Can you recommend a place to have a small CP type label printed?
« on: December 02, 2009, 09:15:36 pm »
Hi,

I have a product I am looking to have a label made for.    Perhaps 2" to 2.5' inches tall by 8" long.  It will also need to have five 3/8 holes punched into it.  It needs to be peel and stick on so I can attach it to a plastic enclosure.

Can anyone recommend a printer or company that could produce this type of thing?

What type of material should I have it printed on?

All ideas welcome,

Thanks!

Alan

Is it for production or just for personal use? If it is the latter, could you just print from a home ink-jet printer onto a label?

Hi,

It is for a product I am producing, but I thought about doing them myself depending on how difficult it would be.

Do they make glossy or textured sticky backed inkjet printable labels?

Thanks,

Alan

Try your local next day signs or vinyl graphics sign shop.
They can print on an assortment of materials, and cut the holes etc...
Most vinyl require a smooth non porous surface to adhere to.

However, they can also print on some plastics/lexans (extremely thin) for instrumentation panels, guage faces, etc... all with the ability to be back lit.

Most sign shops have small format printers (some use a gerber edge thermal heat process, others inkjet with a laminate) and can cater to small runs/prototyping as easily as the larger volume orders.

Don't blame me when you see all the different materials they have and come back with a gazillion new ideas. ;)
