Very disappointed results-Poor shrink quality
"I recently purchased the Polyolefin Shrink Wrap Bags – 4 x 6, and unfortunately, I have been extremely disappointed with the results. I carefully followed the manufacturer’s instructions and used the recommended temperature because I wanted to make sure the packaging process was done correctly and, most importantly, protect the investment I had made in my handmade soaps. Unfortunately, the bags did not shrink properly. Because they required prolonged exposure to heat in an attempt to shrink them, the soaps themselves began to melt. I was eventually able to get some of the bags to shrink, but only at the cost of damaging and melting my soaps. I lost money on the materials and products I had already invested in, which was very frustrating. The final packaging also did not provide the clean, professional finish I was expecting. In fact, the soaps looked worse after being packaged. The overall result was very disappointing and difficult to describe as a finished, presentable product. I understand that packaging can sometimes require practice, but I followed the manufacturer’s recommended instructions and temperature settings carefully. My experience with this product was unfortunately terrible, and I cannot recommend these shrink wrap bags based on my results. I hope the manufacturer considers improving the product or providing clearer guidance, because this experience resulted in unnecessary product damage and financial loss."

Great for MP soaps, a little hard to shrink
"These bags are softer than the other shrink wrap bags so they don't create sharp corners when they shrink. I also like that a little of the fragrance comes through these so people can still get a good idea of what the soaps smell like. They are a little harder to shrink than the other bags though, I had to fiddle with my heat gun settings a lot more to get them to work. But overall I like these a lot better."

Worked well for me!
"I seal the soap in the bag with a heat sealer (impulse sealer), then shrink it fast with a heat gun. Once you get the knack of your own heat gun, you'll figure out how to shrink these bags. I tend to shrink the sides first, then the top and bottom quickly. Keep your heat gun moving so you don't create a hole in the plastic bag. But even if a small hole is created, it is usually fine and not very noticeable. I love these for stores that want to see the whole soap design but also want them covered to keep the bars clean. You can smell the soap scent through these bags--very important for most customers."

Doesn't shrink good
"I was excited to try those for my mo soap since it says you can smell through them, I bought a lot, they are really hard to make shrinkage, it doesn't shrink well, stay loose with some plies in it, does not look good and when I try to shrink them to the max for it to fit my soap, all I ended up doing was make a burn hole in them. I finally realized that they just shrink a little and that's it. I hate that product. Doesn't look professional. I bought so many bags, now I'm stuck with them. Not worth it just to smell the soap. I rather stick with my pvc real shrinkable bags! Grrrr. . lost a lot of money on that . . . I don't recommend them if you want a good looking finish product in a professionnel look shrink bag."

Best on the Market!
"I use these bags to protect my CP soaps. My soap is protected, while still allowing the customers to sniff the scent. I have tried others, but they just don't work as well as WSP's. I buy these 1000 at a time!"

My main go to for soap shrink wrap now!
"First few tries i ruined a few bags, until i finally watched a youtube video for how to shrink wrap. Works like a charm now. I also bought a cheap sealer so i can seal all the ends before applying the heat gun. Looks professional and keep my bars clean and you can still smell strong bars through the material. Definitely would recommend these to others!"

The best
"WSP have the best skrink wraps, I was not having much success with others I bought, they would cripple up and looked very unprofessional. They are so easy to use, I'll never buy anything else from now on."

Professional look
"I have tried numerous brands of shrink wrap bags off Amazon, Etsy, EBay and more! From cheap to expensive. I Have found that these shrink wrap bags are one of the best to use. I use them for melt and pour soaps, Cold Process, Bath Bomb's etc; basically anything that fits. They are easy For me to use and I have Rheumatoid arthritis. I really like that scent of the soap comes through the wrap. I use an impulse heat sealer and it works just fine."
