Shrink Wrapping CDs

we could make a game of it; try to see how many cds we could shrinkwrap in one hour, and then try to break that record.

It's awkward cos there's several thousand CDs. Normally you'd get that amount manufactured, you're right The Sensational Sulk, and get them to do the wrapping but that's not practical cos there are so many different titles in that several thousand (maybe fifty or a hundred copies of each) and they need the ability to knock off a copies as and when, from their premises (so can't get them sent out in bulk peter).

I don't even think I meant shrink-wrapped actually. It's more the very close fitting polythene bag that shop CDs often come in, the same sort of thing you get round packs of cigarrettes.

Does the whole cling film and hair dryer thing look good, the final product? Any links to pics or a how-to? I've never worked in a shop before and I can't think I've even knowingly seen it.

Surely you can buy these online somewhere in bulk.

I worked in a store once that had a very low tech shrink wrap machine that was basically an arm to hold the "wrap" and an arm that had a coil which produced a minor amount of heat, enough to sever the wrap when pressed down. I think we actually used a hair dryer and the wrap shrunk rather quickly to fit tightly around the product.

The wrap came on a roll in a long tube. You put your shit in the tube, cut it to size, then used the heat sealer to pres/seal the two ends. then you used the heat gun (a LOT more powerful than a hairdryer) to shrink the film around your shit.
