Stouse?

Stouse was the first supplier I thought of, but I'm not sure if they offer something like this. I just sent them an email right now though to find out for sure. Hopefully will hear back soon. Any other suggestions? I even did some google searches to find any hits on a printer who is providing them retail and nothing is coming up. The only thing that comes up is the City's and Villages that require them on your vehicle, but nothing about who actually supplies them.

You might try Gill Line too... looks like this is what you are looking for:
Gill-line | Inside Window Parking Permits

Stouse has all that, plus the sequential numbering and color/copy changes. Don't freak out at the $40 something copy change fee, it goes down per change. So something like 10 changes is closer to $10 each.

Stouse just got back to me and they don’t offer acetate material, only polyester. The acetate is very important. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like someone is trying to use a non-industry standard term. There are many acetates, and none of which are used for adhesive backed decals. It's more likely someone thought the clear poly was "plastic." Do you have any links to or samples of a final product?

The adhesive goes on the face side and applied to the interior side of the windshield. The acetate material is very thin, delicate and easy to tear making it’s tamper proof and can’t be removed and applied on a different vehicle. It gets scraped off with a razor blade then it garbage. I have one on my windshield, but not one that hasn’t already been applied to take a photo of it’s characteristics.
Gill-Line just got back to me and they don’t offer acetate either.

Oh my. You're not talking about parking permits, you're talking about like vehicle registration or inspection tags?

Correct. Each vehicle you own in your city or village must have a vehicle sticker or you will get a fine if caught without one.

In my state we get them mailed to us on Letter sheets with a removable sticker attached to it. They're designed to go through printers as a whole sheet/sticker combo. Sorry man, I have no idea whom does anything like that. Never heard the acetate used to describe a printable material either.

Not sure if all states do these, but the broke State of Illinois does whatever they can get away with as a “revenue booster”! lol

Talked with Stouse on the phone this morning and they think their material is the same or very similar to the acetate, so they're going to quote me on that. We'll see what happens! Thanks anyways for your help! I really appreciate it!

Avery has the material that I think you are looking for which may help you spec it to a wholesaler better. Its in their reflective line card. LW-0100, LW-0400 & LW-1000

Stouse is a no go... they just said they can’t digitally print and number a destructible face adhesive decal.
