To create small holes for fastening, adding jump rings, string, twine or ribbon, use a hole punch on the shrink film PRIOR to shrinking in the oven as the hole will shrink in size.

Your printed image will get darker after shrinking. To maintain bright and light colors, enhance the brightness of your image to at least 20% before printing.
