Re: Custom font bumper numbers

We have ours silkscreened at a local T-Shirt company. You can't beat the quality and you can have colored numbers. We'll never go back! Here's last years' robot.

It costs us around $80 per year once the screen is done. You just do the screen once (around $40.). Some teams have been able to find a vendor who will donate the service.

Re: Custom font bumper numbers

I get all of my vinyl from coastal business supply. Siser Easy Weed is great stuff and comes in a lot of different lengths. 5 yards is enough to last you several years. 1 yard is more than enough for eight sets of numbers. We do 15" wide rolls too.

They ship super fast and have decent prices. If I order on Monday, I'll have my vinyl by Wednesday or Thursday in Michigan.

how do you get the vinyl to stick to the bumper material?

UPDATE:
never mind just followed you link and found it was heat stick.
We've got some vinyl and access to a die cut, but can't seem to get the numbers to stick to the fabric.
May have to go another way.

Excellent choice.

I use the best heat transfer vinyl for the teams who have contracted me to make bumper numbers.

My product will not come off like some of the other numbers from other companies in the previous years.

If you would to learn more, see my signature.
