Basketball Printing

I had a request to put some lettering on a basketball and was looking in the forum for discussions regarding this. I did find a great discussion a couple years ago but wondered if anyone had tried this and what options are out there.

Thanks!

The best way is to pad print. there are 3 materials b-balls are made of rubber, synthetic leather, and leather. It is difficult to get any type of vinyl to stick to rubber balls with pebbles. Your best bet is to use a high tack vinyl on a synthetic leather ball and use a lot of heat after install of decal to compress into the pebbles. It is more for short term decoration. Depending on the size order you can have them out sourced. I have contacts for camp basketballs with logos but there is a 4-6 week lead time. All in all, it is not really a vinyl application other than do decoration use. We did 500 rubber balls for a radio station giveaway. I'll try to find pictures
