Waterslide Decal Printing Services - Where to go

Post by Scale_Engineering »

Hello All

Sorry to trouble, hoping somebody may have a great answer to steer me in the right direction.


Me and my business partner have been developing several products, at this stage mainly waterslide decals, for use within this hobby. We have developed the artworks with Spotmodels Printlab in mind, and are close to being fully ready to request a test print of the initial products.

However, while it seems like a fantastic service, We are very mindful of the bottom dollar that we are able to offer our products at, and are trying to really fight for the best value for money from our potential customers.

Naturally the volumes involved won't be huge, so expensive large print runs are out of the question.

Would anybody know an alternative supplier that will be willing to print our waterslide decals. Some of our products will be up to A4 size, and in some instances will need to be white, metallic etc.

We have thought about Michael at Indycals, but we are respecting his wishes that the subject matter be essentially not motorsport related.

Any assistance will be most appreciated - FYI if curious regarding our location, we are Australasian based :)

Thank you very much all.

No idea if he’d be interested but maybe try Pattos Place.

I've got two long lists for you, from my old Alps decals webpage:

Custom Alps decal companies:
https://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/ ... htm#custom

Custom decal companies using other printers:
https://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/models/decals.htm#other

These lists are maintained irregularly, so you will find some dead links.
