I want to encapsulate sweets/objects in large plastic sheets?

I want to be able to encapsulate sweets and other small items in plastic (like a shower curtain with objects inside). How would I go about this, what equipment do I need or where I can possibly get this done.


Thank youI want to encapsulate sweets/objects in large plastic sheets?
Or you can use laminate paper at home with an iron. (put a tea towel between the laminate and the iron though!)





You can't really encapsulate 3D objects this way, but flat objects will work well. Perhaps little squares of printed papers, photos, drawings, whatever is relevant to your theme.I want to encapsulate sweets/objects in large plastic sheets?
I have seen this done years ago in a small factory. There is to much involved to do at home


It requires a lot of room and heat and cutting tools and air suction equipment and it's really to hard to explain the workings of how it's done.I also forget what it is called it's been so long since I have seen it done . But when you see all those things that drive people crazy trying to open up something they bought in a store that has that plastic cover both front and back sealed


with heat that is what you want to do but it isn't plausible for you to do it at home. It goes by the name of Heat Sealing now that I think about it.


Do a Google search under Heat Sealing and equipment and see if it explains to you how it is done.
there are those vacum bag sealer things you can get for putting stuff in the freezer, thought about them? (or if not big enough make yr own using the same principle.


its what i used for some stuff i had that was to big to be put in a laminating machine that i wanted encased in plastic for a sculpture project i had in 3rd year.


or if the stuff you want in plastic is small enough just take it to a laminator at a stationery copy place, they did stuff like leaves and feathers for me. give it a go, you dont know till you ask.
