Need a sticker vendor

December 23, 2009 11:03 AM

Does anybody have a recommendation for a printshop in the northwest United States that could print a large number of cmyk stickers with a custom diecut? The estimate I got from my usual vendor was crazy expensive.

I've been very happy with my printer in Oregon, near Portland.

Just so you know, it's the custom die that's probably jacking-up the cost. If you can be flexible about the shape (i.e. less complexity) or even be able to go with a stock die, the cost will come down.

I have never used them, but friends who are independent musicians in the area speak highly of a company called Seatthole, and endorse them on their various internet projects.

Stickerobot does gang runs that keep prices low. They are based in California. Oh and they did all the Obama stickers.

Response by poster: I know the diecut is the pricey part but I am pretty keen on doing it. It may be my only chance! Plus, my local vendor is even pricing the design on a standard shape at over $1 a sticker, way too high for the number we are printing. I will ask for a bid from everybody mentioned in this thread. Thanks for the suggestions.
