    Shrink Plastic and other 'specialist' papers

    A total long shot but does anyone know of specific shops or online places to buy any of the following...

    1) Shrink Plastic / Polyshrink / Shrinkles which is a thin bendy sheet of plastic that you can draw on and then heat up to shrink/strengthen. Usually in different colours and roughly A4 sized.

    2) Inkjet temporary tattoo paper transfers.

    3) Recycled and/or biodegradable card, envelopes, cellophane bags.

    4) A4 white blank sticker paper for inkjet printers.

    I've not seen anything in the art shops bar 3) which I wasn't sure if it was made from recycled pulp or not and I don't know what recycled is in Cantonese! Anyone know this?

    items 2 and 4 are found at a lot of good stationary stores. Try the one on stanley St (accross from the small burger place). They pack almost everything in there.

    I don't suppose you know how to ask for them in chinese do you?

    I know what card, paper is but not recycled/eco etc

    And Stickers, could I say 'lim chee' ??

    And I think Tattoo is 'mun sun' ? but what is temporary? I guess I could ask for Mun Sun Chee - tattoo paper and hope they don't think I'm crazy!
