DIY Coin Inserts
Outrun:
Hi Crowquill,
The labels are printed on, I'm assuming vinyl, but they appear to be inside the plastic so i can't get to them/file them off. The plastic looks like a one piece affair similar to a plastic key fob that might contain a picture/joke item etc.
Bit of a shame i can't reuse these really because I'm not look forward to cutting a hole for the coins to go through if i have to use replacement perspex or similar. :(
MikeDeuce:
Cool, hope I can help out here.
There's 2 issues/shortcomings (on my part) I can think of... some of the smallest text may not cut cleanly/at all... but I can do a test and see how close I can get it.
And the other is that the vinyl is opaque, so the color vinyl will not let light through if it's solid, as you have pictured. When it's cut, like the black portions, the light will shine through the empty spaces. Someone that can print on vinyl might be able to do it the first way, but unfortunately my machine only cuts shapes out.
I'll do some testing and get back to you! Please feel free to PM me anytime.
thanks!
mike

Thanks MikeDeuce I've been having a look at the your post & this looks like the ticket for me. So much so that I'm already thinking ahead to the CP button design for Mamewah config buttons & PC power switch button so I'd like to order some of your regular stuff to. :cheers:
Are you able to produce coloured labels including black on the same label ?(I'm hoping to use coloured labels as opposed to using coloured bulbs)? Or even producing two labels for each insert i.e sticking black text on a yellow piece of vinyl?
As a rough guide, I'm trying to replicate the UK labels i remember from yesteryear but I'm not sure if they are too complex for you. Could you take a look & see what you think ?? If they are i can simplify them to just showing the coin denomination i.e 10p, 20p
