"After these are shrink wrapped do they have a soft like plastic wrap or are they hard like plastic?"

Staff Answer The way a shrink wrapped product feels would be a personal opinion. We have heard from other customers that the Polyolefin shrink wrap feels softer than the PVC shrink wrap. We recommend ordering a smaller quantity for testing purposes.

Staff Answer You can use both the 4 x 6 and the 6 x 6 bags. You can cut them down a bit if they are too big.

"Would this fit a 4x4 1/2 candle without a problem?"

Staff Answer The Katharina - This shrink wrap bag is 6 inches by 11 inches. The candle would fit inside without a problem, but might be too big. You can always cut this bag down to size to fit your candle better. The 6x6 shrink wrap bag might be a better fit.

"Would these bags be suitable to use on an 8 ounce jar? I make sugar scrubs and can't seem to keep them from leaking, so was thinking of using these bags to help with that issue."

Staff Answer The 6x11 is a bit too tall for our 8oz jars. I would recommend the 6x6 shrink wrap bag. These will provide a better fit and should shrink around the jars without any excess.

Can you offer some suggestions regarding the leakage issue? I changed the formulation of my scrubs but there is still seepage from the covers and it not only makes a mess in transport, but it also looks unprofessional. I was thinking of using the shrink wrap bags over the jar, then screwing the cover down over the shrink wrap. Does this seem like a reasonable way to package?

Staff Answer That might work. You may also want to consider adding an additional press n seal liner for leak protection: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/jars-tins/tops-closures/press-seal-disc-liners.aspx

"do these have to be closed with a heat sealer? or will tape do just fine? the tape won't come undone?"

Tape will do and won't come undone. You just won't get the finish that shrinking the plastic gives to the product.

"When your done shrink wrapping your soap can you cut off the part you taped down? Or will that make a hole in the package? I watched the video but she left the taped parts alone after she finished shrink wrapping them, i don't really want that on my soaps if i decide the shrink wrap them. So do you leave them or can you get rid of them for a cleaner look?"

Staff Answer If you remove the taped parts after shrinking the bag you will end up with a hole in your wrapping that will allow air to reach your finished product. If you would like to cover up the tape, we suggest placing your label over it. Or we have stickers that are embossed with the word 'Handcrafted'. These can be used as well to cover the tape. Here is a link to them: http://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CatalogID=9&GroupID=768&CategoryID=1953&ProductID=7371&ProductName=Handcr

I just slide my bar into the package and seal with the heat gun, if you point the heat gun at the ends where it looks "messy" it usually melts nicely. I never have had to trim any excess wrapper off. (if you have excess maybe consider getting smaller sized bags.) Hope this helps!

Instead of cutting it, you could try heat sealing it. Many people simply use an old iron and slide it across. That will seal the plastic so that when it's shrinked, there's no excess left over or needing to be taped.

"HOW exactly do you use these? I see people saying they tape them. Do you take the tape off after you shrink them? Do you use a hairdryer or an hot gun for these? With the lack of instruction, I would be hesitant to use these."

Hello, For shrink wrap bags I suggest using a heat gun on the first (low temp) setting. You can place your product in them and tape/label them. I normally put my soaps in them, fold the top over and then use my heat gun to create a fitted seal around my soap. Thank You For Your Question Erin

Staff Answer We recommend taping them closed and leaving the tape on after shrinking the bag. Many customers then place their label over the tape. We use a hair dryer when using the shrink wrap bags but a heat gun is also effective.
