How bad weeding is varies tremendously based on how large your design is and how detailed it is. If you're doing a few 1-2" block numbers for batteries and some relatively large sponsor logos, it really isn't going to be that bad.



This stuff (Oracal 651) is what we get for general use. That supplier is pretty good, but I'd recommend shopping around a bit, because depending on what you're getting shipping can be a factor.
I agree, weeding I'd dependent on design. When I heard battery label I thought of our conventions where we keep information about the battery performance on the battery from year to year. If it's just numbers then no problem at all.

Our brand of choice is FDC cast calendered vinyl. For temporary stuff we use wall decal and step up to 3, 5, or 9 year for our permanent or outdoor graphics. One thing I forgot is that transfer tape almost seems more imprant than the vinyl. A good transfer tape can make a job feel easy when a bad tape can ruin your week. Find a medium to high tack clear tape for best results with most vinyls.
