ericmschwanke 23 Posted August 5, 2017 I have always liked MacBook decals but does anyone know a material or process to do like a "skin" that has a colored image on the top of the mac? I have used printable vinyl before but they are not that great of quality and wouldn't hold up the wear and tear of being on a laptop. Looking for suggestions!

Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted August 5, 2017 solvent or latex printed wrap material like used on cars and laminated because of the handling. most laptops have curves on the edges and a cast wrap material lets it contour to those. printer $8500+ Laminator $1000 + expensive wrap material and laminate to make $30 decal . . . . in a very saturated market 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
