Used to cut my own drywall shims from scrap, now I just buy the plastic ones

I was on a job in Austin last year and my boss handed me a bag of these thin plastic wedges instead of my usual scrap strips. It cut my shimming time for a door frame in half because they slide in so easy and don't compress. Anyone have a favorite brand for these things, or do you still cut your own?

Plastic ones warp in the heat though.

My cousin in Tucson lost an entire set of plastic garden chairs last summer, they just folded in on themselves like wet cardboard. I can't imagine a whole box melting in a truck bed, that's a whole new level of heat damage.

My buddy in Phoenix had a whole box of those melt in his truck bed.
