RECOMMENDED GAUGE:
- Gauge is a measure of film thickness - 55 gauge is thin and 200 gauge is thick.
- Thinner gauges shrink more easily and wrap more packages per roll.
- Thicker gauges are for wrapping heavy products or items with sharp edges.
- Thicker gauges give a more premium feel to your packaging and offer stronger protection
- Deluxe Polyolefin – Best for odd-shaped items. It shrinks in all directions and offers the finest presentation
***HELPFUL HINTS***
SHRINK FILM
- All film is centerfold, so film comes folded in half lengthways on rolls.
- Centerfold film must be sealed on 3 sides around the product before shrinking.
- To determine mil thickness, divide gauge by 100.
- How to find the film width you need:
***Example: 75 gauge ÷ 100 = 0.75 mil.
CENTERFOLD
For flat items:
- Add the width and height.
- Add 2" for shrinkage.
- Round up to the next whole number.
***Example: 12" L x 8" W x 3.5" H box
- 8" W + 3.5" H = 11.5"
- 11.5" + 2" = 13.5"
- 13.5" rounds up to 14"
Result: 14" film width is required.
For round items:
- Multiply the diameter by 3.14.
- Multiply by 1.1 to add 10% for shrinkage.
- Divide the result by 2.
- Round up to the next whole number.
***Example: 5.5" diameter candle
- 5.5" diameter x 3.14 = 17.27"
- 17.27" x 1.1 = 18.997"
- 18.997" ÷ 2 = 9.4985"
- 9.4985" rounds up to 10"
Result: 10" film width is required.
