BAMF Vinyl & Stickercal Sheets are a fun way to add a twist to your projects. With new designs monthly these are high quality, full color designs that give you endless possibilities. You can cut these with a cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette.
Stickercal Sheets


Stickercal sheets are basically sticker sheets for your tumblers! They come in either 12x6 or 12x12 sheets with a multitude of designs on the sheet you can use on tumblers (or really anywhere) to customize your tumblers with less work.
BAMF Vinyl

Opaque BAMF Vinyl will be a completely non transparent and will have a base layer of white ink under the entire sheet.

Semi-Transparent is one of my favorites. These are designed vinyl sheets that are transparent in some potions and and have a white layer base under the actual design.

Transparent is just that, completely transparent with no base layer of white ink under it at all. These are basically like 12x12 clear waterslide sheets without the hassle.
Metallic & Specialty Vinyl:Metallic Vinyl - Coming in all kinds of metallic colors, these are completely opaque metalllic vinyl with printed pattern designs on top. These will come as approximately 11/75" x 11.75" (+/- 0.25"). The metallic portion is NOT printed, this is an actual metallic vinyl with the printed image on top.Specialty Vinyl - There are several options that will eventually all become available. These are opal sheets that can come as opaque or transparent. Mystic Blue comes as a purple/pink/blue/yellow color shift and Mystic Red comes as a yellow/orange/pink/red color shift. Transparent versions will change the coloring depending on the base. Opaque versions will keep the same color shift as the base is a white adhesive.Application of Vinyl

BAMF Stickercals are not clear cast decals. Clear cast decals are completely clear and printed with a different type of machine with an ink that, at times, is not as durable. Clear cast decals are transparent and do not provide the opacity that BAMF Stickercals provide. While Clear cast decals are wonderful, they are not as universal as BAMF Stickercals since they do not have that base white ink layer to allow full color opacity of the design.
BAMF Stickercals can be applied to any color cup/base. The reason for the white layer of ink under the design is to allow you to apply the stickercal to any color base, white to black. Keep in mind, putting a black decal overtop of a black base will not work. The white ink layer preserves opacity. The clear white outline may show on non-glitter or dark colored bases, not always, but there is a chance. It will be faint and not extremely noticeable.
BAMF Stickercals require minimal to no prep to use. Before applying the stickercals to your surface, you need to ensure it is a clean, smooth and unsanded surface. If you sand prior to applying, there is a chance you will see the sanding marks even if you apply epoxy of the stickercal. Otherwise, you do not need to seal it, print it, use water to apply, have long wait times before epoxy, etc. You can apply crystalac or epoxy immediately after application.
Applying BAMF Stickercals to your tumbler/surface is easy! Again, make sure that you have a clean smooth surface before applying the stickercal, otherwise it is as easy as applying a sticker. Stickercals can be difficult to maneuver, so ensure that where you want to stick it is where it is going because pulling it up and reapplying it can be difficult. I recommend watching Jessica Flynn’s YouTube review here, as she shows you how to apply the stickercals to ensure they are even and placed accurately. You can apply stickercals with or without transfer paper, but it truly is not needed. Using your finger or a squeege, make sure all of the air bubbles are out and the decal is completely stuck to the tumbler, rubbing from the center of the decal out. Ensure there are no fold or crinkles as this may show after epoxy.
The clear outline of the decal may show depending on the style and color of the cup being placed on, but is typically blended in with the cup after a layer of epoxy is applied on top. At times, after epoxy, the clear outline may still faintly be visible, and again, this will depend on the design/color of the cup. Typically on lighter color and glitter tumblers the outline is rarely noticeable, but may show faintly on dark solids color tumblers.
BAMF Stickercals support small business designers. One of my favorite aspects, is that the designs used for these stickercals are from other small businesses. I purchase commercial licenses (if required) to be able to use the digital designs as stickercals. In all of my listings, I do my best to include the designer name, even though many do not require credit. While some may consider this as providing “business secrets” because in turn others could take the designs and sell the same/similar products, I see it as opening my customers up to talented and wonderful people whom love to create. Many digital designs are used with the intention of screen print transfers, sublimation transfers, or even on waterslides or printable vinyl, but I was so inspired by so many digital designs, that I wanted to make them easier to use on other products, like tumblers.
BAMF Stickercals have an original version and an updated 2.0 version, what’s the difference? In the listing and/or product title you will see 2.0 or original. The original stickercal was outsourced to a larger company. Because BAMF Custom Creation is in the process of printing and cutting in house, we decided to start providing products that will represent what they will be once in-house printing begins. Original Stickercals have a thin clear vinyl layer over the top which allows for it to be protected against anything, and can even be used for outdoor use. This can also include isopropyl alcohol, goof off, acetone, water, etc. Originals are a bit more thick then the 2.0 version, which can cause for a possible extra layer of epoxy to ensure smoothness. These are contour cut all the way through. The 2.0 version is thinner and does not have the layer of clear vinyl over top. The design is still made with a durable ink that can withstand chemicals and liquids for short periods of times. These decals can withstand a small amount of solvent contact, but it not recommended to soak or submerge these stickercals in any type of liquid or solvent. Both versions are created with high quality materials and can be used with both EPOXY and CRYSTALAC products. You do not need transfer paper to apply either versions, but that is up to you.
Many of the stickercals have been transferred over to 2.0 version.
