HOT PRESSING

Plastic carry bag sides are too thin, it's difficult to convert as flowers.it's easy if the Two sides are on a single sheet.
To do this hot pressing is done by using the iron box.
Place the carry bag in between 2 A4 sheets and do the hot pressing, this avoids melting of carry bags due to heat.
Use normal heat(cotton) to do the hot pressing.

MARK AND CUT - REMOVE UNSHAPED SIDES OF CARRY BAGS
