Shrink Bag FAQs
What is a shrink bag?A shrink bag is a pre-made bag of clear PVC shrink film that tightens around a product when heat is applied. Ours are made from FDA food-safe seamless tubing in 80 gauge and 100 gauge, ship flat, and are sized Width × Height for food trays, gift baskets, retail items, and boxed goods. What temperature do I need to shrink these bags?Our PVC shrink bags activate between 250-350°F. A standard heat gun on a medium-high setting works perfectly, and for high-volume production a shrink tunnel ensures consistent results. What is the difference between 80 gauge and 100 gauge shrink bags?80 gauge is the lighter, more economical film for items under about 2 lbs — jewel cases, mugs, cookie boxes, cosmetics — while 100 gauge is the heavier film for gift baskets in the 5-20 lb range, market trays, nested multi-item boxes, and hardware. Both use the same FDA food-safe PVC and shrink at the same temperature. Are shrink bags food safe?Yes — every shrink bag we stock is FDA-approved for direct food contact. They are used daily for bakery items, candy and confections, cheese and gourmet trays, coffee and tea gift sets, and dry goods such as spice blends. Can I use shrink bags for frozen food?Yes. Our shrink bags are freezer-safe and help protect against freezer burn, which is why they are commonly used for frozen meat, seafood, and prepared meals. Are shrink bags recyclable?PVC shrink film is recycling code #3 and is recyclable where facilities accept flexible plastics. Check with your local recycling program, since acceptance of #3 film varies by municipality. Do you offer custom printing or custom sizes on shrink bags?Our stock shrink bags are unprinted, but custom sizes are available on request and we can connect you with custom printing options for larger orders.
