What we are getting
Switch Stickers - They make your board look pretty!
The sticker is used to eliminate the small movement
(left-to-right) in the plastic part of the switch, so it is
not something major as oiling & greasing, but the
sensitive keyboard enthusiasts could not stand that tiny
flaw and made stickers that fit perfectly in that small
crack of the switch.
Also helps with PCB switches,
think about it, the plate already helps significantly in
stabilizing the switch since it holds the bottom of the
switch and the legs that hold the top half in place. On PCB
mounted switches you only have the contacts, legs, and
potentially a diode or LED to stabilize it, but the top half
of the housing has more room to wiggle and play. So if the
top is loose on PCB mounted, it will wobble more. The
sticker is supposed to make the top less wobbly and
stabilize it more.
These stickers would go really well with this GB as it
would show of your stickers!
The Design
Vinyl used will be 3mil or 4mil
depending on the vinyl. Below are the three designs that
will be available:
Original:
Moose (Better coverage IMO):
The sheets will be 6”x12” and have 8x16 stickers.
My
review of these stickers:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46665.msg992036/#msg992036
The size problem has been corrected and now they fit
perfectly.
Colors available
Switch stickers will
be offered in two categories:
-
Fixed price. The price of each sheet has been fixed based
on popularity of colors via a poll. The colors and their
price are mentioned below:
More
2. Tiered pricing. All the available colors except eh
ones above will also be available, however due to smaller
order quantity and sorting, the price of these would be
decided based on total quantities ordered. These price tiers
are not for an individual order but for the whole GB and
irrespective of the shape of the sticker. We hit price tiers
as following:
Price Tier 1: Initial price tier
Price
Tier 2: 50 sheets ordered for given color
Price Tier 3:
100 sheets ordered for given color

Plain Vinyl
You can also order plain vinyl if
you want, you may want this for some projects of your own or
get some plotting done by yourself, and since we are getting
vinyls in bulk, you would be able to save money. The prices
for a 1’x1’ sheet are $1 for solid colors and $2 for all the
other fancy stuff. Vinyl code and sample are in the below
table. If you want to order in bulk or want other dimensions
(In multiples of feet), PM me.

Custom Stickers
If you have some design you want
made into a sticker this can be arranged at the give prices
below. Any design can be plotted as long as it is in black
and white.
Eg:
More
The black part will be made into a sticker
Complex
designs can be printed on transparent sheet, thus having an
opaque look or printed on white vinyl. They will then be cut
along a borderline based of your design.. Just like printing
a sticker at home and cutting it out, except instead of
being on paper it would be on clear or white vinyl.
Eg.
More
The Pikachu would be printed and cut along the white part,
it can be cut without a border but there is a limitation on
the detail for small sized stickers.
Costing would be
$ 0.02 per sq. inch printed or plotted.
Release stickers (Area around sticker not needed
removed and a clear tape added on top to peel the sticker to
stick it somewhere and then remove the tape) would cost
$0.09 per sq. inch.
Shipping weight
for 1sq inch of vinyl is 0.175g.
All
custom stickers requested so far:
http://goo.gl/UdiTWe
Size (net) is the actual size of the sticker
Size(gross)
is the size of the vinyl used for cutting the sticker as
there are extras (around 2-3mm on each side) to accommodate
releasing and cutting the stickers.
Weight and price is
calculated based on the gross size of the sticker.
Minimum
Order Quantity
There is no MOQ on any sticker sheet
however there will be a 10 sticker MOQ on custom stickers.
There is also no MOQ for plain vinyls.
Costs +
Shipping
Each sheet will contain
8x16 stickers = 128 stickers folded in half
and be mailed in a CD/DVD bubble mailer by Registered Indian
Post.
The price for any sheet will be as it is
mentioned for each color in the table above
Weight of
bubble mailer + some extras (Surprise!) =
25g
Weight of one sticker sheet =
12g
Shipping will cost (Same
worldwide):
$4 for first 100g
$1 for every additional
100g
So you can get upto 6 sheets in the base shipping
cost ($4), and upto 7 more for each extra 100g ($1).
Weight
of 1’x1’ for plain vinyls is 25g.
Weight of custom
stickers is mentioned in the spreadsheet above.
Maximum
weight is 2000g. If you want to order more, I will have to
use bulk mailer, contact me via PM as shipping varies
depending on location for bulk orders.
PayPal will be
the only mode for payment.
These costs have been
mentioned factoring all costs such as productions, costs for
getting these to me, bubble mailer package, etc as well as
PayPal fees. So what you see is what you pay.
Ordering
You can place your orders here:

followed by payments by the end of October.

end.
