Wall Stickers
I have been asked to make up some wall stickers for a ‘large’ client to use on an emulsioned wall. However I seem to be running into a problem, I have searched the boards, no relevant material listed. I have spoken to a number of suppliers and it seems that the recommended product would be a short term monomeric matt vinyl, however the adhesive is acrylic based. I have tested some of this in the office and it does leave a residue after a few days once it has been removed, although it leaves the paint in place.
Any help greatly appreciated, the client wants the surface to be clear once the vinyl has been removed. We cannot wipe clean as the paint will come off the walls.

P.s Anything other than Oracal products please.

Could you be a bit more specific? Are the stickers to be printed, are they to be cut and shaped like text or square cut like posters?

Hi Colin, it is a large mural, cut from vinyl and applied, not printed; I could have used a re-useable substrate but that is too thick, does that make sense?

This is trickier as all the short term removable exhibition grades will leave a residue over time.
The only adhesive I have used that doesn’t leave any residue is Neschen’s Gudy range of double sided mounting films. You an apply this to any plain or printed substrate but not contour cut it. Having said that, Drytac do a similar product and Allprint have a banner material with adhesve back which has simlar properties.
If you cannot print the substrate maybe you can apply a "panel" of say 200mic semi-rigid pvc using this adhesive and apply your vinyl over?

Thanks Colin, I think I will go with print and use the re-useable vinyl at least I know that will be fine. He can be an awkward b****r at the best of times and the last thing we need to do is repaint the whole room after removal. I think I would rather pass the job onto someone else if he is not happy with the printed samples.
