Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Know When to Use Cellophane and
When to Shrink Wrap?
The choice depends on the desired appearance
and your budget.
Are you delivering the item by hand, or will it
be shipped? Cello works well for a hand delivery, but if you are shipping, it
may be best to shrink wrap the item for protection as it travels.
Your decision may also depend on budget.
Cellophane easily extends from a roll for placement around a gift. Shrink wrap
requires a heat gun for sealing purposes.
Why is Some Cellophane Wrap Thinner than
Others?
Manufacturers make cellophane in a variety of
grades. It's similar to one item branded with a generic name and another with a premium
logo.
Cellophane sold to the general public in retail
stores is usually thinner than cello sold to retailers through wholesale
facilities.
If you want the premium version, it's wise to
buy from a wholesaler or a facility that makes a better-grade product
available.
Can You Shrink Wrap Cellophane?
Cellophane does not contain the same properties
as shrink wrap, so if heated using a heat gun, cello will not tighten.

between heating cellophane and heating shrink wrap is shown on the video page.
