The existence of a crumpled phase for self-avoiding elastic surfaces waspostulated more than three decades ago using simple Flory-like scalingarguments. Despite much effort, its stability in a microscopic environment hasbeen the subject of much debate. In this Letter we show how a crumpled phasedevelops reliably and consistently upon subjecting a thin spherical shell toactive fluctuations. We find a master curve describing how the relative volumeof a shell changes with the strength of the active forces, that applies forevery shell independent of size and elastic constants. Furthermore, we extracta general expression for the onset active force beyond which a shell begins tocrumple. Finally, we calculate how the size exponent varies along the crumplingcurve.
