We use sign vinyl,although we dont make decals to much for cars.I think we use avery
vinyl,the ten year is thin and nice to work with.People seem to like the metallics And glitter.Theres vinyl that acts like chameleon coulurs,in that the colours shift as you change angles.

Depends on what kind of decals you're talking about. If car windows then we use Oracal and FDC 6 yr calendared. If window signs for business then we use Oracal 751 cast vinyl.

Also there has been alot of bad talk about Avery vinyl over at signforums.com so I stay away from it, since those guys over there are the sign professionals and if they have problems then I'm sure I would..

Here is a great guy to deal with, Fred. Carolina Vinyl - Sign Making Supplies - Avery Oracal Nechen GMI He ships faster then fast and in very very very knowledgable in the sign business.

I normally buy most of my stuff locally though since I can get in next day and sometimes same day. But he's the best nationally I have seen.

I use white calendared Oracal for car windows. I get mine from Graphic Solutions Group.

ditto on the avery - especially the reflective!! never again even if they paid ME.....

i've used MacTac 9800 series for the past 5 or 6 years - excellent results, good prices, NEVER a vinyl failure even under extreme weather conditions.

my distributor is mid-america laminates in the st. louis area - steve bopp is the owner and he's fast, fair and extremely knowledgeable about this industry!
