What's the best way to get some custom stickies made?

If you want die cut vinyl, give a vector file to a guy with a vinyl cutter, specify size and color, and have at it.

I have a vinyl cutter and a lot of vinyl and can give you a good price if you have a graphic.

The above graphic is what I have. Unsure how to change it to vector, I'm too far removed from the graphics world to remember such things.

Like 10 stickers or some kind of real quantity? I have been looking at https://www.stickerguy.com for my sticker needs, but I'm sure there's others around.

I'm not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but I just tried converting your picture to an .svg file with the PHP script at this URL:

The converted file is located here:

Let me know if that works.

Our local sign shop is usually pretty reasonable at cutting vinyl.

Anyone who can cut vinyl should be able to convert a line drawing like that to vector.

Looks like stickerguy.com is a good suggestion for a printed sticker - I'll keep that one on file. Thanks David!

There's a guy on this board who does vinyl in Wisconsin. Can't think of his name but he had a bunch of DSM's a while back. I'll dig up some old emails soon.

I've dealt with stickerguy before. His service is great, but the quality is a little chincy.

I found this place: http://stickerobot.com/ but I haven't actually ordered from them yet. Supposedly the quality is great in comparison.

I have some samples from Sticker Robot, and they're nice. Sticker Robot seemed a little more expensive, though. How cheap were the Stickerguy stickers? Do you think they'd weather well?

I'm going to make some alterations to the rat and then I'll be contacting various groups and I'll post what I get in response.

This guy does all my race car work and is working on doing a custom checkage flag stripe on my f350. He uses only the best vinyl. Never had a fade ishue with his stuff.

Stickerguy did some band stickers for some friends about 6 years ago. I still see them on car bumpers, guitar cases...ect. They hold up very well!

Know someone with a Cricut machine?

Buy some vinyl and figure out how to use the machine and you can go crazy with making diecut stixxors :)

I'm from Wisconsin and once owned a DSM and have a vinyl cutting equipment - could be me. I can convert your file to vector line art and cut decals. Let me know the size, quantity, and color. Email me at Lenhart06@yahoo.com
