Candlelovr Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Im looking for a small shrink wrap machine and all the ones Im finding are too big and too expensive. Does anyone have a small one that they didnt have to pay an arm and leg for? Also, is there anyother way to shrink wrap without a machine, such as purchasing the shrink wrap and using my heat gun to seal it? Thank you so much.Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VerticallyEnhanced Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 That is exactly what I do. I purchase the bags and use my heat gun. Works like a charm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 A cheaper way would be to purchase an impulse sealer and a heat gun. Both can be found relatively inexpensively. I got my impulse sealer at Harbor Freight and heat guns can be found at Wal-Mart in the paint section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I use an impulse sealer too. www.harborfreight.com had by far the best price when I was looking.Also contact www.packoinc.com for shrink wrap tubing. They have the best price too and free shipping on orders over $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klippe Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I know this is a dollar short and a day too late, but I came across this thread and had to post my advice. I have always had good luck with Traco and AEI straight bar shrink wrap machines. They are decently priced and won't require your first born. I got my AIE shrink wrap system a few years ago from OfficeZone.com and have had great luck with it. The centerfold film works well for my art prints.
