Thread: Vinyl stickers?

you may wish to explore cut vinyl letters. These come on two backing sheets, one that does the adhesive side, and one for the non adhesive side.
You take off the sheet on the adhesive side, place where you need, rub down and then remove the other sheet.

This way you have the least coverage getting in the way of the timber...

Any sign manufacturer with a digital printer could produce them

I have used these two and both have been pretty good.
This one is a bit cheaper.

I have a machine to cut those stickers. Unfortuantly I am still in the throngs of moving house so probaby cant help just yet. If you need them fast, then a signmaker is who you want to visit. The material they make it with is like contact, they cut it out then remove the unwanted stuff by hand, so dont expect it to be cheap. The material comes in 600mm and 1200mm widths, so you could get a few made at the same time.

When you contact a sign maker, make sure you explain what you want; "vinyl letters" are a little bit bit more complicated to apply, a "digital print" is just like a sticker peel off the backing and apply.

Vinyl lettering is used in specialist applictions these days Digital print is fast becomming the norm in the sign industry

some digital print machines (I used to run one) that can print any length, up to say 1500 wide (and more now) and 40mm thick...I was printing cardboard coffins, glass sheets, 6mm mdf panels, metal boxes...

I have 2 addictions (oh ...make that 3 ... but then there's ... hmmm... 4, no... 5 ...) I have a number of addictions one being woodwork and another is ZAZZ.
ZAZZ is one of those websites that sells REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF for only one day and you have to order on the day or it's gone! OK, I admit that the thongs (flip flops?) with artificial grass on the top are probably OTT but ... they occasionally sell kids height stickers which appear to be printed on matt clear self adhesive film designed to be stuck on painted walls. Maybe something like that where the layout is done for you?

Never thought of that. The flat bed printers they use for corflute might be the go! Print directly to the timber itself!

Or you could just order something like this:

Thanks for the heads up people. I had a friend contact me about Etsy and have already had a look at their gear. I was hoping to get something more local. There is a sign shop I the next town so I will call in next week to have a chat. hanks again groovers. Damien.

If you get stuck let me know. I am not really set up for it yet, but could roll the vinyl plotter in next to my computer.
