im going to try making some decals and see how that goes, my cutter is idle right now so i figure i might as well put it to use and make some decals. were do you get the tinted glass or plexy to create a display. do you make it yourself of buy it like that.
I just had to do a display last week for my booth. I sell a large variety of items so I got a "bin" that is 8.5 x 8.5. my widest decal is 8". I used black matboard as dividers between each design and I put the decal on the black to show clearly how it will look on glass. At the top I put the name of the decal and its price. Now customers can flip through the display looking at all the designs and then reach in behind to get the one(s) they want. I took pictures of what the vinyl looks like on the mat board, but they are at home now, I will post a few tonight. One could also buy smoked plex in a large sheet and put a bunch of decals on it. I am thinking of doing that for next year and it can lean, or hang up below the decal box.

Thats sounds like a good idea but i think i would like to displyay them on plexi with the prices then if they want something i could get it for them, not sure were everett is but were im at i thinkpeople might tend to let a couple slip out of the box into their pocket when im turned around. how much does a sheet of plexi cost and were can i get it
You might want to find a local sign supplier, they may have some extra plex/acrylic sitting around. Generally acrylic comes in sheets ranging from 4'x8', 2'x4', 2'x2' and 1'x2'.
I personally have ordered some supplies from Johnson Plastic and haven't had any issues, but I haven't ordered any acrylic yet (mostly sublimation and some nameplates).
Manny, the folks at my events are dressed up in English breeches or are wearing skin tight western show clothes and I would be very put out if they didn't have the money to pay for a $5 decal if they can afford to show a horse. I sell many smaller items that sit out all weekend and so far I have not had anything palmed.../knock on wood. Who knows with the current economy Regardless, I still like the idea of smoked plexi with all decals attached, I think it would look nice. I would even want to frame the plexi with a nice wood (it would also keep the edges protected in transport). One thing to watch for if you are mobile is that plexi scratches easily.

I sell One color cut decals for car windows.
These are cut in white Oracal 651.
For a display I use 3 foot by 10 foot Black banners the white decals shows up great on this.
I have a neon color number near each decal and a file system using envelopes and milk crates.
Cheap,Simple, and lightweight set up.

The banner idea is what I would suggest but you literally cant put everything you can make on display. Its better to have some examples with a banner saying what you offer. I love decal bins and folks rummaging through them to find what they like. It keeps folks around your booth and open for conversation. 8" decals one for 5 three for 10 is what we do and those bins usually pay for the event and open the door for custom graphics.
Thinking of combining a display (banner or plexi) with the bin idea........

The plexi glass that I have found has been at the local lumber store (Lowe's, Home Depot etc.) There you can have them cut it for you. My kids kept breaking my glass for the light table/exposure unit so I went plexi for this and 4 years later still working like a champ.
