sticky label thing wanted (crap title)

[hovis]

let me try to explain............

im after a small sticker of about 1cm up to about 8cm with some writing on it

like that machine you had when you were a kid and labeled every thing with your name on so nobody would nick it, which was a black sticky tape and it typed white letters on it

but....... im after somthing a bit more classy maybe gold coloured background with black writing


any ideas ?

Paul the 6th might know, he's good with sticker things :D

A Dymo machine. Staples sell em but they're not cheap. £20 basic, £35 with bells and whistles.

Its the tape that dictates the colours not the machine. MMM let me have a look

Here where you can order the tape from.

Hovis If you don't mind white on black I can print something off.

[Mr Speirs]

Or you could buy the tape. Send it to me n I can print it off for you. The machines aren't cheap you see.

Oh yes, they exist all right. Daughter knows exactly where to find them in Staples. 'Dad, it's only £35' 'No!'

We have a dymo tape machine at work which does standard black letters on a white background. I think it's about 15mm high. Any good. I could get you done what you want and stick it in the post.

Or, I think another department has one that does larger lettering with different backgrounds.

Let me know what you intend to do and I will see if I can do it for you.

thanks,

15mm would be ok, but thats the tallest it could be, then the lenth would depend on size and how many letters, i guess?

i had my heart set on a gold background with black writting, i guess gold/silver on black would be ok too

not keen on black and white, as it would look odd i think

Why don't you just do your lettering design on a computer, and print it on a sticky label (the Avery address label thingy-bobs). Then just stick some clear sellotape over the top to waterproof the ink? It would then have a glossy finished looked.

its to go on a photo frame, so i want it to be a bit like a plaque(?)

i have seen sticky letters also, but think it would look cheap/tacky
