How'd They Do That?

I am interested in using my VC to personalize metal lunch boxes and water bottles (see sample pictures below). Does anyone have suggestions as to a durable sticker material to use?

I assume the decals would need to be laminated for water and scratch-resistance. Would something like a Big Squeegee work?

Thanks for any help!

I set my blade force to 150 and speed to 10 as you suggested, and it worked like a charm - thank you!

Glad I could help!
For application to round/shaped bottles I use a felt squeegee and go from the 'middle'
out, easier to keep it lined up and stay away from any raised 'seam' in the bottle. That leaves a line of bubbles and place for liftoff to start.
