==================================================================**Branching
off from this thread:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45931.0
Since I was able to get good pricing and finally some
good shipping rates for individual packages, I am planning
on starting a group buy for these switch stickers.
The
IC is to see if there will be a good number of orders for
switch stickers. The designs, colors, shipping costs and all
are mentioned below.
================
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
================
Click below to show the sticker designs
The
vinyl is 3mil for colored and
4mil for the metallic ones.
Below are
the three designs that will be available:
Original:
Moose (Best IMO):
Spider (Maybe not):
Canceled
The sheets will be 6”x12” and have 8x16
stickers.
See my review of these here:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46665.msg992036/#msg992036
================
The Colors
================
Colors can be seen here:
http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46665.msg992347/#msg992347
================
MOQ
================
There is no MOQ on total orders but atleast 10 sheets for
any color for the whole GB, can be combination of any of
the 3 designs (Eg, 3O, 3M, 4S).
This is not for
individual orders, this is for the complete GB
================
Time Frame
================
I would like to get this done as quickly as possible.
I will be sending samples to jdcarpe in the
next couple of days. Samples, sent and he approves of
them.
Once the GB starts:
- 3 week - ordering
- 2 weeks - invoicing
- 2 days - production
- 1 week - prepare for mailing
-
Around 2 weeks - shipping from me to you
So around 2 months from GB start to receiving product
================
The 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 would be
$1 only!
Weight of bubble mailer +
some extras (Surprise!) = 25g
Weight
of one sticker sheet = 12g
For
shipping within India: $1.5/kg
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).
Maximum
weight is 2000g. If you want to order more, 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.
================
More 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:
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.
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.
There
is no MOQ for custom designs, you can get even one sticker
printed.
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.
If vinyl is not
from Table 1.1 charges would be
halved and price of vinyl used added.
Shipping weight for
1sq inch of vinyl is 0.175g.
All
custom stickers requested so far:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApXIrLtiUwFVdGMyWVc3TFVvSEJlQlIwRHhaUnJVS1E&usp=sharing
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 the sides to accommodate
releasing and cutting the stickers.
Weight and price is
calculated based on the gross size of the sticker.
================
Vinyl Please!
================
I have gotten some message regarding people wanting
to buy vinyl only, this option will also be available at
below rates:
Add $0.5 extra to
shipping for larger bubble mailers
However the weight
of the bubble mailer will increase from
25g to 70g.
Vinyl will cost you $0.01
per sq inch for any of the vinyls listed in the Table 1.1
and at given costs in Table 1.2.
For the vinyl from
Paper Street Plastics contact me via PM.
Max size of
vinyl is 12”x12”, if you want bigger sizes, PM me and we’ll
work something out as then I have to use different packaging
and shipping depending on quantity.

Bulk Orders
================
I would like to invite vendors to contact me for bulk
orders if they would like to stock these in their online
stores, I will see bulk ordering options in those cases and
see if prices can be reduced further by eliminating extras
that ship out to other members.
