Shrink Wrapping Prints

Post by Foresty_Forest »

Have just cellophane wrapped 50 mounted prints by hand. Is there an economical way of shrink wrapping mounted prints? Would it even work? would it save time? Any risk of damaging the prints?

I'm interested in this too.

I have a couple of artists who regularly ask me to cut mounts for them.

I'd like to offer them a shrink wrapping service...

Is there a particular system or way if doing it that you'd recommend?

Thanks!

One way round it is to see if there is a local disabled work-shop in your area.
They often have a shrink wrapping set up as part if their services.
Ask your local authority, as they usually help fund them.
