    i bet he checked too !! i did !!!

    have to say, i do alot of club stickers, nearly always 100+, and they always want them as small as poss, especially the bike clubs, does yer head in, but a hundre stickers comes easy out of a few metres of vinyl, and at a quid and a half a pop (depending on time it takes to do one) its not a bad days money, especially if i pay the kids to do the weeding !! its worth the few screw-ups they make for me not to do it !

    done about 300 of the following now, the bike logo (their design) was an absolute pig to weed cos of all the thin sharp points on it, grrrrr !

    Been there, done that ,got the t-shirt, and arthritis.
    Richard, that looks like a great kind of job to sub out to a printer for next time. No need to kill yourself weeding. But I guess if it was well worth it. 😉

    500 of these printed worked out cheaper than i quoted by half but i would have only made half
    the edge would have been far to expensive to use the stars are 300mmx300mm i had good price to print them at £1.66 each but for 2 days work I’m well happy just going to finish off this morning

    rich been to the docs as i keep seeing stars !!!!!!!!!!

    Hi Rich,

    Curious to see how the Edge would have been “far too expensive”.

    Just did a quick calculation, cost price around 72p each, and a lot less work!

    Hi Rich,

    Havn’t got exact prices we pay in front of me (working from home for the morning, back in around lunchtime).

    However, looking at the Europoint price list, cost price for the materials based on their prices would be 43p per star!

    Chris.
