Gary,

That looks smart and you must be well 'ard to lug one of those things round on your back.

I'm ex-army - RWVBC (Royal Woman's Voluntary Balloon Corps) (before anyone starts) and I would find it difficult to lug round all day.

I put mine on a sack truck.

Anyway, how did you do the art work?  I'm a bit of an 'artist' myself.

Will it last?

My back pack looks like it's been through a couple of wars; scrapes everywhere.

Gary,

Thanks for the info.  I was thinking of doing the same with mine.  The local firm I get my uniform from said they could do it.  Might still look into it though as when my trailer is all painted up I would like it doing as well.

cleantech told me after they had fallen off that the only way to get something to stick to the backpacks is to use something called MEK this is a very powerful thinners which softens the plastic ,then while the plastic is soft you put the stickers on otherwise the plastic is made to repel paint and stickers.
phone mick at cleantech for more info

Sorry to hear about your stickers falling off.

I could have told you that would have happened because mine came off my 25L containers :'(

I sorted that one out. I got the sign shop to print an A4 size sticker out for me. (The ones where you peel the back off then stick on)

But before I peeled the backing off I scanned it in to my lap top and printed 10 of them out. (one for each container)

Then I put it through the laminator and put 3m double sided tape on the back and there you have it!

Looks good ;)
