sticker to go on a ball
Hi all,
I have a customer that wants me to quote for 7500 full colour stickers at the size off around 100mm x 125mm to stick on a ball. The surface of the ball is smooth. He was saying that the sticker will need slots in to help it go around the ball. If cast vinyl is used to print on, then will it need slots in. I think cast will easily go around the balls curve.
What do you all think. Has anyone done this before and can give me some advice on this.
Thanks in advance

Cut a piece of vinyl of size 100mm x 125mm and try it for yourself and see. 😀

If the ball is small your going to get creases forming when you get closer to the edge of the ball. Maybe try heating the vinyl when being applied to basically wrap it around the ball. But thats why you need to cut slots to get an overlap and no crease to give the vinyl somewhere to go.
If the ball is say a soccer ball or a fairly large ball you should be almost fine.

Mark, 7500 balls would be cheaper to screen print in all seriousness.
Failing that, so many variables in this request, but I’d be using a wrap material for the best result, but the price and effort would, I think, be prohibitive.
Otherwise, you’d need to cut the shape in a star type pattern, to reduce the crease pattern.
How big is the ball? Is it a beach ball, or a soccer ball?

Pad printing is possibly the solution.
I´ve sub-contracted this kind of work for golf-balls. There are set-up costs but for such a large qty. it would probably we worth it.
Not sure about full colour, so best to speak pad printers first.Chris
