What material to use?

[Kottwitz-Graphics]

Hey guys, I have a client that is asking for some small decals to put onto their portable propane tanks. They got some from a competitor, and they are not happy that they peel right off...

Is there a material that can be digitally printed that has a very aggressive adhesive?

I was looking in the stouse catalog, and they have a Super tac adhesive decals, but they are screen printed. The only problem with that is the customer has a little "mascot" that is multi colored (something like (5) colors), and that's going to get expensive, quick.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

This may not be helpful to you but a lot of companies are using a plastic wrap sleeve that looks like a shrink wrap which is slipped over the tank. I had a customer come to me for some of those but I had no idea where to get such a thing. If anybody knows how to get those made it might be a good option.

Could be they are installing them on tanks that have old chalky paint or dirty or some residue on them.
May not be the label.

Hexis, MacTac, Oracal and General Formulations all have an aggressive adhesive vinyl that is digitally printable.

Propane tanks get really cold when the gas is being extracted quickly (they form ice on the exterior) this could also lead to some issues. I think GB2 idea may be the best answer.
