Vinyl stickers

My brother picked up a vinyl cutter for cheap and i've been doing some experiments on what I would like to cut and this is what I have come up with.

The ones I added are the Best Tank 70.4 mpg, PRIUSCHAT.COM, and the Averaging 59.5 mpg on the lower window. I have not cut these yet and just wanted some opinions.

Anyone have some better ideas for information to be added, different fonts, graphic designs, different locations?

Thanks. I wanted to make them up and out of the way. I did not want to make them large IN YOUR FACE and smug.

 

I would like to sell them or even get them in the priuschat store if Danny would like them. If I got the OK from danny I would like to sell them and give a percent of the profits to priuschat.com Unfortunatly since i'm doing this for my own personal use I dont buy in bulk. That means stickers would be expensive.

My vinyl cutter only cuts single color vinyl so something like the HSD decal would require a $1000+ cutter/printer. Wish I had the money for one of those. My brother picked it up for about $200. Its a 20 inch cutter. Roland Camm1 pnc-1000. Its not a bad little cutter.

Thanks for your interest but right now all I have is white vinyl. I dont plan to do much cutting and because of that I dont plan to order anymore colors at this time. Viny is expensive to invest in when you only buy a small supply and have a very small group of people interested in it.

This is only a guess right now but it looks like for me to recoup the loss in vinyl/cutting equipment/time/PC donation it would be around $10 per linear foot used. If I could get some more ideas and how many people want of each thing I might be able to make a package of decals for $10-20 plus shipping.

I also would not want to sell anything that is all ready in the PC shop. I would have to get danny's permission on the priuschat.com bent center decal because I dont want to interfear with the one that you can buy in the shop.

If there are a lot of people interested in this I might go into the vinyl cutting business :huh:

 

Well I finally got around to cut my vinyl stickers and they turned out exactly like what you see in the picture I posted in my first post. I say exactly because I made no further changes to the design. I will try to post a real photo on the next sunny day my car is clean.

These vinyl stickers are just like bumper stickers. They stick and when you peal them off they wont stick again. Or they wont stick again very well.

Depending how you peel them off they could leave some sticky stuff. But that can eaisly be removed with some googone.

 

Well here is what my stickers really look like as promised. This is the real deal and not a photoshop job like the last pictures. I made a change to the Averaging MPG sticker. I just made it two digits instead of three with a decimal point. This makes changing it a lot easier because I wont have to update it every time I get .1 MPG more or less on my average. I now just round up or down and when my two digit MPG changes I change it on my car.

Thanks.

The only thing holding me back from making a bunch of them is time. I currently dont have time to make a batch. I am working this week to clear out some space for my cutter so I can make them later. Because I currently dont have enough time I still havnt asked Danny if he would like a batch for the shop. Depending on how things go this week I may get around to emailing him about them.

One thing I would like to do if I do make them is to make some other stickers to go with it like the Best Tank and Averaging along with some numbers. Maybe some other hybrid type stickers too.
