I need to get 5-10 vinyl decal stickers printed, all the same, approx. 5cm x 5cm. I already have the vector graphic. I have emailed a few companies online and no-one has replied.

Anyone know who I can get to do this for a reasonable cost? These are for a frame, will be unlaquered, so robust and good quality is a must.

Cheers

    Ezy Rider can tell you all about a superb decal supplier, don't expect any photos though:

    Most frame painters can offer that, they will also be able to lacquer the frame for you as well

    In no particular order here are just a few that I know of who should be able to offer custom vinyl decals. I composed this list for another post about frame painters, including a few notes about some of them that are not strictly relevant here as you may only want the decals but should having frame the lacquered the notes maybe of interest:

    Probably slightly better than Vaz at the more intricate finishes; although I have not used Vaz for a few years, he may be as good now; an example My Bike, a good balance of quality versus pricing.

    Argos

    Very respected and established, good quality and not as much as an investment as some.

    Not seen their work since Dave left 'M Steel', not sure if he does them in house or if he outsources paintwork and Vinyl logos, but if you need some work done to the frame then he will probably be able to offer and organise a respray.

    I used to work there, (sales, bike fitting and custom made to measure geometry designs). Very high quality finishes, their facility is well worth a visit; they have become very impressive on every level. The quality of their frame building and paint shop has evolved to rival the very best in the world; first class. They definitely offer custom vinyl decals, they invested thousands in the equipment as they do all the frame finishing in house.

    Very helpful reply but I would hope he's had them done in the last 8 years.

    No problem, it was a good reply for two reasons.
    1. Genuinely helpful for future reference
    2. Always funny to read the other decals thread linked above.

    I appreciate this thread is eons old, but as it may come up on searches, my decal provider of choice is a chap called Tom from a company called inkmyride.

    Not the cheapest, but the quality, to my mind, justifies it.
