Hello Doctor,
I’m writing to you as the wife of a farmer, and we run a small farm shop that’s doing pretty well. We sell fresh produce and camping gear to tourists, and one of our most popular items has been kindling for campfires. It’s a big hit with hikers who want to enjoy the outdoors. But here’s the catch—our kindling is sold loose, and when it rains, it’s basically useless. We’re looking for a way to package it in weatherproof bags. Do you have any suggestions? Since we sell a lot of this stuff, we need something practical and straightforward.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Best,
Joy
Hello Joy,
Kindling typically comes in different lengths, so for your situation, I'd recommend using polythene lay-flat tubing. This material allows you to create custom-sized bags that fit your kindling perfectly. Simply slide the tubing over the kindling and seal the ends with a heat sealer. This method ensures a fully waterproof bag, and the durable polythene will also resist tearing, even under rough handling. It's perfect for keeping your kindling dry no matter the weather.
When it comes to choosing a heat sealer, a basic tabletop model with built-in cutters should work well for your current volume. These models are user-friendly and can handle everyday use without much hassle. If you plan to increase production later on, investing in an industrial-grade heat sealer might be worth considering. Both types of sealers are designed to make packaging quick and efficient, and we’ve got some demo videos available to guide you through the process.
Let me know if you have any more questions about getting started. Wishing you all the best with your business!
Best wishes,
The Packaging Doctor
