You could try someone like Michaels, but Hobby Lobby or Hobby Land carries the decal stock and you can print them yourself. If you plan on selling them you will have to get the teams permission first.

Have you ever tried making your own? Here's a great site to get the logos,Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Page - SportsLogos.Net .
Hobby Lobby carries a all-in-one decal making kit to get you started.

Hi,

I do decals all the time. They usually show up on Holly and Maple well. I use the laser printer because I can print and go, no waiting.

Printer Paper: DecalPaper.com - Decals - Waterslide decal paper or inkjet,laser printers Alps & copiers - (Clear) Whether you have an inkjet or laser. I buy the 100 sheet package. It lasts a long time.

Images - I use powerpoint to resize my images and to sort them. Then I just print.

Jim Mahan is the one who taught me and the only difference is the printer.

Hope that helps!

I made this one using the Testors kit from Hobby Lobby and an inkjet printer.
The logo is my Sons high school wrestling team and motto

Temporary tattoos are what you are looking for; crisp, clear and vibrant. Google these manufacturers on line.

Rico Industries Tattoos

Wincraft Tattoos

Fanappeal tattoos

The Rico and Fanapeel are sticking but thicker than waterslide but many will work on light and dark wood.

The Wincraft are the type you place on and wet the back side and are much thin.

You have to print your own decals with images you want and size them to fit your pen blanks
Testors either Clear or White is what you need to print on

Decal size

Can anyone share? Do you have a chart of of decal sizes used by tube size?

A decal size up to 7/8" works best for the Streamline/Trimline pens, a Slimline a little less, a Sierra can go up to 1".
