Common Questions
Q: What size gift basket fits in an 18x18 shrink bag?
A: These bags comfortably fit gift baskets and boxes up to about 16 inches wide/tall, allowing 1-2 inches on each side for the shrink process. Measure your largest basket and add 2-3 inches to determine if this size works.
Q: Can I use a regular heat gun from the hardware store?
A: Yes! A standard heat gun works perfectly. Start with low heat and keep the gun moving in circular motions about 6-8 inches from the bag. The PVC shrinks at lower temperatures than other films, making it forgiving for beginners.
Q: Do I need a shrink wrap machine?
A: Not at all. These pre-made bags are designed for hand-wrapping with just a heat gun. Simply place your item in the bag, gather the excess at the top or tuck underneath, and shrink. No expensive equipment required.
