Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it self-adhesive? No, this is a traditional heavy-duty wrap. It is much easier to apply than "sticky" plastic because it allows for repositioning and won't trap air bubbles.
• How many books can I cover with 3m? On average, you can cover approximately 5 to 7 standard A4 school textbooks, depending on the thickness of the spine.
• Will it fit my large atlas? Yes, the 480mm width is specifically chosen to accommodate oversized school atlases and large hardcover counter books.
• Is it recyclable? Yes, this plastic film is recyclable in most municipal plastic waste streams.

Quick Stationery Hack: The "Cool-Iron" Seal

• For a truly professional, "factory-sealed" look on your schoolbooks, place a thin cotton cloth over the plastic edges once you have taped them down. Run a household iron on the lowest possible heat setting over the cloth for just a second. The heat will slightly shrink the Jiffy plastic around the corners, creating a tight, custom fit that won't slide or bunch up.
