hi i wanted to know if there is a shrink wrap for parcels. so far all i have found is pellet wrap. im planning on shipping items in the boxes they come in but would like to give them some extra protection. can some one give me a guide and a place to find this. im also after bubble wrap and documents in side lables.

There is a good company on eBay and Amazon called Envelopemaster who are the cheapest for large rolls of bubble wrap. As for shrink wrapping, you'd need a machine ideally but they are not cheap and because they work to high temperatures, aren't idea for some products. It would be cheaper short/medium term to just use bin bags and selotape, though I don't agree with this route, much prefer custom size boxes to prevent any damage and allow you to pay goods quickly without the need for padding out.

Would second envelopemaster for bubblewrap.

These people do biodegradable mailing bags in various sizes that would protect your boxes (annoying auto-audio alert!)

You would have thought he would have had a shave, straightened his tie and brushed his hair first. Good example of 'first impressions....)

Good link though, cheers

thanks will have a look at these sites. the thought behind shrink wrap was it will keep products dry if left out side. also the items im shipping are steel brackets. from experience these eat through cardboard when being thrown about. the poly bags look good if not pricey. thanks
