Not every job is about squeezing out as much profit as possible in the most efficient way...
I would close up shop immediately if I wasn't allowed to actually be creative and tinker with crap. That's why I got into this business, not to get rich.

They are in our top 5 customers and frankly top 3 favorite customers. I am not looking to make anything on it, just looking to stay in front of the other suppliers that are banging on their doors weekly.
I'm doing OK on the 2 other orders they have in house right now.
Also, it's a challenge...and sometimes I like something out of my wheelhouse.

I have little or no desire to be creative so I do not veer out of my niches (magnets & stadium cups are over 80% of my sales these days) very often....But great for those who want to.....

thin styrene, like .020, run it through the plotter on multi pass, 3 or 4 cuts should do it...same blade you use for that cad cut heat press vinyl crap...45 degree I think
spray glue on the back and stick it to the substrate, spray it..peel off slowly.
OR...loose(ish) mesh screen on a screen, coat and expose as usual. spray glue the back of that and have a go. mesh must be loose or it won't stick..so this is where a wood frame gets used... ;D

If you are doing a good job of what you are currently selling them, IMO there is little chance saying no to a "specialty item" will get you in trouble.....This is based on my many years in business....And while my local business is not much these days, I have little fear of sending an inquiry to a local competitor....I know my strengths.....Good luck....
