Zipper Door for Shrink Wrap Choice of Size and Color

Zipper doors provide easy access to areas under a shrink wrapped object. Opening and closing zipper doors is easier than zipping up a winter jacket. There's no hassle of lining up the two halves of the zipper. The zippers on these doors are always connected, even when the door is completely unzipped. These zipper doors are made from a material that looks similar to shrink wrap, but is not meant to be shrunk or have heat applied to it.

Installation of a zipper door is very easy. You'll need a shrink film knife, and some shrink wrap tape, and depending on where you want your door, you may need a ladder.
Your shrink wrap project must complete the shrinking process before you install your zipper door(s). Once the shrink wrap film is shrunk and cooled, you can eye up where you want the door to be installed. Use a few small pieces of shrink film tape to hold the corners of your zipper door in place to get a good, smooth fit over the area where the door will be installed. After the corners of the door are taped in place, check to see that the zipper still zips and unzips easily.   If the zipper has a hard time moving in certain areas of the door opening, the door may have been secured to the shrink wrap with too much tension across the door.  When your door is in place with easy zipper movement, use shrink film tape or preservation tape to secure each of the four sides of the door to the shrink wrap. Overlap all edges of the door with tape so that no water can find its way behind the door material.  Then, unzip the door and cut out your access point in the shrink wrap under the door. The hole you cut in the shrink wrap should be either slightly smaller than the size of the zipper, or slightly larger. Cutting your access point to the same size as the zipper itself can cause the zipper to catch the edge of the film and develop a bit of a jam. After your access point has been cut out under your door, zip the door closed and check again for easy zipper movement. Finally, zip shut and admire your new zipper door!
