Review: So glad I did because it worked fine - Honestly, reading all the reviews on here about this product and also the unsanded version made my head spin, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. So glad I did because it worked fine! I have to make 100 little charms for a church camp so I really wanted to be able to avoid doing them all by hand. After doing a couple of tests for size I took my master sheet to my local office store and they color copied it onto the sanded side for me, just like an overhead transparency. It looked pretty light and I was worried about the vibrancy of the finished product (I had done my original test ones with Sharpies and they were great). The guy did stick his finger print into the middle of one of them which smudged ever so slightly, but I doubt anyone else would have noticed it especially once it was baked. I came home, cut them out and baked one. I had a piece of baking parchment on the top and bottom as per the instructions. It did stick and took off a little of the ink--again, I'm probably the only one who can see it. I didn't put the parchment on top of the second test one and it was fine. The color of the shrunk end product is great and I needn't have worried about how light the original printing was. The cooled printing seems pretty durable when scratched with my fingernail. If I really wanted to fuss with them, I'd probably spray clear on the printed side and white on the shiny so that they'd really pop, but since it's probably something that the kids are going to loose within a month I'm not going to bother. Unbaked, they're about 2 square inches and they shrunk 50%. I baked them at 300*F. My first test pieces were baked individually and they took 3 minutes. When I baked 10 together I used a bigger, heavier baking sheet and they took about 4 1/2 minutes before they were finished. I may raise the temp to 325 for my next batch. I had very little warping. I don't know if I'd want to attempt this on my own printer, but I was VERY pleased with the results I got having them done at the office store. It's worth the 75c a sheet to have it done on the big machine. I would highly recommend this product and this method to anyone. Review: So much fun! - This was so much fun! We used it for two different age groups (7-11 and 12-18). Both groups loved making these! We did buy tassel keychains to put on them if the kids wanted. We cut the pages into 6ths. That seemed to be about the right size for putting on a keychain. You can also put these through your printer. I needed to have a small stack of them in my printer tray as it would pull them through funny if I didn't. One page got stuck but I was able to get it out after it melted in half :O I only printed about 15 pages with lines and left the rest blank for freeform design and writing. Any holes you make in them will shrink, so we used a half inch sized hole punch, a little smaller would be ok but I just used what I had. I would definitely do a bit of testing as lots of different things affect the shrinking process. Don't panic when they start to curl up, I ruined my first ones by opening the oven door and trying to fix them. We did have a few get stuck but we were able to mostly uncurl them before they cooled to much, and there was plenty for the kids to just make another. Toaster ovens work too but take a while if you are doing more than one or two. Microwaves do not work. We also learned to only put one tray in at a time to shrink.

Also are there any tricks for consistent shrinking?** A: you can get inkjet shrink sheets that are intended for this purpose. You could also pre shrink the blank plastic and place a small sticker that you print on it and seal it. **Q: I’m having trouble with getting mine to flatten. after i cook them they curl up and i can’t get them to flatten. what am i doing wrong?** A: A few tips from my experience! 1. Try not to make anything too large as the have a higher tenancy to curl in on themselves then. Try to stick to things smaller than half a sheet. 2. If you have an oven light, watch your shrink cutouts while they are heating up. 3. before taking them out of the oven, make sure to watch and wait for them to be shrunk and flat. They do flatten out a bit more after they finish shrinking. Sometimes all they need is just an extra 30 seconds or minute. I've heard using a heat gun also does a good job of preventing curling, but I have not tried that myself. **Q: After shrinking does the plastic retain a translucent/glassy quality or does it go white / opaque?** A: It is not translucent/glassy. But it is also not completely opaque. It retains the same sanded scratchy quality that it has before shrinking. You can see through it...but not clearly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So glad I did because it worked fine *by M***N on June 10, 2017* Honestly, reading all the reviews on here about this product and also the unsanded version made my head spin, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.

Enjoy!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fabulous for art projects with the kids *by T***A on July 16, 2014* I priced the Shrinky-Dink brand shrink film and realized it would be too expensive for my large group of kids so I started looking for alternatives. This film by Grafix is perfect and priced very well. This particular film is clear so the resulting shrinky designs look a lot like stained glass. Grafix also offers white film and even film that can be run through your ink jet printer! If you've never used shrinkable film, here's a little tutorial. You'll need shrinkable film, permanent markers or colored pencils, scissors, some parchment paper and something to bake in. I use a cheap toaster oven that I reserve for this and for baking Sculpy clay. Optional supplies are some fine grit sandpaper for lightly sanding the film when using colored pencils, a hole punch, some jump rings and needle nose pliers, key rings and some adhesive-backed magnets. I cut each sheet of film into quarters because a quarter sheet is a good size for shrinking. Larger sheets sometimes shrink strangely and curl in odd ways. Have the child draw a design onto the quarter sheet film, trying to fill the film as much as possible because it will shrink by 50%. If their design is too small, it will be miniscule after baking! If you wish to turn your shrinky designs into charms, keychains or necklaces, you'll need to punch a hole with a hole punch somewhere in the design before baking. If you want to make refrigerator magnets, no hole is necessary. Then cut around the design as desired. Turn your oven on to 350 degrees and let it heat up. A toaster oven works brilliantly for this because it heats very quickly and has a glass door for watching the magic happen. Place the design on a piece of parchment paper and lay on a metal baking tray and place in the oven. Watch closely because the baking process is short! You will notice that the design begins to shrink and curl up. Don't worry. As the shrinking completes, the design will uncurl and become flat again. When it has pretty much flattened out, remove it from the oven. I use tongs and gloves for this because the plastic is very, very hot. Place it on a heat proof surface and slam a heavy book on top of it to make it completely flat. (Kids LOVE this part.) Ta da! You've made a shrinky dink! Sometimes with larger designs or ones with a lot of long thin sections, it will curl a lot and perhaps stick to itself. I have a chopstick I keep next to the toaster oven for intervening when this happens. You will see that the film ends up being much thicker after shrinking so it is no longer flexible. You can seal your design with clear nail polish or a spray sealant, if desired. Magic marker designs can chip a little if not sealed. Colored pencils seem to make the most durable designs, but you need to lightly sand your film before drawing the design. Sanding creates a tooth for the colored pencil lead to catch on. Sand lightly in both directions in a hatch-type fashion. Hint: Buy some metallic Sharpie markers even if you plan to use colored pencils. They add sparkle to every design and the kids seem to adore using them. They come in gold, silver and bronze. Any kid old enough to draw will love making shrinky designs. Kids 11 or 12 or older can even do the baking themselves with supervision. If you're looking for a fun art project to do with kids, I promise you they will be thrilled with this one. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/26068689-grafix-shrink-film-sanded-translucent-8-5-x-11-in](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/26068689-grafix-shrink-film-sanded-translucent-8-5-x-11-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-09-09*
