NEVER
OVERLOOK THE OBVIOUS OR THINGS ARE NOT AS BIG AS YOU THINK THEY ARE:
Fine detail and/or ornate graphics might not look good at 200 DPI resolution.
Also, when you shrink the tubing, the imprinted image shrinks with it.
In other words, if you think 4 point type is small now, imagine it after
the shrinking! In addition, really good shrink tubing (which is the only
kind we use) shrinks mostly its diameter not its length. So, the imprinted
stuff on the label will end up looking a little "squashed."
If you are sending us graphics on disk, you may want to stretch the vertical
aspect (do not exceed maximum height guide) to match the amount you'll
be shrinking the tubing for your specific application. Even though 2 to
1 ratio tubing will shrink to 1/2 its original diameter and our special
3 to 1 ratio heat shrink tubing will shrink down to 1/3 of the original
diameter, the actual diameter after shrinking will depend on the diameter
of the object you are shrinking the tubing over.
MAXIMUM
HEIGHT GUIDE FOR IMPRINT.
The tubing is flattened for printing, the following are height guide dimensions
for each diameter of tubing.
All your imprinted image (including stretched graphics, text and bar codes)
must fit within the height guide dimensions. This is also known as the
"live graphic height".

 NOTE:
If you received this by fax, the actual distance between the height lines
may not be to scale due to the fact that some fax machines slightly enlarge
or reduce upon sending and some fax machines slightly enlarge or reduce
upon receipt. So we recommend double checking the measurements with a
ruler.
*ANOTHER
NOTE
In all cases when referencing a certain diameter tubing, we refer to the
inside diameter
before shrinking.
