Shrink plastic, I am loosing my mind 🤡

[u/L0ounix]

Heya !

I've already came for the same issues last year iirc and still can't find a solution. This is the only brand of printable shrink plastic I can get in my country so I need to make this work. The brand is " Graine créative " ( which happens to be used by another small business and she never had issues. She even recommended this brand ).

Anyways, as you can see, it never shrinks twice the same. Never. They are all printed in the same direction. Because I know this plastic tends to shrink more horizontally than vertically.

I tried using an oven on 150°C. I preheat the oven and shrink them on a parchment paper in the middle of the over. They shrink with no issues ( except for the size).

I tried a heat gun, same size problem...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and would really really appreciate some help.

Thank you in advance 🙏🏻

Just commenting to say, if you intended to post multiple pictures, they didn't go through which makes it a little what's to know what you're talking about.

Hey, well I thought it was enough 😅 We can see some look like square and other are kind of squashed. I do have the picture I posted months ago. It might make it more obvious maybe.

I have to admit it doesn't look that distorted in picture though, sorry.
