Thread: cost of sticker cutting

I had some stickers made (6cm times 2 cm) in a Digital Printing studio in Jl. Teuku Umar, right side, close to the main intersection, where all the banks are. Printed on waterproof shiny, plastic-like surface. Cost was around Rp. 180.000 for 100 piece.

If you want small volumes only, don't go to a 'normal' printing studio, which clutter the main roads in Legian or Kuta. They will quote you way higher prices. They first create a printing template (schablone) and they can only print a minimum of 500-1000 pieces or up. You will probably pay then around Rp.500.000 to 750.000.

I checked around 10 printing outlets, before I found that cheaper one. Look for 'Digital Printing', that should do it, as they print right from the computer onto the material.

Bring your sample on an USB Thumbdrive and negotiate as usual....

In December 2010, we will be permanently moving to Bali to operate our signwriting business. We are importing all of our equipment which and will be able to computer cut stickers and professional signage. Does anyone believe there is a need for these type of services on the island? While quality materials will still be shipped from Oz, we believe we can still offer these services at a low price.

Election campaigns, which are frequent, create a big demand for large format digital printing. In between time, there is probably an over-supply of printing capability.

Our primary work is the production of computer cut vinyl signage for both small business and corporate customers. We currently do corporate logos, shop fronts and signs, cars, buses, trucks, boats, bikes etc. From my research I would have to agree with you that there are alot of "Printers" in Bali but cut vinyl signs last longer and can provide a cleaner image for customers at a more competitive price. Well that all works here in OZ but I'll have to wait and see once the move is made.
Cheers All

On another note could anyone give an indication of what a an average sign may cost in Bali from current providers??

$21AUD for a printed sticker the size of the back window. WOW they obviously aren't sourcing the materials from OZ. I will have to investigate cheaper suppliers if I hope to get my bowl of rice of an evening lol
