Where do you get printed lexan?

I have seen plenty of teams that have their numbers/logo/name/sponsors PRINTED or STICKERED onto lexan. Is there some sort of service that you can order it from? Is it as simple as ordering stickers and slappin em on? Please explain

Most sign companies can probably do this.

Re: Where do you get printed lexan?

In 2006, 971 bought some special plastic that you can stick in a laserjet printer. We found it at an office supply store, it was clear and had a sticky backing. I would highly recommend this if you're looking for a cheap, easy way to make good looking stickers for lexan.

Re: Where do you get printed lexan?

We tried to have a local graphics company print on our side panels, but they were too thin to get adequate suction through their printer. They ended up printing on large vinyl stickers and placing them on our panels. (To me) they still look fantastic.

Re: Where do you get printed lexan?

In the past we would simply print out logos and numbers with a normal printer and get them laminated at Kinkos and attach it. This year we have it printed on vinyl like you would for window clings on cars.
