shrink wrap lip balm

[charlotteda]

I'm having trouble with my preforated shrink wraps for standard lip balm tubes. I got them from Wholesale Supplies.. If I put them on far enough down to completely cover my label - when I shrink them they dont overlap the top enough to be easy to get off. Have I confused you yet ?

In other words, I have a label that is the full length of the tube and I wanted the shrink wrap thing to cover the label and help keep it from coming off. When I slide the wrap down to the bottom I dont have enough length left to allow easy removal. Anyone have any experience with this ?

Thanks

I use the shrink with the "T-Perf". this means that there is a line down from the top just the length of the cap, then around the cap. so to unwrap you take the shrink off the cap but leave it on the body of the tube. I use it for my ovals but they are great for round too.

Agree with Carebear on Elements. I use their pull-tab style. Covers the whole tube very well.

I hadn't seen the tab ones. Does the top portion pull off leaving the barrel of the container still wrapped?

No. It's a pull tab on the top that zips the entire side open. Shrink doesn't stay on. I use glossy labels on the tube, so I don't mind. I'd rather have it stay on, though, if my labels were matte.

I second the T-Perfs from Elements. They are great!!

I made the mistake of purchasing the perforated shrink bands from WSP... they do not fit correctly... I even contacted their customer service about it and the customer service person wasn't helpful at all... kinda left a bad taste in my mouth about WSP. Glad to know now that it wasn't just me...

Try the ones from http://www.lipbalmtubes.com they fit perfectly
