Default Low tack custom vinyl stickers?

I'm after a service like:

http://www.discountbannerprinting.co...-stickers.html

but without the £50 min order (£20 would be acceptable).

I want to produce a number of really pukka one-off vinyl labels for
various signage in the house (2 CUs breaker designations), valve purpose
on the "plumbing" cupboard, stuff like that.

I'll be submitting the electronic design - I just need printing onto a
good medium upto about 45cm wide by 5cm high. I don't mind cutting a
number of prints out of a single sheet.

Low tack sticky plastic is best in case anything gets changed.

Anyone know another printer like the above, but with more flexible pricing?

Print your own, search for static cling inkjet film, UK suppliers don't
spring to the top of the list though ...

Don't have an inkjet - but a laser medium would be OK as do have a
colour laser

I was wondering that - but beyond paper labels (no good) I could not
think of a suitable stock.

45cm wide would be a problem, but as that one is a singular case , 2 or
3 sections abutted would be just about OK.

What sort of area (cm2) we talking?


Various, between "small" to 45x5 so about 250cm2


Vistaprint (cough) do various "upload your own image" sticker
printing options...


Thanks - I'll check them out

I also have numerous black friday discount codes that might apply
depending...

Just noticed the 45 x 5 :-)

Is the 45cm a "continuous image"?
or could it be built up out of
smaller 280mm subsections?


As that one is a CU label, it could just as well go on in 2 pieces.

That's one reason I wanted to avoid "mega sticky" and go for easy peel -
in case I have to change it.

I had considered magnetic, but me being me wondered if their tiny field
would mess with the magnetic component in the RCBOs...

size 279 x 76mm £3.79 ex vat ex works.

Dunno if they peel off easy though?

And watch the ex vat pricing & sly delivery charges!

Have you considered label making devices, that produce various sized
lettering on tape which can be purchased in various colours?

You can buy peel and stick vinyl that works with a color laser printer.

And label stock too.

I've used that to decorate model planes.

Have one - not possible to do nice alignment and the tape is not wide
enough.

etc.

It costs very little to get in a pack of matt or gloossy.

cutting straight sided sections is trivial with steel ruler and craft knife.

Don't use inkjet., inks fade faster than 1950s color photographs. And
lost of them are not waterproof either.

That link does say "strong adhesive " more than once, so may not

your welcome, also print your own `letraset`, No experience of exact product though would recommend vendor, previous experience of similar usually needs a coating to protect it, will remove with an ink rubber.

If you need a lot of signs get a vinyl cutter, i.e. desktop size
