With heat shrink bags you can decorate a mug for example edge to edge (top to bottom and ear to ear). If the handle of the mug is coated, you can decorate this too. You can also print on a much larger surface area than would be possible with a press.
If you have an order for 200 mugs, to do them in a mug press will take 14-17 hours, but with the heat shrink bags, you can put as many in the oven at once as your oven allows and cut this production time dramatically. We have managed to do 1,000 mugs in 6 hours. That gives you an idea of the productivity advantage. The bags are available in different widths and heights, but for maximum versatility, we also sell the material in 5- meter lengths. The advantage here is that you don’t need to keep a whole lot of different bags in stock. You can just purchase the 5-meter length and cut it as you need to. We have these 5- meter lengths in widths of 165mm and 200mm. Should you wish to make a narrower bag out of this material you can invest in a heat sealing machine (you can buy them online for under R 500) and use the heat sealer to “cut and seal” the plastic to any size you need for your project. Bowls are simple to do with the shrink bags, as are the polymer utensils, and pretty much any hard surface item.
