I
noticed a lot of people having trouble trying to decide if they want to
shrink wrap. Along with that, there is the decision to buy or not
to buy a sealer. I hope this short picture site will help in making
that decision. A sealer is a big investment that may not be
right for everyone. Hopefully this will give you a good idea of
what a sealer can do.
These
are pictures of the items that will be sealed in their bags
or tubes
These
are pictures of actually sealing the bags or tubes.
When
you have your machine down you can pull the bag away and it will
cut.
To
get the air out of your bag you slice a very small cut into the
back in your shrink wrap so the air can escape.
I
have heard that some people use a hair dryer, but I have never had
one hot enough. I use a heat gun to shrink
When
I shrink I start on the bottom and get a lot of the play out of
the sealed bag. When the bag snugs up I turn the item over
and take the last of the wrinkles out. It is important to
keep the heat gun moving. If you heat too long in one place
you can burn a hole in the package.
