FAQ
What makes PETG different from PVC shrink films?
PETG offers higher shrink ratios and greater conformity for complex container shapes, though it requires more controlled heat application.
What shrink method produces the best results?
Use boiling water, a hot air tunnel, or a steam tunnel for the most consistent shrink performance.
How long should the print cure before shrinking?
Allow at least 1 hour of cure time before applying heat.
Can this be used for proofing before shrinking?
Yes. Print flat for shrink sleeve proofing before converting into a finished sleeve.
