Vinyl on rubber mud flaps

[bradsc1954]

I have a customer that recently purchased a dump truck. Other than the doors, he would like his company name on the mud flaps. I told him I was not sure about and would hunt around. Any suggestions?

Thanks
Brad

I would like to know the answer to this as well if you ever find it.
We've put vinyl on the cheap plastic mudflaps but it did not stay.
We were going to order a bunch of them with our company logo (hot stamped or printed) but the information was a bit overwhelming so I shelved the idea. There's different ways to do it and even more types and sizes of mudflaps. I wanted a decent product so that the customers wouldn't take them off and trash them right away.

I wonder if ModelMark could be used for this application. Haven't researched it enough to see if it is only used with thermal printing

I have never heard of Model Mark. Could you tell us what it is?

Does anyone know of a good vendor to order custom mudflaps? If I could find the material, I'm sure I could print on flatbed but that's just for the crappy generic ones. Some people want the nicer styles.

Try Ritrama vinyl with 99X (X99) adhesive. We found great success when needing something for low surface energy substrates such as portalets. The adhesive is extremely aggressive and just might work

For a one off If the design is simple enough you could use a paint mask & Krylon

May try Arlon DPF 8000. I can't hardly find a surface that stuff won't stick to.

Hi Brad
if you make your own mudflaps from HDPE sheet around 4-6mm ( 5/32 to 1/4 inch ) you will have quite a robust mudflap that avery 4000 will stick to quite well. We use this sheet for the gates on brick trucks.

If you make your own from flat stock I would consider screen printing them en masse.

ModelMark for Hard Surfaces - Specialty - Media

Looks like it might be Thermal only. But you may want to look into it further.

+1 arlon dpf8000. sticks great. however, i would recommend limiting the complexity of your cutcontour. a rectangle will usually last a lot longer than individually-cut letters, considering the wear/tear those mudflaps go through.

if a simple one color logo, screen printing would also be legit....or a stencil & spraycan.
