  • Vinyl one can write on – is there such a thing?

    Posted by John Cooper on 11 November 2008 at 15:29

    Hi guys

    I’ve been asked to produce 1,000 printed labels that can be written on – with a pen or if that’s not possible, a type of felt pen.

    The labels are quite small at just 38mm x 12mm – they need to be able to write the date on them.

    I’m not entirely sure if this is possible with vinyl.

    I’d be wanting a product that can be used in the Gerber FX. Spoken to Spandex and they don’t have anything suitable or they’re not to interested.

    Any suggestions?

    John

    I’m with Mark. Any Matt white.

    We do a lot of service type stickers, where the engineer can write the date on them, and never had any complaints.

    If you laminate it in 3M high gloss Laminate (8518) or Oracal Clear view laminate, you can use a whiteboard marker.
