View Full Version : Is there a resident sticker maker?
Looking to get some window/advertising stickers made up (say a quantity of 200-400) for my business.
Ideally chasing 2-3 sizes (~10cm, 20cm and 100cm), assuming printing would be the go as logo & text contain 3 colours.
If anyone is able to help that would be greatly appreciated! The huge variation in quotes i've received from walking into sticker shops is enough to do my head in!

I'll be sending them a bomb if that old German pingpingpingping doesn't start winning races. First the Massa fan club steals my money, now they do to. At this rate I'm better off doing a Jazza and supporting whoever wins each race.

Doubt it four7, just had some one off's made through pgc that came up trumps. Price was good too.
Edit: Beaten,
PS. Adz - thanks for the detail again mate, went over pits flawlessly and came up trumps. Fantastic!!
Karl, Im guessing you only use vectors / .eps for stickers.

Yup. I'll actually recreate an EPS from a JPG before I let something go out the door.
Pixellation is for beginners/hacks. Near enough is not good enough.

+1 for RS_Gav's work. I gave him a few logos in jpeg quality and he came up with this:

Also designed this for me. Simple, yet effective.

To top it all off, good bloke in general (and makes a mean pizza).

What with. Live trace...
Kudos if you actually spend the time to redraw logos in illustrator.
The amount of shitty jpegs sent to me for production is ridiculous.

Live Trace is crap. Illustrator is counter-intuituve, too.
I'll spend the time if it's simple enough. Most of the time it's only a few minutes.
We usually recognise fonts (a bunch of font experts here) and retype, and then use SignLab or EasySign for the logo part - both have excellent tracing functions. There's stuff like node reduction, snap to line, snap to curve and noise reduction as well.
If it's scanned from a business card and has halftones (as in tracing every single dot in a gradient), we just say no, or charge accordingly. It's amazing that people suddenly "find" an EPS when you tell them they'll have a bill of a few hundred dollars for artwork.
There are also a few tricks for finding vector-based PDFs if you look hard enough.
Have you used Brands of the World? Awesome site.

Sliced and diced between each individual panel (the sides aren't on the same part as the 'top') so it can be disassembled if required.
So what do you guys use to create graphics like that? Do you do it all in singlab style programs or something like corel draw?
I ended up with a plotter cutter as a result of another side project, with the happy side effect of being able to do vinyl stickers. As I only do basic colors and layering I have never looked into graphic heavy stuff, always kind of wondered how it was done.
I could definitely benefit having the ability to create better graphics now though!
I assume you use a solvent type printer for vinyl too? I'll never have a need for anything quite like that, but that gear look pretty impressive!

Found the images on the net
Edited them in PhotoShop to make their backgrounds transparent
Opened up document the size of my laptop (with overhang)
Went to town positioning the previously edited images
Had Gav print and apply the vinyl
???

Stuff is awesome, is it ok to come at you with 'clear backed-white based' A3 decal sheet quote? [make sense?]
For automotive application, artwork supplied. PDF eps? Need 5-10. :)

Are these something you are able to do on the regular Gav ?
