1A. By using the PacWrap® Shrink Wrapping System,
you'll get exactly the right size shrink bag every time, for better
looking baskets, at a fraction of the cost of 'ready-made' bags. To
measure the amount of film necessary, pull out enough shrink film to
cover the basket. Next, lower the arm on the PacWrap for 2 to 3 seconds.
You now have a custom sized bag, perfect for this basket.
1B. Open the bag and place it over the basket. Notice
the triangular dog-ears.
1C. These dog-ears may be cut and sealed it desired
by using the PacWrap® as shown.
NOTE: Film cost
for this basket is 4-5 cents.
1D. After trimming the dog-ears, place the bag
over the basket and tuck the film down into it using a spatula as shown.
1E. Using
your PacWrap®
Heat Gun, begin at the lip of the basket and shrink around the
circumference. Next, shrink over the top and down the sides. Don't worry
about burning holes in the film. The
PacWrap® Heat Gun can
be placed directly in contact with the film and not burn through. Just
"blow the wrinkles away" as you move the heat gun around the basket.
1F. Add extra filler or accent materials as
desired.
Over the Handle: Enclose your complete basket
2A. Pull out enough #501 Crystal Clear Shrink
Film to cover your basket. Lower the arm on the PacWrap®

the bag and place it over the basket, laying the folded edge of the film
on to the basket handle as shown. If desired, trim the dog-ears by
simply noting their size and using the
PacWrap® as shown in

the bag over your basket and gather/tuck the extra shrink film under
your basket. You may choose to tape the bottom for security, it's up to
you.
NOTE: Film cost
for this basket is 6-7 cents.
2D. Take
the heat gun and hold it right down on the film at the bottom of the
basket. Don't worry, the

way up to the lip of the basket. Next, shrink directly over the handle,
shrinking the film tight to the handle. Finally, using a 'painting'
motion, shrink down the film between the handle and the lip of the
basket.
