Title: Custom made stickers.Please read!
Post by: slcric on April 26, 2010, 10:28:23 AM: Hi all,
This is my first post and would like to mention that this forum looks very informative and active with some good members contributing to the forum.
As i'm new to this forum i'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to post this but here's my post.
I'm interested in having my own stickers on my bat,so i hired a designer to design it for me on Photoshop and now i have no idea what to do next.Can anyone please tell me step by step what i have to do next?and how much would it cost me roughly for the whole process?

Thanks

Costs depend on quantity - the more you order the cheaper it gets.

P.S If there is any batmaker out their who has any information that would be grate.

'Vandal free, tamper proof, high quality vinyl, foil stickers'

You will get good quality prints that will not deteriorate.

Alternatively, just get some off ebay.
