I got mine through iZoomGraphics. Always a quality part. They have various styles/fonts on their website which I've used before. This time I had them make a set custom for me since I wanted a plate rather than individual pieces.
Pics of mine are at web.me.com/darionscard

I don't know what's up with iZoomGraphics, but the guy doesn't answer his phone or return e-mails.

Don't get the magnetic sheets Michaels crafts supply because they're too thin and fly away when you turn hard (I lost 3 numbers and 2 letters at one event).
30mil thickness is what you want.

You can get 30mil, 24" wide mag material by the foot here:

If you cut mag material with a knife, you don't have to cut all the way through, maybe ½ way or less, then just bend it and it will break cleanly.

Thanks everyone for the recommendations, I ended up ordering a 2'x4' sheet from this site, only 18 bucks plus ~6 shipping.

Funny...I actually used them for a letter plate and it worked well...::shrug:: maybe because I didn't cut them out?
good to know though! I was considering using it again for some stickers I was going to put on. Might second guess that now.

The thick vinyl low tack numbers he made for Brian and now us are excellent ... best
