Title: Where can I buy heat sealing plastic in the UK IRL/AFK
Post by: UKMJ on May 22, 2012, 08:01 am
I am looking to become a vendor and just want to pick up some heat sealing plastic with which to wrap my product. Any ideas either where I could get some or what it is likely to be called (brand)?

Thanks

Surely the same place you got the heat sealer, yes?

If you don't care about actually vacuuming the contents of the bag, virtually any PET-type plastic will work. zipper bags, card sleeves, whatever. The only difference between the brand vacuum packing bags is that they have little grooves to allow the air to be evacuated out.  If you're willing to resort to funky pinching tricks, you can even get cheapo bags to vacuum pack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MrVPC2NIu0
