Buying Guide
What size should you choose?
For mixed product packaging, a multi-size pack is convenient. For single-item lineups, select sizes that closely match your product dimensions to minimize waste and achieve a tighter seal.
What material to expect?
Most common options are PVC-based shrink bags or heat shrink bands. PVC offers good clarity and strong shrinkage but may require proper ventilation and careful handling in confined spaces. Bands provide fast tamper-proof sealing for bottles and small jars.
What equipment is required?
A standard heat gun or a hair dryer with adjustable heat is typical. Use low to medium heat and move the tool continuously to avoid overheating and bag distortion.
Is there any safety or usage consideration?
Avoid overheating in enclosed spaces to prevent warping or releasing fumes. Ensure items are dry and free of dust before shrinking for best clarity and seal quality.
