I am looking for this exact material - can you shed some light as to what it is? It prints two sides. Looks like it is 14mil with liner- See photos below.

could be any of a large number of materials....

I guess I have never seen the blue liner - must just be a 13 mil vinyl/pvc/poly (?) that is semi rigid with adhesive on one side? Maybe the question should be does anyone know where I can purchase this or a similar product
 
I'm confused. Where is there a blue liner? Aren't both the examples in the picture finished products? :peace!:

Does it bend? Snap? Roll? Crack? It's really hard to tell what that is from those pictures.


Both pictures are of the same sign. The second picture has a transparent liner resting on top of the sign. I agree not very good pictures, but I got it. Don't know what it is but at least I could help someone distinguish the question.

now Im confused. I dont even see a sign...I see a (first image) corner of a decal, and (second image) a different decal in a micrometer
 
I got it.

Reversed printed image + flood coat + right reading image, printed on .010" clear 8010 lexan with the liner left on?

I've never seen it with a blue liner but that has to be it. The other 4mil is ink.

Do I win a :corndog:?


No but you do win a new :wavingflag: Congratulations. What are you going to do now that you won?

I apologize to all for making this confusing. You are looking at a portion of a Window Decal that goes on a front door. Trying to keep the name of my customer off of the photo for privacy reasons. The

size of the decal is 12X12
Blue Liner
It was run on a flatbed UV printer
it feels similar in rigidity similar to that of a business card or cover stock (8.5x11 sheet)
So Pat - What you said sounds good but I would need another person to confirm that you are the winner because I have no idea ..lol

OH WAIT THE MATERIAL IS NOT CLEAR IT IS WHITE

I already have a flag. :Canada 2:

Why don't us Canucks get a 3D flag waving in the wind too? :covereyes:


Thats why I said a "NEW" flag. It's improved it waves and everything. The Canadian dollar is down so we couldn't afford the waving version of the canadian flag. At least you get a gun to pump it for you, mexico gets nothing except a flag. :mexico:

What is the application? There are a few different ways on how you can reproduce it depending on how its being used.

Thank you for your interest. It is going on stainless steel - currently it is used on the entrance of the restaurant so the customer can see a message coming and going. They like the thickness of it and they want us to contour cut it and stick it to stainless steel.

If the material is white with a blue plastic "liner", my guess is thin acrylic. Extruded acrylic almost always has a plastic protective sheet which is often blue.

If it is a thin poly(?) sheet, it could be printed double-sided and then a 2-sided adhesive applied after that. The adhesive would be the part with the blue liner.
You can also print on clear vinyl and laminate it with a printed (white adhesive) vinyl.
Contour cutting seems like it might be a pain for this type of application.
