One question often asked during consulting sessions and at trade show demonstrations is: “Which wrapping product is most preferred: cellophane, basket bags, or shrink wrap?”
 
All three wrapping materials enjoy equal popularity. New designers usually start with cellophane because it’s a more cost-effective investment than other materials.
 
Basket bags make packaging quick and easy. It’s a life saver when time and labor must be kept to a minimum, especially when designing lower-cost gifts that look good without a lot of fuss.
 
Some designers swear by shrink wrap, vowing that they’ll never use anything else, while other designers swear at the product. It takes time and patience to gain shrink wrap proficiency. Remember that before you vow never to try it.
 
These three wrapping materials aren’t the only items we use to cover our baskets. There’s also tulle and Abaca. The latter is a man-made material that resembles a fisherman’s net. Crocheted carrying bags with long handles are often made with Abaca.
 
The wrapping products you choose to contain your designs reflect your personal style. If customers are dazzled by your work, you’ll know you made the right wrapping decision.
