Does anyone know what this is called or who carries it? I'm supposed to do some dirt bike stickers and the customer asked about it.

Are you printing it? If so, General Formulations has wrap material and a 12mil laminate for dirt bike applications.

 

[Ripcord]

Thanks. I forgot to mention this is for cutting only, no printing. I need it in black and in white.

You can always grab some cast Oracal 751 then laminate it with the thick 12mil laminate, cut, weed, mask, and ship.

If all else fails, I can print & laminate it if you are in a pinch on the GF material...

 

[Ripcord]

Thanks, I didn't think of a laminate. I'm going to check into that!

Just be sure to use cast laminate over cast vinyl.

Convex is the material they are most likely referring to.

We use a fair amount of it for ATV's.
It is very thick compared to your typical vinyl.
Some cheap plotters will have a real hard time cutting it.

Can someone upload the process how to laminate vinyl decals?
Or a youtube video
Thanks

Thanks a lot but I have a newbie question!
If I want to laminate oracal 651 little decals (10x10cm) what I suppose to do?
What is exactly laminate?(The membrane or laminate called only the method to protect your decals?)
and also where I can find this laminate (mebrane)for oracal 651?
Last for little decals 10x10 cm do I need a machine to laminate oracal 651 or I can do it with a squeeze?
Thanks

Oracal Oraguard 210 is a calendared laminate that will work for what your asking...but why do you want to laminate them...laminate is not needed on standard sign vinyl (651,751, etc) it is used to extend the life of the inks printed on adhesive vinyl on a printer like a versacamm or the like. They do make clear 651 that you could use, it doesn't offer UV protection, its just clear adhesive vinyl.

If you want to protect it from scratches and that type of think then you may want to look at the convex laminate as they will take some abuse.

 

[Twisted Grafix]

^^^Exactly ^^^

Regular sign vinyl doesn't need lamination. The only reason it was brought up in this thread is to add protection to the graphics for the dirt bike application.

Sorry i forgot to answer this question...

Yes, you can do it by hand. Look into "the big squeegee" if your going to be doing a lot of it. They also have some nice size squeegees to speed up installs.

we used to laminate decals for off road vehicles with laminate that was meant for floor decals

651 is great for shorter term graphics on flat surfaces, 751 would be a much better choice with a longer life span and much better conformability.
