Football decals

I have someone wanting football decals, they say they are 20 mil thick, is there such a thing? what type of vinyl do you use and is it the laminte that makes it thicker not the vinyl itself. Wanttoget this order but also want to do it right

Thanks so much

Yes, it's a combination of the vinyl and the laminate.

Convex laminate comes in 20 mil as well as other, thick, but not as thick laminate..............12 mil, 8 mil, etc.

I've been selling ad specialties for over 20 years...and never heard of a 20 mil thick vinyl decal.

Are they sure they aren't talking about MAGNETS? Standard ad specialty magnets are .020 and .030 thick...sounds more like what they mean. Several good suppliers for those in quantity...

No they are helmet decals
Lots of places online sell them that thick
I'm watching a banner print right now or I could find you some examples
I think Dalco is one for sure.......then also a lot of places that do decals specifically geared towards sports helmets, ie. Football, baseball, etc

Here you go Roland, this is the stuff I use

Actually that link is for the 20 mil stuff.........I only have a sample of that one, I use 12 mil for helmets usually.

Still nice and thick

so you cannot use the regular vinyl that imprintables sells with the air release, you need to get the vinyl from them to match the laminate??

Thanks so much for your help

Well, I don't know if I would publically recommend mixing vinyl and laminates.............but to tell you the truth..................... I do it all the time.

I'd need to stock way too much different stuff if I used the manufacturers recommendations all the time.

Some exeptions........like the laminate I use for perforated is the laminate suggested for the media.
