Looking for no show type of backing that doesn't shrink??

Anyone find backing that does not shrink? I'd like to find a no show and a regular 2.5 cut away that doesn't shrink. Just found out my no show, which I love, has a 1 1/2 - 2% shrinkage rate. Is that going to be a problem with dress shirts, moisture wicking, etc. ? Many of the dress shirts we do are industrial washed.

I don't know the fabric content of your shirts, but most poly/cotton blends shrink about 2-3%; it seems that the backing shrinkage shouldn't be a problem. I have a problem with it because we do large designs on fabric that will not be machine washed. We use Supersoft Tearaway to alleviate shrinkage when ironing.

Thanks Mama Kass.
