Need Help Getting Stickers to Stick

[RiXaX]

I have a customer having trouble getting stickers to stick to these new fiberglass/plastic portable toilet doors. I told him "Sure, I'll show you how." I washed one with Dawn and water, rinsed it and dried it. Wiped it with alcohol. Pulled out a torch and flamed it. Put a sticker on and it felt good. Next day, corners are lifting and it's easy to peel. The stickers are supposed to stick, only I'm stuck.

Low surface energy plastic. You'll need a high tack adhesive vinyl to make it stick for longer than regular vinyl.

SignMeUp hit it on the head. Plastic throws off energy and can reject adhesive.
You need a high tack adhesive made for plastics.
Lesson learned.

Usually flaming them will do the trick, but we use a vinyl made for these plastics.

Arlon 8000 or similar material will stick without flaming it. Find a material for low energy plastics.

Not all plastics just polyolefins

Substance Icon 440LSE is another option.
