BOB F spoke thusly to: DICK ROEBELT
BF>Tks for your detailed answers. I kept them on file.
BF>Next good question, what do you think of reflective bumper
BF>stickers, used to advertise products or services. The kind that
BF>cops use on their cars.
   They are expensive (for bumper strips).  Most of them would be made 
from Scotchcal, or a like substance.  Then, depending on the nature of 
the imprint, special transparent inks will have to be used to keep the 
reflective qualities.
   Other substances that give a "reflective" look (which you may want 
to consider) is holographic sliver glitter and holographic silver 
mosaic.  Or, perhaps, a holographic silver rainbow.
   Then again, chrome polyester will give something a bright look to 
it also.
   When we print reflective materials we price it by the square inch 
rather than by stock sizes.
   Let's say you were to buy the largest std. bumper strip which 
measures 3 3/4" x 15" in 1000 lot quantities.  A one color print on 
stock vinyl w/removable adhesive would list at $.345.  The same using 
white reflective would list at $2.34.  Quite a difference in price.  
Not suitable for a fast selling novelty item, but fairly reasonable if 
there is a special need.  And I doubt if we could get the reflective 
material with removable adhesive that is on our std. bumper strip 
stock.  So your supplier would have the same problem.  Or it would be 
a special order (most shops purchase that stuff with permanent 
adhesive because it has to last a long time outdoors) which may even 
further increase the price.
