Shrinkwrapping question

I have a couple unopened boxes of cards that are a little rough around the edges (1980s Topps Album stickers mostly). If I get them shrinkwrapped (either buying the stuff, or finding somewhere to do it locally) does the box come back into shape? I'm just looking for something that is a little more square at the edges rather than looking like it had been stepped on (like a lot of the album sticker boxes look like).

Thanks

Kind of like this one, but maybe not this bad: HERE

    Local Walmart/Kmart/Target has styrofoam for sale in the crafts section. It does a great job of reinforcing boxes.

    It will come back into shape fairly well, but like mrmint says, you need to have it reinforced on the inside for it to work.

    If you build an interior skeleton out of something firm (thin plex should work, as would matte board) that should make it shrink up square.
    I'd suggest doing it yourself, I've seen shrink wrap over heated and it collapses the box.
