making a paper copy - you just print it to a clear plastic, or have a
print shop create the "film". Costs about $20.0 - $25.00 per film.
It's a lot more to get a printing hosue to screen only one copy, but
maybe the local art school is looking for a project?

There are lots of ways of 'laminating' For small things, I use clear
packing tape. for larger things, I use clear self stick sheets from
Staples.

Don't forget there is also the iron on transfer method.


One thing that it boils down to is the level of quality. If it is
just for yourself, you can print on paper and tape it near the
thing. If it is for a customer, the quality goes up.

If you plan on doing any quantity, considder engraving or getting a
silk screen.
