensions.
Q: Can I use a hair dryer or do I need a heat gun?
A: While these bags shrink at lower temperatures than some films, we recommend using a heat gun for the best results. A heat gun provides more consistent, even shrinking. Hair dryers generally don't get hot enough and may leave wrinkles or loose spots.
Q: How do I get a smooth, professional finish without wrinkles?
A: Start by centering your basket in the bag with even excess on all sides. Gather the excess at the top and secure with a twist tie. Begin shrinking from the bottom, working your way up in slow, even passes. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid burning or distorting the film.
