Joystick Art Label

Post by gennss »

Is there anywhere online that you can just order the semi laminated label?

Where can I get high quality art for printing?

LamiLable is just a laminated paper print with an adhesive backing. If you can't get Laminated art with a adhesive backing, spray on adhesive and double-sided carpet tape (Indoor) would also work.
other ideas: Orafol adhesive artwork, custom plexiglass so you can just buy it once and switch it out if you feel like it.

Ok, what you need to do is get your artwork ready, take it to your local Kinko's (now known as Fedex Office) Get an 11x17 print of your art (will cost you 1.78) then use what they call "Lami-Label" that will run you another 3.99. After some careful cutting and patience you will end up with something like this:

I used an exacto knife to cut out the buttons, it doesnt need to be percicse because the rim of the buttons cover the edges so close enough is fine. The material I mentioned "Lami-Label" is lamination with an adheisive back that works like a sticker.
