Could it be shredded and used as a packing material for gift baskets?

It is expensive paper and also thick, I wouldn't think it would be a good filler.

From my experience, yes. I usually just place the entire unopened envelope into shredder an shred it. Never had a problem yet. Keep in mind that you wouldn't want to place a really thick one and try to shred it. But so far I haven't found any junk mail that wouldn't shred. I think you'll be fine.

You can. We did for a while, you just have to shake it or stir pellets around to get the "sawdust" to drop through to the tray. It overflows very quickly -- would work great if the box had a deep tray to catch the used pieces. We went back to the original pretty soon after, just wasn't worth the mess.

Possibly, but for that, we prefer a hanging gift bag organizer that hangs from a closet rod. You can search for one here or see: http://www.home-storage-solutions-101.com/gift-bag-organizer.html

I think it would make the plastic brittle if used on the long term. Of course, you'd need to leave the dry ice in its brown paper. Cubed ice would work better for packaging as it fills the space vs. dry ice would take up significant space - unless you are just transporting it quickly.

After trying, I do not recommend paper that has been shredded. I found it to messy. The paper is to fine to stick together.

I see no reason why not. I've repackaged it into a plain ziploc bag, and it's fine, I think with the extra precautions, it should do very well.

They definitely should. My husband actually wrapped Christmas presents on one of them and they were heavy boxes of toys and boots, etc. I do not see any reason why it wouldn't.

Yes, I believe that it would work for that. My only concern is that it comes rolled up in a tube and it takes a while for the ends to lie flat after being unrolled. I would store it flat for several days (consider weighting the ends with books or something) so that it lies flat, and then when you aren't using it either store it flat, very loosely rolled, or possibly folded. The curling up edges will be a tripping hazard until they flatten out.

We used it for a pillowtop mattress and it was a little small. So we had to use duct tape to desk it. We just brought it back inside and took it off. In doing so the plastic ripped. I wouldn't buy with the intent to reuse.

Great thought. I tested this myself with the racks I just purchased. It does work for that purpose, however, best for only small to medium size gift bags (up to manila size envelope).

Well, I've never tried to do that, but most similar snack food bags are made of Mylar or some other sort of synthetic material, so it may be possible. I didn't notice anything in the manual advising against it.

Probably so....not sure how long it would last. Also, when I tried to break the blocks into a smaller piece to put into a baby sock, it crumbled into a fine sand like material.

I doubt it. It's a pop out design. So it's made out of either really heavy cardboard or particle board. I wouldn't use it as one personally.

Probably but won't be able to use afterwards if you actually "build" with them and use frosting to "glue" them together. The animals should be fine if not stuck too deep in frosting. They are heavy duty cardboard - just a bit thicker than cardstock paper but lighter weight that box card board. Almost like a decent gift box. Overall, if you plan to give them to kids to play with afterwards, they might not be in the best condition afterwards. FYI, Target sells them in the store if you want to check them out physically. But definitely cheaper to buy here on Amazon.

My thought is, the longer plastic is frozen the more brittle or fragile it can become. It should work for quite a spell as long as there is no abuse to the basket. You ever have food frozen in a plastic container and drop it? Therefore, if you fill your basket full, take it out and let it hit the floor with that weight, you could more than likely say good bye to the basket. Keeping that in mind, they should work just fine.

No, I use it as a wardrobe system for art supplies. The material would crack.
