Besides holding the scent of your product, shrink bags also give your soap or candles that finished look. Shrink bags will shrink down approximately 40%. They are easy to use:

  • Place item inside the shrink bag.

  • Fold bag over and clear tape, seal or just hold the end shut.

  • Use hair dryer or heat gun to shrink bag around the item.

Helpful hints:

  • If too much air stays in the bag, use a pin and make a small hole for the air to escape.

  • Bags shrink approx. 40%. If the bag is too long before shrinking, just cut some off.

  • The slower you shrink, the smoother finished product you will have. Be patient, it is better to shrink on lower heat. An adjustable heat gun is a great investment to product wonderful results. Practice makes perfect.

  • Also, you have the option of cello bags, which are coated to hold in smell. Cello bags do not shrink but can be sealed shut.

  • Never put your soap or candles in poly or kitchen zip bags. It will not protect the scent.
