I think this is the same stuff florists use to wrap bouquets so you could ask a local florist where they get it from. Not sure it will be cheaper but if you do find out please let us all know.

I just got a couple of rolls from Arquadia.....I think its a bit cheaper than other wholesalers too....The florists film is thinner and not just so good...

The stuff I use is 'florists' - 40 micron 30" x 100m @ £36 for four rolls.

Never had a problem - how does the weight/size/price compare to Arqadia's? (Never knew they sold it actually!)

Hi Robo, looks like you win on this one. Sold as 120m long 800mm wide 17 pounds a roll and they claim it as conservation, wrapping no gauge thickness given, but it is heavier than the florists stuff i used to use.

Dont Lion sell everything? For smaller items the clear bags are good - you can wrap using heatshrink material - you have to use a stiff back if you do this as the shrinkwrap will bend anything that is bendy - but the finished result can look good. Lastly the wrap as described earlier - most packaging firms supply it. Use a high grade sellotape - nothing worse than tape that looks grotty and comes unstuck.

Here's where I get mine and carriers, paper bags etc.
