Default Removable DE Numbers

Anyone find a good way for putting nice numbers on the car for a DE that can be removed.

Thanks, Curt

All I could find is the dial in numbers. I wanted something larger and in red.
I wonder about stick on shelf vinyl, I could cut out my own numbers with a pattern.

Thanks, Curt

We make our own numbers. Never thought about selling them though.

PM me and lets see if we can work something out.

I make them in static cling and can do them in pretty much any font style. Shoot me an email for details. jster17@bellsouth.net

OK, here is the perfect answer.

Avery Label Sticker Project Paper 8 1/2 X 11 Stock Number 3383

Use Microsoft Word's Word Art numbers then size it to fit, increase the line thickness, and add a fill color if you like. They go on easy, don't come off at speed, will work in the rain, and come off without any residue or work. I made a whole set to take with me for HPDEs that don't assign numbers before you get there.

I opened MS Word and couldn't find word art, is that on the office disc?

Also, the only contact paper Walmart had, had flowers on it. Hard to find what you need in this part of TN.

Drag and drop a few times till you get an 8" or so number that will fit within the print range.
