Opaque Window Decals

[michsanford]

We are quoting a job, and need your experienced advice!

Looking to print on a white opaque film and apply mounting adhesive for interior application.

What material would you use for the film part? This client is requesting ONLY 3m materials.

Also, Would you laminate the film before applying the adhesive?

Thanks!

Are you meaning you want opaque second surface?
Reverse print on 3M 8150 or 3650 and laminate with the white block out media (can't remember the part number).

We have one sample here, from another vendor of this customer. To me, it doesn't look like it has that second layer of vinyl on it.

How opaque? Could it of been printed on something that can print white, like a Gerber or Summa?

what's the artwork look like, can it be silk screened?

Here's a pic of a portion of the existing sample...

I would say Gasouthpaw is correct - clear vinyl reverse printed with an opaque white laminated to it then die cut

How large of decals and what is on them?
Small decals: You can use a Gerber Edge and reverse print spot color layers.
Large decals: You can either reverse print on 3M clear vinyl and laminate with white vinyl with clear adhesive or reverse print CMYK on clear then print spot white over it if you have a printer with white ink.
