Shrink Wrap vs. Bagging Photos

Shrink wrapping and bagging are two of the most common methods for protecting individual books.

While their costs are similar, typically ranging from $0.20 to $0.50 per piece depending on order quantity, each method has its own advantages and drawbacks.

Bagging Wrap

Books are placed in snug-fitting plastic bags and sealed with double-sided tape.

Pros:

• Can be opened and resealed
• Ideal for selling at events
