Heat Shrink Bags for Packaging in South Africa: Soap, Bath Bombs & Craft Seals

A maker-friendly guide to shrink wrap bags that seal cleanly without overbuying sizes.

When to use heat shrink bags

Ideal for soaps, bath bombs, candles, and small boxed goods where you want a tamper-evident, glossy seal.

Choosing a size

  1. Measure product L × W × H
  2. Add breathing room for folds
  3. Start with a multi-size pack if you sell mixed SKUs

Tips for clean shrinks

  • Use even heat (heat gun, not open flame)
  • Keep bags dry before sealing
  • Test one unit before running a batch

Shop shrink wraps

Pair with frosted ziplock packaging bags for soft-goods.
