How to make Bumper Stickers?
« on: Feb 03, 2007, 10:19:10 AM »
About a year ago I saw a bumper sticker that I liked, and created it from scratch in adobe with modifications to suit Marlin Crawler products.

I made it pretty large and then put the files on my mem card, printed out a copy, and took it to my mall.

There is a sticker Kiosk there that my friend recommending me to use.

Well, the guy couldn't print so many colors, and he wanted to charge like $10 per sticker or something ridiculous like that....

So I returned home and researched a bit about buying a printer myself, and also looked around for internet printing sites......


Which brings me to my question: I remember finding a site that I could upload an image to, select a quantity and size, enter credit card #, and they would make them and ship them to me.
As I recall it was a pretty good deal, like less than $3 per sticker or something.....

So I am wondering, for those who have made their own bumper stickers, what do you recommend? I really like the idea of just uploading a file and having it made and shipped to me. Anyone know of a good site for this?

I've got 6 designs I want to turn into waterproof bumper stickers. Anyone with experience on this? Thanks! :beerchug:

Graphics shops? They usually have very expensive printers that can print anything. That is where I get my stuff done.

Mike have you talked to the guys who do the shops stickers, they probably want to run mass quantities too though. Only other thing I can think of would be  a sign shop that does truck lettering etc.

I could ask the guys who do our :turtle: stickers, but I am pretty sure they only do very large quantities.

As for the GOT MARLIN and the (new) MC0x "More Balls" stickers, that would work.. but I've got a few stickers of my own I want to maybe offer for sale on my personal website soon.

I'm looking for like quantity 20 or 30 or so..
