Packaging
« on: May 10, 2010, 02:48:11 am »
Hi Every one
I have made a few jig saw puzzels and was wanting to know how is the best way to package them for selling, I have tried cling wrap but it tends to wrinkle and looks a bit messy
Cheers
Jimbo

I purchased a pack of shrink wrap pockets 9 x 14 and a Impulse sealer.  I now shrink wrap everything.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

 For my puzzles I like to make a wooden box with a sliding top on it. Easy to make and adds a touch of class to something that's a little out of the ordinary.

You could also use one of those "Seal-a-meal" type of machines.  They have bags that are pretty good size and on a roll.  They will wrap and kind of suck all the air out too, so they will be similar to the shrink wrap.  I don't really know how the cost would compare to the shrink wrap, but it will give you one more option to look into.  The plastic that is used may be a little thicker and stronger too.

Let us know how you do!  Sheila

You can buy shrink wrap at a craft store and use a hair dryer to make it contour your puzzle.Works great. Bobby
