I have just bought in a heat gun, heat sealer and some shrink wrap and had a go at sealing up some boxes I have laying around with the film. Boy did those sealed boxes look like shit, it looked like a 2 year old used cling film and a lighter to seal the boxes

I know it will take some practice to get my technique down but i was wondering if you guys had any tips on this front ? I cheaped out on the shrink wrap, im wondering if there is any particular brand or any specific type of plastic film that may be best suited for my purposes. I know that mothered linked up some examples in the blog but i dont want to wait forever for them to be shipped from china so i bought from Amazon instead. On YT i saw people sealing boxes using a film that came off the roll already sealed on 2 sides, that looks like it might make things easier.

To be clear here I am not talking about items like the macbook which have a custom seal on them, for those items I would just buy the sealing materials for that specific item. I am talking about replicating the more general outer plastic film you see on a lot of products.

I have read mother's blog about the SBM so i feel like i have a pretty good grasp of the method just wanted to see if anyone had anything to add to maximize chances of success.

PVC shrink film could potentially be a better choice.

There is alot of youtube videos for how too and maybe company packaging specifications on Google

Do you have that video at your disposal?

Nice, thanks

Looking at company packaging spec is a great idea, good call.

Upon further inspection the vid states that it is 18 inch PVC centerfold shrink roll

Cant seem to find any of the centerfold stuff on Amazon but the PVC shrink wrap bags look like a better option than the non centerfold roll. Anyone got any experience with using the bags ?

Thanks for that.

I'll view It within the next 30 minutes or so.
