Know what you are wrapping to buy the best size shrink wrap for the most efficient packing without waste and the best presentation.

Save yourself time and hassle when shopping online with us – Shop baskets first, and in the description, see the description that notes “suggested shrink wrap cap” or “suggested shrink wrap sleeve.” We’ve tested ALL of our baskets so you know a shrink size that fits!
Suggested Shrink Wrap Cap: SC-22X15C
Suggested Shrink Wrap Sleeve: SCS-24X36C
When using other containers or gifts, remember, most shrink wrap will shrink 40-50%! It’s better to buy a bigger size if you are unsure. You can shrink it down, but it will not stretch!
To help when shopping online with us, check the “other info for web” field on the shrink wrap item description on our site. This tells you the largest perimeter size basket the shrink will fit.
The maximum outside perimeter of a basket that this shrink will cover is 42"
Overall, in our product descriptions, the first measurement is always the width when the product is flat on a table. So, if the first number is 12”, it is actually 24” around when opened. The second number is the full length of the cap or sleeve. This is important when using a basket with a handle or a tall gift. If you need to cover a basket that is 13” tall, make sure your sleeve is at least 20” tall to cover the basket and gather or your shrink cap is 15” tall to seal underneath.
Shrink wrap film supplies are used with shrink wrapping machines to bundle or package goods for distribution.

When shrink wrap film is stretched it becomes warm to the orientation of its molecules an initial random pattern. When shrink wrap film sets or cools the film stabilize until it is reheated: this causes it to shrink back toward its initial dimensions. A shrink film can be made to shrink in one direction or in two directions.
Orientation on a commercial scale can be achieved using either of two processes: a tenterframe or a bubble process.
Tenterframe technology is used to produce a variety of “heat-set” products, with BOPP being the most common (heat-setting is a process whereby a film is reheated in a constrained state such that the shrink properties are destroyed).
The second commercial process is the bubble process, sometimes referred to as the tubular process. In this process, a primary tube is produced by either blowing or casting the tube onto an external or internal mandrel, respectively. It is common to use water to help cool the primary tube at this point. After the primary tube has been cooled, it is then reheated and inflated into a second bubble using air much like a balloon is blown. Upon inflation, the tube is oriented in both directions simultaneously.
The family of shrink film supplies has broadened over the years with many multilayer constructions being sold today. Shrink film attributes include shrink, sealability, optics, toughness, and slip. With regard to shrink properties, there are onset temperature, free shrink, shrink force, shrink temperature range, memory, and overall package appearance.
Shrink wrap is also commonly used within more industrial applications using a heavier weight shrink film supplies. The principles remain the same with a heat shrinking process using a hand held heat gun. The following shrink wrap applications are becoming more widely used and accepted:
Industrial shrink wrap containment of large plant equipment/components
Scaffold wrap containment of buildings/bridges
Building temporary shrink wrap structures for storage or other business operational uses
Marine shrink wrapping of boats and other vehicles
Shrink wrapping of palletized freight
Disaster contingency and relief projects such as damaged buildings/roofs
