A long time ago I made up HAMB name tags similar to that. Steal the artwork here: http://lonestar.texas.net/~mcdaniel/HAMBLabel.pdf
That's a good idea...not everyone is such an ego maniac that they have their name lettered down the side of their ride, in 12" letters.
Pappy always said if yer gonna do something do it right. I was too busy using my screwdriver as a hammer to listen, but here are some cheap sticker printers: http://www.stickerguy.com/ http://www.stickerslut.com/ http://contagiousgraphics.com/ http://www.koolprint.com/StickersHome.asp I don't know any of these companies BTW, I just did a search for cheap sticker printing.
I'm just a grenade inspector but I'd take half a dozen or so. Seems like a great idea. I was at Dewey last year and it would have been nice to put a face to a name.

[/ QUOTE ] I've got major sticker hook-ups here in Dallas... All I am waiting on is Ryan's OK, then I will proceed... I sent him a PM, so I will let you guys know if it's a go... HC
Man you guys are tough to please.... I still have a bunch of decals that I have ALREADY MADE!!!!! I thought I was going to save them for a T-shirt deal, but if you are all that impatient I will offer them now, with Ryans permission that is. There are about 40 big ones (1.0 x 6.5) and 240 little ones (.5 x 4.5)
Broman.... If you are offering them and Ryan signs off on it.... I thought that the best way to do it would be to have everyone that wanted one to send a self addressed, stamped envelope and throw a sticher in and drop it in the mail.... Did you print those at home? What was the cost to you? HC
I didn't print these at home. I did them at work and paid for the materials myself. I had planned on offering one big one and two small ones for $5.oo. Of course Now that I have counted them I realize it won't quite work out that way, but maybe I can figure out something after I run out of big decals like instead of 1 lg 2 sm I could give 4 sm .?.. The rolls of vinyl cost about $50.oo and the foils used to print the red onto the vinyl costs about $100.00 I had bought the materials and done some other stuff for myself before the HAMB decals. But I ordered more than I needed for exactly this reason. I wanted to do something for the board. Basically I have no idea how much to charge because if someone else went to a decal shop to get these done they'd pay a ton more than I did, but at the same time I can't cut myself out totally because I did these at work and I do this for a living. I want to give half to the HAMB if I can. And if I run out of decals I might have to go somewhere else to get these done, as I have run myself out of materials and it was a one shot deal with my boss....Otherwise he'd treat me just like a customer (he'd bend me over the counter). Plus if I did this and people DIDN'T send me a self addressed STAMPED envelope I wouldn't be able to do it. Once the orders start flooding in I might have some trouble monetarily speaking. I AM BROKE!!!!
Ok, I'll hold tight and see where this goes... I get stickers printed from my connection anywhere between .28 and .75 cents each... I know that I can get a good deal (probably around .50 cents each) and I was just gonna front the cash to have some printed and have everyone send a self addressed, stamped envelope and a $1.00 bill and I would put 2 in each envelope and send them back.... I will see what Ryan has to say and go from there... HC
I'll take some of the ones you already have made up or I'll take some from a new batch, I don't car which.
Digital print shortrun decals are usually charged by the square foot. That cost includes set up, materials, running it, and sometimes a UV coating. Design and layout is extra and above cost of printing. I've seen some charge from $6.00 to $36.00 a Sq.Ft. Screen printed decals and diecut, I don't know those figures. Anybody have educated guess? 2% worth. Joel
Update... I have been playing with this on the computer at home and have realized that I can print about 200 for about $10.00 cost to me (not including ink usage) (figure about another couple of bucks for ink)... I am willing (again if Ryan approves) to print up about 400 of these bad boys, hand cut them out and send them to anyone who sends a self addressed, stamped envelope to me. I will eat the cost as a gift to my friends on the HAMB! If I need to print over 400, I might ask for small donations to help out in case of high demand.... but other than that, I am down! Ryan? HC
