Repro (Atari) serial stickers

[etienneodk]

Ok Guys..

I have carefully added all the things that i could imagine to the production sheets.

Although i think i did everything according to the orders you gave me, i would strongly suggest to take a look at this post :

Check if your order is correct, and if not, let me know !

I am also human after all, and mistakes are human as you know...

so please check the status, and let me know if there is anlything wrong so i can ajust it before taking it to the printers 5 October.

Thank you !

Etienne

I'm bummin'... should have got in on this

So, when do we pay you? Are you sending us all PMs soon? Thanks!

Dang I totally missed this thread. Probably wouldn't have gotten around to checking my games for sticker types, but still bummed.

I am waiting the invoice of the printers, because i want to calculate the final price based upon the costs as mentioned earlier

I dont have the invoice yet so its difficult to calculate it now

i will PM you guys when i got the things sorted out and things like that

sweet, etienne. that looks awesome. can't wait to slap the sticker on my tempest.

 

[etienneodk]

I have received the invoice, and i calculated the costs...

I have good and bad news, the bad news first..

As you could see in the report on DLF, the cutting was a problem

But that is only a problem for etikets with round corners..
The straight etikets are fine, since i can cut those on my rol cutter, and with scissors

Now the good news, i have stated that the costs will be depended on the orders i have received, so that means more etikets, the cheaper the price per etiket.

We thought it would be below 10$ each like stated in the first post, based on cutting and printing.

Since the cutting was a problem, the printer/cutter just billed me with the costs of the printing, and one knive for his cutting device.

Calculated with the orders i have received, the final price is 3$ per etiket.

I will start with the cutting soon, because i have had a very busy time last weeks, i simply did not have the time yet to cut them.

Anyway, when i have cut them, i will contact you guy's by PM to make the final arrangements.

I can provide a link to the PDF files that i have used, so you can use that as a template if you want to cut the round corners yourself with a scissors or something.

So you're going to cut them all square? I think this would be best, and leave it up to the end user to further cut if they want.

Thanks!!!!

 

[Tronic]

I think this was a smart choice as well, since it ended up keeping the cost down. Can't wait to see the end product.

I can cut them square to the size they need to be, of i can simply cut between the etikets since they have 5 mm spacing between them.

Good point of you.

So to everyone involved, let me know if you want them the exact size, or "roughly cut"

(prefferably by PM then i can keep track of it without reading the tread every time, and while youre at it, PM me the adres where to send them to also please, and i will send you the amount and Paypal adress back by PM)

Sneak preview

Me cutting them:

Note that the light and flash makes them look a bit weird (its night time atm here over the pond..), but in reality they are supersharp

Etienne,

If you have any remainders on the black Atari serial stickers (or if you're planning on printing more in the future) I am interested. Didn't see this thread til now, and have completely missed the boat...

 

[kspiff]

Same here (at least for the common US Atari serial stickers)... but I think I recall reading earlier in the thread that these were printed to order.

Someone else was doing or did at least a couple of these variations before (I have a few). Maybe that other printer still sells them? Can't recall who it was though...

EDIT: I am wondering if anyone local to me has a typewriter I could use to actually fill mine in though! lol

 

[etienneodk]

Yes, it was printed to order, and the sheets where 100 x 70 cm.
If there will be another run, that will depend on the demand.

if there is enough demand for another sheet, or more, then i can concider to do another run.
i never say never...
Calculating with the average size of the stickers, i can fit 70 - 75 stickers in one sheet.
So if you can manage an order of 70 - 75 pieces, i can do another sheet.
but first i want to finish this,

I will see if there are leftovers, for example if there is someone backing out or something like that.

I will keep it posted here after i finish this.

Cutting done

Slipped everyting in enveloppes and took the weight of each of them to calculate the shipping costs.

The envelopes i used are enforced ones with cardboard to prevent blending during shiping.
I will attach labels with "fragile" and "do not blend" on them as an extra precaution.
I hope the postal service doesn't screw up..

People involved will receive a PM soon with details.

Have a few leftovers, i will check all envelopes again to see if they are really leftovers

Awesome..can't wait!!
