How do I determine what size of cellophane bag I need?
Measure the width (side to side) of the basket or container and measure the diameter (front to back) and add the width plus the diameter and you will get the width of your bag.
For example: Basket is 12" from side to side and 6" from front to back the correct width of bag would be 18".
For Round items you can usually subtract a few inches from the width total
Example a 10" round plate would require a 18x24 bag.
These measurements are an estimate and are not a guaranteed fit and may vary slightly due to a variance of measurement.
How do I determine what size of shrink bag I need?
Using a flexible fabric measuring tape, measure your height dimension and add 10%. Measure the width or depth and add 10%. This 10% will give you the extra play for ease of insertion.
Shrink bags can be ordered a little large as they will shrink up to 60%.
To find out if your product will fit into a shrink bag, follow these instructions:
- Measure your Gift.
- Height - Front, Bottom, Back + 10%; Divide by 2 = Bag Height
- Width - Front, Sides and Back + 10%; Divide by 2 = Bag Width
- Example: Total Height = 40" + 10% (4") = 44"; Divide by 2 = 22" Height Bag
- Example: Total Width = 47" + 10% (5") = 52"; Divide by 2 = 26" Width Bag
-
You need a 22" height x 26" width bag.
