ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for wrapping a plastic bag about a piece of luggage to leave the handle grip exposed. A heat shrinkable plastic bag is used with the luggage being loosely enclosed and the edge of an open top of the bag being folded over the top surface of the luggage around the sides of the grip to leave the grip exposed. The bag may be dispensed from a roll and may be in the form of a flat bag having an open top or in the form of a flat tube having an open top and bottom. A hot air gun is employed to seal the folded over edges and the loosely enclosing bag to a tight seal around the luggage. A pressure sensitive tape may be employed to tack together the folded over edges. Measurements are taken along the length, width and height of the luggage to provide a formula for the size of the plastic bag to be employed. The shrink wrapped luggage is used to prevent theft and provide visual signs of breaking into and also to provide protection against marring or scuffing.
