    Hi, looking to get some custom stickers made, anyone know someone who does this sort of thing, the ones I have contacted don’t even reply.

    Cheers

    Try contacting Gil at The Cycleshed. He does all sorts of stuff. Lots of the Retrobike crew, myself included, have used him.

    if you do manage to get a reply from slik graphics (they were great in my case) they do excellent work.

    this is a custom five decal kit based on the patriot sticker kit.

    I got a quick response from Slik… Mind you I sent them full mockups that they could have gone straight to print with, and source images and dimensions and that so they could choose to rebuild the design from scratch if need be, so it’s probably an easy job for them. No offence to the OP but I wonder how many ignored inquiries are along the lines of “I need some stickers, sort of a bit like the ones off a ’90s Kona but with extra cats”

    Slik were great. Got all the artwork to them, and they checked it all over, okayed it, and I got the stickers through about a week later. They’re on proper heavy duty vinyl, so look made to last…

    The whole sticker/decal issue has been done before (by me), the only place they belong is carefully peeled off everything possible, and chucked in the bin!

    Did you really get a Greggs sticker made?

    No offence taken , I want a set of decals for a carbine 275, intense do not sell them at the moment, what’s best way to approach this.
    Northwind were or how did you do mockups?

    I’ve used Slik and the quality is excellent.

    You probably need to give him a call if you haven’t had a reply though.

    I did indeed faustus 😀

    If you’re supplying them with artwork, they prefer illustrator eps files

    Best decals are the water transfers that go under the clearcoat.

    I do my powdercoated frames that way.

    stickers without a clear over them peel and look tatty after a bit, but vinyl stickers are too thick to go under the clearc.

    Gil M every time !!!!!!

    Slik best avoided …. I can handle a bit of a wait but to be told over the phone repeatedly yes I’ll confirm artwork tonight then repeat for few weeks !!! I gave up 🙁

    I’ve had one set from Slik before and it was pretty painless. This job should have been an easy, open file, change colour and make. Got the usual promises but then nothing.
