4.) What packaging matierials do you carry?
We carry the largest inventory of pvc packaging materials on the internet.
75 Gauge should be used for small lightweight items. It is thinner than
our 100 Gauge. 75 Gauge is not suitable for large, bulky, heavy weight items.
Products should be light weight and have no sharp edges.
100 Gauge Film is extremely strong and puncture resistant. It can conform
to baskets and unusual shaped products. 100 Gauge is ideal for most applications.
Colors and custom printed shrink film and bags are available. We will custom
print any design or any color you request. Call for pricing
Tube Film can be used for many applications. It is a solid tube and can
be cut to any length for very long or unusual shaped items. For example,
If you like a frilled top on you gift basket you can extend the tube as
long as you like over the top of the basket and tie it off with a decorative
ribbon or decorative string. Then shrink it on starting at the bottom of
the basket working your way around and up the basket evenly.
Inquiries Film

9.) How do I shrink a bag?
Materials / Supplies Needed: Heat gun, Tape, Ribbons, Bows or other Accents
Gently open the bag and place it over the basket. Carefully gather and tuck
extra wrap under your basket. Proceed with shrinking the wrap by directing
the heat gun towards the bottom of the basket, moving around the basket.
Next, direct the heat gun to the handle, shrinking the wrap tight to the
handle. Finish your basket by using a back-and-forth motion to shrink the
wrap between the handle and the lip of the basket. Accent with ribbons,
bows, or other decorations.

10.) How to Measure a Basket for the Correct Size
Bag?
With a flexible measuring tape, measure the entire circumference of the
basket (the widest part, all the way around). Then add 10% to that measurement
and divide by 2. This will give you the width of the bag you will need for
the particular basket. Always round up to the nearest even number.
Measure the basket all the way around from top to bottom, add 10% and divide
by 2. This will give you the correct height of the bag you will need. Should
you not want the bag to go completely around the bottom you can deduct approximately
1 to 2 inches, this is a matter of preference. Our sizes are all listed,
width by height.
After taking these steps to determine the correct size, if you are still
not sure, please give us a call.
