  • Stickers for clothing/one day event

    Posted by Iain George on 19 May 2019 at 14:53

    I have been asked to provide some stickers for an event. All they want are the cheap stickers like you get from a charity when you pop a pound in the bucket. They last about 10 mins on a jumper and then fall off [emoji3].
    I have CJV 30-60 so solvent ink. I usually use Metamark for normal decals but am looking for a cheaper alternative as these are just throw away items.
    Any recommendations would be great. Also by the meter rather than a roll as I can’t see them wanting more than 100 or so.

    Have you a printer that can run a4 Iain? For some jobs we buy a4 sheets of paper labels from label planet and out them through our laser printer. Much faster and cheaper than going near the Roland’s.

    I’m sure you can get paper sheets by Avery. A4 and cut into circles 20-30 on a page, you just do the artwork to match the sheet and put them in your desktop printer.

    We print return address labels for the post office stuff this way,

    If it’s only 100 labels, then just use whatever your cheapest stock material is! You will spend more than it’s worth on extra material & delivery

    Not sure if MD 3 from Metamark will stick on clothes.

    I couldn’t comment on that material as I don’t use it, but give it a try, you may be surprised!
