I have a client that wants us to print up decals with a very agressive hard to remove adhesive. He wants to apply them to windshields and have them bond quickly and tightly. The motive is to teach couriers not to park right in front of the main entrance of a building.
Does anyone have a source for material with a agressive adhesive? We will likely screen print on it. Would be great if the source is in Sourthern Ontario but willing to spend dollars elsewhere!
Thanks

Hi Chuck. I'd recommend the flourescent stock used for printing bumper stickers. Most graphic Paper Suppliers would carry this item, and if you need smaller quantities, you can get it from NazDar Graphics. ( Ever try to remove a bumper sticker?)

Ken's right about the flourescent stock, it shreds when you try to remove it. But on a windshield, a razor blade will take it right off. If cost is not too tight, use a reflective. They're not easy to take off of anything!

Gerber carries a tamper evident stock designed for edge printing. I would imagine you could screen print as well, but I agree about the reflective bond being pretty tough.

While I can truly appreciate the customer's sentiment about discouteous parkers... I know I sure would be angry to find one of those stickers stuck to my window.
It will either solve the problem or it may cause retribution... the after hours kind. But hey... that's his gig.
The bumper sticker material would inexpensive and effective. Works for me.
Have a great one!

Thanks for all the ideas guys. I am gong to chse down the tamper proof label stock. I suspect that will bond tight the quickest.
Bruce, you need to know a little bit about the clients problem. He is the developer and property manger for about 10 high quality office buildings. They always go the extra 5% and make their buildings the most desireable address around. On site fitness centres, cafes, pre-wired for high speed communications are the type of builidings he provides. Image is everything for a lot of his tenants. In some of his buildings he has incorporated a seperate special entrance for couriers (with reserved parking spaces right at the door). However some couriers seem to prefer to park their oil leeking trucks right at the front entrance and drip oil on the cobble stone drive. A hard to remove no parking decal on the windshield seems to be the only way to get the point across that their trucks are not welcome when they block the main entrance. He wants the decal to still be on the windshield when the driver gets back to the depot...so his boss will see it!
