I need to shrink wrap items that are on a 16" x 6" x 5" tray. What size system do I need.

Typically, when you can only wrap a single item at a time (unlike soap, or DVD's) you want to use as much of the WIDTH of the roll, and as little of the length...so in this case, we take the width of the item, 16, and add HALF the height, 2.5, for a total of 18.5, rounded up to the next even number, this comes to 20", then allow 2" for the seal (the 1.5" left from 20" might work, but you'll have to position the wand SO precisley, the value of the time it will take is not worth the cost of the wasted inch or so of film.So, the 24" system will work fine. If you choose to order a larger, more economical roll than a 500' roll, in the future, you could get away with a 22" roll. The film you want to use is Polyolefin. It's FDA approved for direct food contact.If your trays are thin, and could be bent (by the force of the shrinking film) easily...go for 60 gauge Poly. It's thin, easy to cut and seal, and quick to shrink. If your trays are RIGID, or you want/need more strength, for shipping or general mishandling, 75 gauge would be stronger...t takes a little more effort to cut and seal, and takes a bit longer to shrink, but your payback is measured by the extra strebgth and opuncture resistence of the film. If the tray is going inside a box, the thinnest film should suffice. If they'll be stacked...go with the thicker 75 gauge. No difference in price. If you do decide to place an order... PLEASE...indicate your selection SOMEWHERE in the order. Amazon doesn't consider our category worthy of being able to offer different film types as a part of the ordering process (like picking the color of a shirt), so, we have have to email each purchaser, and find out the film type, unless they tell us what they're wrapping. If we're not sure what's best, make a choice, and we can send samples of the other gauges/varieties of film, and if you porefer one of THOSE, over the roll you rec'd with your system...we can just swap your roll....you mail us yours, we'll send you ours. No money changes hands. If we discuss your application, and WE make a recommendation, you end up not agreeing with it, preferring one of the samples, we'll pay the freight in both directions, for exchanging the roll of film. We think that's fair.

I will be using it for soap and food for the freezer what gauge do I need

75 gauge polyolefin, FDA approved for direct food contact, will work well for your frozen foods (we have many customers using it for frozen pizza, meats etc) and will also allow the scent of your soaps to pass through the film, so your customers need not jam the bars up their nose (ewww!) to smell the fragrance, as they are typically wont to do! Just for the asking, you can have an 18", 500 foot roll included with your system.

How long is the film roll?

Each roll is 500' long, centerfolded (2-layers), like this "<"

Shrink wrap to wrap art work of 9in X 12in but to be packaged in 3 in 1?

If they're going to be stacked, it's simple, if you want to wrap them in-line, so the package is 27" wide, you can do it with ANY of the systems, but with the 30" system, assuming the items are about an inch (or less) thick, you can do it using less than a foot of film with minimal effort. - Art, National Shrinkwrap
