"CUSTOM" DECAL SHEET PRICES

What is the ballpark number of decals per sheet? I realize that size matters, but based on your experience I assume that you have some metric that will help determine the number of decals per sheet.

That is a really great price ! It takes a lot of time to set up and get everything correct in size and the font.

Most custom makers charge about 100 bucks to do an initial set up.

We just finished a sheet for a CNJ twin bay hopper and there are nine (9) sets
on that one. On average, depending on the size of the set, there would be
between 4 - 12 sets per sheet.

As you would suspect, we are not the average decal maker. We are a "CUSTOM"
decal maker. Our business is more about the client and not the bottom line.
Although we do have to make a profit to stay in business we try to provide a
service that everyone in model railroading can afford.

Okay Dave, I've been following all your postings with some interest. Some questions:

 

-How big is the sheet you print in inches?

 

- What is the margin size... the printable area within the actual decal sheet size?

 

-Let's say I do all the artwork, prepared for you. What sort of format can you work from? One decal maker I know of can only work in Correl. Let's say I just want a bunch of words, which I typeset in Word: Can I send you the Word document or save it as a TIFF or JPEG? Do you prefer hard copy art or some electronic format?

 

-Let's suppose I want a NYC cigar band logo at a specific size, which is red, white and black. Do you need this as a color separation, or can I just place the decal on my planned artwork for you.

 

- Is there any size change between artwork and actual decals? Some places want artwork to be X percentage bigger. Say, I give you exact size artwork that I have measured for my project... is that doable?

 

 

I looked on your website and didn't see mention of decal sheet size, nor do I believe you have mentioned it prior, though maybe you have. Anyways, just some general questions.

 

Thanks.

 

Our decal sheets are 8.5" x 11" less 1/2" all around = 7.5" x 10" usable print
area.
Contact us off forum and we will try to answer all of the rest of your
questions.

BTY I forgot to mention that when you purchase custom decals from LBR Enterprises,llc our single sets can cost as low as $5.50 USD which, as always, includes FREE SHIPPING IN CONUS. Don't think anyone else is doing that. Do you?

Dave,LBR

looks like a pretty good deal to me!

So is that price list at the top for art and print???

If we provide artwork ready to print same cost??

What graphics software do you use??

Thanks

Same price whether we do the art work or you provide it.

We use basic ADOBE for windows 95 & 98 and a lot of other programs.
