1. How to choose the sizes and thickness of PVC products?

• Determine the tubing size you need:
  Measure the circumference of the object to be wrapped and add 10%. Divide that number by 2, this is the size of tubing you need. If the size you need is not available, a larger size can be used because the tubing film has a 40% overall shrinkage rate.

• Centerfold Shrink Wrap Film shrinks uniformly in all directions when controlled heat is applied. It provides a skin tight wrapping without wrinkling. Gives crystal clear packaging in seconds. Sizes are available from 10" to 36", with thickness of 75 and 100 gauge. Available in 500, 1500 and 2000 feet rolls. The shrink films have a 40% overall shrinkage rate in each direction, and are ideal for wrapping difficult shaped objects.
  75 gauge is used for packaging light products, usually under 12 lbs, and 100 gauge film is recommended for products over 12 lbs, but not over 30 lbs.

• Shrink bag provides the easiest, fastest and most economical way to shrink wrap any item including gift baskets. Rectangular, square and dome shape shrink bags are available in different sizes. Shrink bags speed up packaging operation. Ideal for the music, gift basket, publication, soap, candle and many other retail products in various industries. The dome shape shrink bags are commonly referred to as gift basket bags. They are designed specifically for baskets with handles or oval and round shapes. The arc of the shrink bag will fit perfectly around the handle or bottom without leaving "dog ears". Vent holes in the shrink bags prevent ballooning. (You can easily make a vent hole by yourself if necessary. Our bags come without vent hole)

• Determine the bag size you need.
  Measure the package around its widest point (you get biggest circumference), add 10% to the number and divide it by 2 to determine the width (W) of your bag. Measure the package around its tallest point (you get another biggest circumference), add 10% to the number and divide it by 2 to determine the height (depth) or (L) of your bag. If the size you need is not available, a larger size can be used because the shrink bag has a 40% overall shrinkage rate.
