Custom Locker Decals

With 3M™ Craft Vinyl to create monograms, numbers, and custom decals. Children are always drawn to visuals, and teens enjoy distinguishing themselves to stand out amongst their peers. Decorating their school lockers is a great way for them to express themselves. And to abide by school rules, utilizing vinyl stickers is a great, non-permanent way for your child to customize their locker so it can be removed during the school year-end.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating a unique design. Especially among older kids. They may be on a sports team, a cheerleader, or a band member, and want to rep their club. If your child does have that school spirit then they'll want to decorate their locker. Their peers will be envious of their detailed and unique school locker sticker.

Their locker won't incur any damages, simply peel it off and there won't be any sticky residue either. However, some kids don't care to promote their school or anything like that. They want to show off their hobbies or custom signatures. And vinyl will grant them that.

Binder Label Decals

When it comes to the customizing of your kid's binder, you always want to go for the best option, however, there are times where you want a cost effective method. Or you may want to do it yourself. Especially if you're not well-versed in creating decals or a beginner. With 3M™ vinyl film, it is the most cost effective method for getting professional level results without having to pay to have them made for you. Since your kid will be spending a ton of time with their binder as they travel from class to class, it's better off having it look unique for them to show off to their classmates.

Lunch Box Decals

Lunch time is a great time for your kid to socialize. And having a stylish lunch box will make a great talking point. Our 3M™ film features air-release channels. The channels are vital for professional looking decal results. Air release channels are extremely small channels located at the back of the film, inside the adhesive. These channels let air flow through the vinyl when it is installed, eliminating  any form of bubbling.

Now you may wonder how these air bubbles are formed. These air bubbles show up when one applies a graphic or wrap to a surface, such as when you're applying a screen protector to your phone. You use one hand to hold the film and use your other hand to smooth down the vinyl using a squeegee or card. During this process, an air pocket has a chance at forming under the surface of the vinyl. Cheaper stickers that utilize non air-release vinyl, usually results in a few bubbles that bake in the sun within a couple of weeks. This effect is caused by thick nature of the material along with the conditions of the application.

Our 3M™ Vinyl with Air-Release removes all of these issues. This is critical to getting professional looking results decals that are seamless. When you apply this wrap onto your lunch box, you'll see as you apply and squeegee, the air bubbles will disappear like magic, it's very cool and satisfying to see. You'll have a smooth, uniform decal thanks to this.

Custom Clipboards

3M™ vinyl provides heavy duty protection and increased abrasion resistance when properly installed. It has an aggressive rubber adhesive bonds that will hold to a variety of surfaces for long-term use, including for outside applications. The conformable backing makes will cling to a surface completely uniform, and yet can be easily removed and readjusted without losing its adhesion strength. It's definitely impressive to behold, like magic. This makes it perfect for clipboards. The clip part would eventually cut stickers. However, with 3M vinyl, it can be stretched to extremes without discoloring or tearing, so you can confidently apply and conform it to your clipboard surfaces without needed to lift and retract the film. With all that said, quit waiting and get yours today!
