Title: Water transfer decals
Post by: ajf5577 on November 26, 2015, 12:23:00 am
Is anyone making or reproducing water transfer decals these days? Original style decals look so much better to me than screened vinyl stickers on a machine. I just picked up a Choice Vend 78 with instructional decals on the front bezels. The large square Pepsi decals on each side are dated 1956. The silver stripes surrounding the round sign are also decals.

Yea, there are companies that will custom make water transfer decals. Going to be spendy. Simple search on water transfer decals should get you going. Gas pump guys pefer same. Oldgas.com as a last resort.

A local sign shop can make them.  I have them made before for a reasonable cost.  If you provide the artwork even cheaper.  The trick will be finding a good quality image for them to work with.

Depending on your graphics shop, you can have them reproduced on very thin vinyl...  This puts a burden on you to carefully place the decals though as working with thin vinyl can be a little tricky!

Funtronics has a great video (linked to their site) on youtube for how to place decals. Good luck!
