A shippable bundled product including a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle. The bundle is packaged by a second package material. The second package material has a shrinkage factor relative to the bundle of less than zero and the bundle has a size of 18 in.×14 in.×8 in.

A container case including a plurality of containers wrapped in a shrink film. The shrink film includes a first open end having a first rim that defines a first opening, and a second open end located opposite the first open end, the second open end having a second rim that defines a second opening. The container case also includes a closing component coupled to the shrink film. The closing component includes at least a portion thereof configured for uncoupling from one portion of the shrink film and recoupling to another portion of the shrink film to thereby reduce an area of the first opening.

A container at least partially surrounded by a shrink sleeve, the shrink sleeve including a shrink sleeve aperture being defined by an aperture peripheral boundary having a peripheral length, where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially the same color along at least a portion of the peripheral length. Processes for making such containers. Containers where the shrink sleeve and the container are substantially different colors along the peripheral length.

A method of enclosing a surgical item identification tag in a fluorinated shrink wrap, including cutting one or more elongated pieces from a shrink wrap tube to form cut shrink wrap pieces, placing cut shrink wrap pieces into cavities in a tray, inserting an identification tag into each of the cut shrink wrap pieces, heating the cut shrink wrap pieces to cause the cut shrink wrap pieces to shrink and wrap around the identification tag, sealing an upper end and lower end of the cut shrink wrap pieces.

A direct-to-consumer heat shrunk bundled product made up of a plurality of paper product rolls each individually packaged by a first package material and arranged relative to one another so as to form a bundle, the bundle being packaged by a second package material, wherein a substantial portion of the inner surface of the second package material is in contact with the first package material of the plurality of paper product rolls and is nonstick relative to the first package material. The bundle includes fused end seals so that the bundle does not include open gussets that might otherwise catch on machinery during sorting and shipping.
