Question Laminate one half of stickers?

[Bengt Backhaus]

This is probably a stupid question...
A client of mine wants a bunch of stickers where half of it is laminated and the other half
has a loose flap of laminate.
They want to put the sticker onto whatever they need it for, write something on the lower half and then put down the rest of the laminate.

I see no possible way to do it with my equipment, and told the client so, but some of you people come up with the craziest solutions
for things like this, so i just had to ask


I have a HP Latex 310 and a roll-to-roll laminator

I would contact Stouse. They do all kinds of labels, and I just checked and they have a face-cut bumper sticker. Maybe they could do some kind of weird double-cut or half backslit kinda thing for you.

Define a bunch...

Assuming you also have a vinyl cutter, a quiet week, and an enhaced self hatred, then I can sort of picture back cutting the release on the laminator, picking up a cheap 650mm manual laminator, and charging shoptime, materials and equipment x 10++, and manually folding back backings on half of each sticker.

But I'm sure your client is not the first to have this requirement desire.

i would just laminate all of it, and then just ship precut laminate to apply after they do whatever they wanna do

We sell vehicle inspection loler stickers to a local access equipment company.

We give them the stickers unlaminated, and supply them with slightly oversize cut to shape pieces of laminate. They write on the stickers and then stick the laminate on the top.

Perhaps a similar idea could work for you in this instance?

We do it, it’s complicated but can def be done. You need clear sheeted vinyl, a split liner, and a shear or die press. Print labels then cut down to sheets, split line clear sheets, remove top half and apply over printed sheets, then cut down to size.

I print / laminate them and leave a spot for them to put a date with a Sharpie or paint pen.
I do a lot for construction companies that apply them on machinery, generators, trucks
for oil changes etc.

Keep it simple so they keep purchashing

"A bunch" is the best number the client could give me.

A 'bunch' of money would be the estimate.

Do they make a crack and peel in clear?
