Sticker Materials
Mylar
Mylar material won’t change shape in heat or cold. It is very chemical and solvent-resistant and can be printed on it in any color. Mylar material is very easy to apply and can be die-cut to any shape. It has a long external and internal life, and it will not crack. You can type on mylar material with a special coating. Mylar does not stick well on rough surfaces, and it has a poor memory on curved surfaces. Brushed silver and chrome silver mylar are conductive.
Vinyl
Clear or white vinyl
material gets stronger with age. The vinyl and
adhesive combine and become one unit. It is the most
permanent material and is resistant to water. Vinyl
material also comes in removable or self-destructive
forms. Vinyl material is easy to die cut and has no
memory, so it is good for curved surfaces. Vinyl
material is not conductive. It has a long external
and internal life and can be printed on or coated
with any color. Vinyl material is very unstable in
solvents and is not dimensionally stable under heat.
The premium-grade clear or white vinyl material
provides durability and added strength.
White Vinyl: The most common outdoor material we use is this 4 mil (.004 inch) vinyl. It is also used indoors and is somewhat flexible, which enables it to conform to surfaces that are not totally flat.
Clear Vinyl: A clear, somewhat flexible material that can be used inside or outside. It is much thicker than other inside window materials and is generally used if you need a bit more durability.
Destructible Vinyl: This material is used wherever high security is the key. It is thin with a very aggressive adhesive, and once applied, it cannot be removed in one piece. It is white with adhesive on the back.
Reflective or luminescent - (Glow-in-the-Dark): This material can be used as a bumper sticker permit or laminated on a parking hang tag. It will reflect a light beam from a head lamp or flashlight to make it highly visible at night or in low-light conditions, such as a poorly lit underground parking garage.
Static Vinyl: If you're looking for custom vinyl stickers and decals that will stick to a glass surface without adhesive, this clear vinyl is the way to go. Also referred to as "cling" material, static vinyl is great for temporary permits or decals.
