  Posted by Aidan Claffey on 14 April 2013 at 17:53

  hi everybody,
  im a newbie, so hopefully someone can help me out. i am thinking of getting into making Safety Signs and Numberplates for the Irish Market. is their software companies out their that do this. Also, if i was to get into this business do i need to have some sort of a licence to sell the Numberplates.

  What equipment are you planing to use to do this? Impact sell the up to date Health & Safety Sign Disc as well as vehicle outlines, there are other companies selling them but don’t know how good their discs are.
  Not sure if you need to be registered to sell number plates in Ireland or not, if you are then you would need to register in order to not only sell them but to buy the blanks.
  Software for making them tends to come bundled with the machines.

  hi martin,
  thank you very much for the swift reply. at the moment im working away with a cameo silhouette and i also have an OKI C711 WT Printer. so far i have looked at the Impact site and that should do me for the safety signs, now il have to see about the Numberplat thing for the irish market

  Don’t know if this helps at all, it’s not something I do myself.

  hi aidan,and welcome to uksb,at the moment you dont need a licence but im sure our goverment will change that!! 😕 .its a market mostly controled by motor factors,but we do sell plates to sign customers that know we can do them,the other side to number plates is the boy racer market who are looking for something not legal!! which wont pass our NCT as for investing in software/machines to just make number plates i cant see how it would pay,also most dealers can do there own so that further narrows the market.john 🙂

  Thanks,
  martin and john, you help is greatly appreciated. im sure the numberplate wont be a big thing for me, but it will probably help along the way with the other stuff im into. their is a company called laser graphics and they are doing the Numberplate and safety sign Software and a deluxe jig for 740 sterling ex vat. would this be the best company to deal with or is their cheaper ones out their?. thanks a mil
