Wrap Like a Pro for the Holidays – Shrink Wrap & Gift Packaging Tips

The holidays are coming up fast, and it’s time to get your gift packaging game in order! If you’re looking for a way to make sure those special presents stay pristine until the big day arrives, why not try shrink wrap? This thin plastic films acts like an invisible shield around presents – shielding them from dust, dirt, moisture and more.

Get organized before you start wrapping. 

If you’re planning on shrink wrapping your holiday gifts this year, it’s important to get organized before you start. First, make sure you have the right supplies on hand. You’ll need shrink wrap, scissors, and tape. It’s also helpful to have a few sizes of shrink wrap to accommodate different gifts. If you’re a store owner, Specialty Store Services carries many different sizes of shrink wrap so that even your more oversized products can be wrapped perfectly for storage, shipping, and presentation. 

Once you have your supplies, plan out your gift displays for a few minutes. This will help you determine how much shrink wrap you need and where to cut it. With some planning, shrink-wrapping your holiday gifts will be a breeze! 

Use the Right Materials 

Professional-looking presents or displays can really draw people in. High quality wrapping paper, ribbon & tape will give you a polished edge for those special occasions like Christmas. For added protection during shipping, try shrink wrap – the perfect way to secure items and still look great!  

When choosing shrink wrap, select a size that will fit your products snugly. Using the wrong materials can result in ripped paper, frayed ribbons, and cracked boxes. But with the right supplies, you can create beautiful, professional-looking packages that impress your friends and customers. 

Follow a Simple Process 

To shrink wrap an item, you will need a shrink wrap gun or a shrink wrap sealer system. Shrink wrap systems help distribute heat evenly so that the shrink wrap adheres smoothly to the item’s surface. 

In the shrink wrapping process, just cut your desired sized piece of shrink wrap and cover up whatever item you want wrapped. Use either a special sealer or system for evenly distributing heat that helps form it closely around the surface. Once done, just trim any remaining excess and let cool before showing off your newly fresh-out-of-the factory looking product! Then, your item will be securely wrapped and ready for storage or transport. Following these simple steps, you can shrink wrap any item with ease. 

Be creative with your designs. 

Be creative with your designs. 

Shrink wrapping can transform an ordinary object into a work of art – gift displays, furniture pieces even entire rooms are fair game for this special material’s unique makeover power. And don’t worry about color constraints either – there are lots of vibrant colours and patterns available so that you can find the perfect style for every project.

Store your wrapping supplies properly so they’re ready when you need them next year. 

When it comes to shrink wrapping, there are two main options: shrink bags and shrink wrap. Shrink bags will be perfect for keeping odd-shaped gifts secure while shrink wrap offers great coverage on bigger pieces.

Whichever type of shrink wrap you use, be sure to store it properly, so it doesn’t become damaged or unusable. Store in a cool place away from the sun – keeping it out of direct sunlight can help protect against cracking or tearing. If there’s time, store in its original packaging to avoid damage like dust getting on the product. Good thing too because with proper care you’ll get multiple uses out of your shrink wrap; what an economical way to save money and reduce waste at the same time!
