A new idea for overlays?

[guyriessen]

So I was looking at various printing companies for a project Im working on, and discovered that you can have vinyl static window clings printed.  So I contacted the printer to see if I could have say an 8x10 sheet printed on clear material and then kiss cut (the cut just goes through the cling material and not the backing material) the material into a bunch of different pieces that could be peeled off and placed on a  laminated map.  The cool part is, they'd be clear everywhere except where the artwork actually was, and they'd stick to the map whether you had plexi over the map or not...and even umping the plexi would not shift the overlays.

In order to keep it as cheap to manufacture as possible the pieces would all have to be rectangle cuts, rather than more closely following the artwork, which would mean you might need to overlap the clear portions to get the layout you need

Speak up if you think that would be something you'd be interested in.

If I sold a single sheet (which would have somewhere between 25 and 35 overlays of various sizes) at $15, back-of-the-napkin calcs tell me I'd need to be able to sell about 100 of a particular sheet.  That $15 would include shipping to anywhere.  

If there's interest, I'll mock up a sheet to post for some feedback from those that are interested, in terms of quantity of forest vs open vs town vs orchard etc.  Again just roughing out, I came up with 24 1"x1" squares, 4 2"x2" squares, 4 2"x4" rectangles, and 2 1"x4" rectangles.
