Scented Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Another vote for packco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I get my shrink tubing from Packco and would recommend them highly. But for a sealer, I would buy one from Harbor Freight - much cheaper and mine works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcroome2005 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 I just started doing mine as well. Packco and H.F for mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Girl Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'm weird... I have better luck with a 5 year old curling iron than the impulse sealer from Harbor Freight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Packco definitely has the best prices, especially with free shipping.However, Beth-VT sent me some shrinkwrap once from Dougcare, and for some reason, it just seemed to work better for me.http://dougcare.com/packsupplies/shrinkbags.htm#candles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pocha Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just as an FYI: if you have one of those "Seal a Meal" type vacuum food sealers at home you can also use those to seal shrink wrap (at least smaller bags, etc). I tried it myself and it worked like a charm! Just be sure to put it on the "seal only" setting and not "vacuum & seal". Lili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
