I ordered material for the Bumper Stickers. The material itself is white. I was planning on doing a reversed out black print run with a red 4wd print run(thinking since almost every tercel bumper is black). I could also just print them in black and red text so the background would be white still. (A little more visible maybe?) Maybe both. I should be able to print around 500 or so.

I'm still in limbo as for the Die-Cuts. The clear and white vinyl is in stock so it's really just finalizing the sizes and Artwork. I should have some samples anytime now for people to look at.

Another thing I wonder is how many tercels have the darkened upper windshield section. It only seems to come on replacement windshields.

So Post your Opinions on the sizes for the Die-Cuts.
There's nothing worse than getting it done and it's too small or too big.

I just want 3, all inside window stickers. One for each side of the inside back windows, and one for the back window.

I went and did some measuring this afternoon. I was thinking for the side-rear portal windows, a 5 cm high x 20 cm long sticker running along the bottom of it. For the rear window, I was thinking of a 10 cm high x 75 cm long sticker running along the top of the window. (Bwahahahaha... metric). These are just some ideas as I am not sure of the typical dimensions of the sticker material or how to preserve aspect ratios :) .

Also what is a "die cut" sticker anyways? Are they those stickers that are just the sticker material? ie flames on the sides of a car?

Hey Synth, you said that you had some samples ready... Some stickers with artwork?

Thanks for the input on size. I'm a metric guy myself.
Die cuts are simply just a single color piece of vinyl cut out with a plotter. ie flames? No I think the most common die cut I see around is Calvin pissing on a ford logo or something or other on the back of pickup trucks.
As for size of materials, I think DeCalCo has a 96" plotter at their shop. If you've ever seen a car or truck covered in digital print, these are the guys who do it. Size isn't an issue although our work will most likely be done on a 36" or 48" plotter.

No samples yet. I have to give them finalized reversed art work for the inner stickers which everyone is opting for. They did one to file scale in black in the outer facing standard artwork but I have not had time to pick it up. Maybe Friday or Monday.

I made a screen today for T-shirts. I've got the squared logo and the regular logo ready to go. There's so many options on what and where to put it. I've got some Purple spaghetti strap T's in stock. That's about it. Any call for girly Tee's? Get your GF's to wear em? I can print the logo in pink.
I ordered a few Meds, Larges and Xls in black tees. They'll be in next week some time.

I'm gonna play with that art or if anybody wants to sent me some black and white art, I could possibly do that also.

I'm making the film on Monday for our bumper stickers and few other people's stickers.

Hopefully next week I'll have some fun stuff to show you guys.

I've had no time at work to play with T Shirts, die-cuts or bumper stickers. The Snow is here and the lift tickets are cheap. If I'm not under a car, I'm probably at the slopes.
Sorry
Hopefully by the end of this month I'll have something to show.

PM me with your shirt size if your up for one. I'll post a product before I you have to commit. Just gives me an idea.

I've been trying to get around to T-Shirts but by the time I work a 8 hour day wearing a respirator, I just wanna get out of there. The die cut sample is ready from DeCalCo. I will pick that up on Tuesday afternoon and try and post some pics. It's white reverse (interior application). I still need to get an estimate of how many we want for an estimate on price.
I'm thinking of doing:
20 large 2 color reversed(interior application) long logo die cuts
16 medium 2 color reversed(interior application) long logo die cuts
20 short 2 color reversed(interior application) long logo die cuts
10 large 2 color standard(exterior application) square logo die cuts
40 small 2 color reversed(interior application) square logo die cuts
16 small 2 color standard(exterior application) square logo die cuts

The quote for the estimate will be based on this unless changed.

500 Black 2 color 3x12" Bumperstickers
Material is in stock. I just need to finish the graffix layout and prep a screen and start printing.

Is everyone happy with Black t-shirts BTW? I never had a white t stay white longer than a day.

Black T's ->Simple 2 color small square logo centered on front, small 2 color long logo centered on shoulders on back. This gives me the opportunity to add a larger image on the front or back later as well. Meds are in stock and I beleive the other shirts arrived and are hidden with other incoming inventory.

5 smalls
15 meds
15 larges
10 xl

Any call for xxls? I didnt order them but I can put then on a shop order next week.

I have to speak with Chad in regard to how we will handle sales and exchange.

That works. I think it might get a bit long. But it works. It will look good when its filled. I guess cut and paste as you go and keep the text small to conserve space.
