Small custom decals needed....
55ant - 4/2/13 at 03:10 PM

Hi All,

Need some help. I need the image below in two sizes, (20mm x 20mm and 100mm x 100mm - 20mm is more important though). The stickers need to be waterproof as they will be outside and stuck on bikes/cars etc.



SO my problems are...

1. I dont thing a paint file is an acceptable format and it quickly pixelates when expanding the image, what is the best format to get it into and how can I sharpen it up?

2. Any recomendations on where to get these decals made, I'm aware of minimum orders, 50 would be ok but don't want to be buying stuff that wont be used. I would like the picture facing both ways. I'm also after a big decal with this and a few bits added, I'm sure someone on here did decal printing?


Many thanks for any help,

Ant

Vector based file would be best as it is easily scalable to any size without pixelating. I use Adobe Illustrator for doing all my vector based stuff. Most places will print from jpegs, which I'm sure you must be able to save from paint, but you would have to turn up the resolution and redraw it most likely from the file you have there.

There is a stick/decal place in Derby I have used a few times, no minimum orders and not ridiculously expensive but that would probably be too far for you to use.

The place I have used is just a franchise so assume there will be one conveniently located if you wanted to try them.
