Does anyone have any experience good/bad with Flexcon Static Cling Vinyl? Or can some one recomend a good static cling vinyl?

I have a client who wants removable static cling signs for his vehicles' windows. I have no experience with this material. I am proposing to reverse cut some graphics and apply them to the non-cling surface of the vinyl... I wll be using transparent vinyl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Joe have you thought of Edge prints?

You can edge print on static cling in reverse and back up with a primer

Joe,
I second the Edge print option. Vinyl overlaid on static will shrink and expand at different rates. At least it did when I tried it. [Dunno]

I'll second Bill's opinion...I have tried vinyl applied to surface of cling and the cling shrinks different that the vinyl therefore causing a wrinkle or puckering effect. Edge printing or screen printing is a better option. Edge printing for low quantities and screening for larger.

Joe,
Forgot to mention that we use the Flexcon static cling in cut sheets for our choice. Have had good results for years, no complaints.
General Formulations is another supplier. I have also used the Avery on a roll.
