This entry is about an order on our Premium Stickers by Wide Span Sheds, one of the leading sellers of steel sheds and other structures.

Our Premium Stickers are made with both materials and ink rated for at least 3 years use outdoors, meaning that they are waterproof and UV (fade) resistant. These stickers make a great all-round high quality sticker, and are tough enough to survive outdoor conditions for an extended period of time.

Even though Wide Span Sheds were after a large volume of stickers, which is normally suited for different types of printing, we were able to offer them a very competitive price on a high quality product.

One great benefit that we have over other types of printing, such as screen or offset printing, is that we can produce stickers to just about any shape or size without the need for expensive die setup. As we not only print digitally, but also cut digitally.

We don’t charge differently for one or full colour printing, and can produce full colour photographic images for the same price as a single colour design.

For larger orders such as this one, we provide our customers with a free printed sample before committing to the full order. This allows the customer to test everything out first hand, from material durability to print quality, before moving ahead to production.  This ensures you’ll know exactly what you’re getting, and there are no surprises when the full order arrives.

We provide free overnight shipping to any metropolitan address across Australia, and always try to find the fastest carrier for any country locations.

We have now also expanded our capabilities in cutting stickers square or rectangular in one third of the time. This has lead to a discount on this product.

EARL Canteen placed another re-order with us, on our Short Term Stickers.

Our Short Term Stickers are made with a vinyl material rated for at least a single years use outdoors, meaning that they are waterproof and UV (fade) resistant. These stickers are perfect for relatively short term or disposable applications.

We’ve phasing out our current range of eco-solvent based inks/printers, and moving towards water based inks/printers. There are many benefits for not only us, but also the customer. Water based inks have virtually no dry time, which allows us to start cutting/finishing your order much faster than before. This will eventually lead us to shorter overall turnaround times, and quickly get those stickers to when you need them the most.

The water based inks are now more environmentally friendly, when compared to the chemical solvents used previously.

However the biggest topic with switching over to new printing technology is colour consistency.

We need to ensure that our existing and repeat customers are aware that there colours may not be exactly the same as before. Although the inks are just durable, there made by a different manufacturer, and not all inks are created equally. One company’s idea of a dark blue may not be the same as another company’s dark blue.

There can be some fiddling around with settings to ensure that the printer colour is exactly what the customer is after, especially in digital printing.Digital printing uses the 4 bases colours of CMYK to achieve a print. It works in a very similar process as a standard inkjet printer, where tiny amounts of CMYK ink are dropped onto the material to form an image.

However the good folks down at EARL were able to provide us with a Pantone colour as a reference, and we were able achieve a colour that they were quite pleased with.

Murdoch University, a magnificent institute of education located in Western Australia came to us regarding sticker printing.

They’re repeat customers of ours, and are particularly fond of our Premium Stickers.

These stickers are made with both a material and ink rated for at least 3 years use outdoors, meaning that they are waterproof and UV (fade) resistant. These stickers are a great high quality sticker, good for just about any general purpose application.

There order required quite a bit of design and layout on our end. They needed us to place their logo for the Banksia Association onto a circle shaped sticker, and perform multiple Pantone colour matches.

Their design was easily edited, as it was a vector graphic. In a nutshell, a vector graphic is another format for how the image data (the data used to tell us what the image looks like) is stored. Artwork in a vector format can be easily adjusted to any size or colour, and still remain immaculate (sharp and crisp).

Vector graphics are preferred for printing, as there easily editable and will ensure you receive the sharpest possible print every time. However they can only be used to for images with simple or limited colour. The Banksia logo is a perfect example of what can be vectorised. A photographic image (eg. a photo taken by a camera) wouldn’t be suitable as there is just too much detail and colour.

Murdoch University also had a colour requirement with their stickers. They need to maintain consistent colours across all of their branding, and specified a few Pantone colours that we needed to match.

We had to setup our machinery and colour profiles in a very specific fashion to achieve Pantone matches. I’ll go further into colour matching and digital printing in another entry.

In the end, we were able to setup their design perfectly, and achieve a very close colour match. They were very impressed with the final outcome, and I’m sure will be returning in the future.

Coming close to Christmas time, at Mediapoint, we wanted to do something special this year to treat our valued costumers and friends at this special time of year. Being the only female and designer in the building naturally this was a job for me. Getting organised was the first step, deciding what we where going to do then making sure everyone knew what was going on and making sure it ran smoothly. The first date I booked in for everyone was our Christmas card photo shoot day, where we all dressed up as either Santa, Mrs Santa Clause, an elf, a Christmas tree or the Grinch! When we finally had an hour to spare during our busy printing schedule, we posed and had some fun during the process and in the end I had plenty of shoots to pick from for the Mediapoint Christmas cards.

For the Christmas cards we needed a DL size card (one sided), this size is generally the best for postage, and luckily enough we supply these ourselves. In regards to the design of the cards I simply just wanted it to be festive (hence the red colour) and to focus on the photo of the Mediapoint team in the front since we put so much effort in dressing up. After I finished the design for the card, it was not long after that I had 500 cards ready for me to hand write and ship out… Funny enough I got a small taste of what Santa really feels like every year dealing with all does names!

To our special supporters of Mediapoint we had a little surprise for them stuffed in their package. So this means that the packaging for the little gift had to be made presentable so I quickly wiped up a bow sticker design to wrap around the black box as a final touch to the gift box. Using our premium gloss sticker material, a contour cut was used for the sticker and for a faster turn around time they were made sheeted, this gave me an easier way of peeling them off the backing paper and applying each sticker to its own individual box. I was very pleased with the results and I was glade to hear that our special supporters appreciated the gesture and the thought.

Now as for the final touches, besides having to hand write 500 Christmas cards, because we wanted them to be personalised not simply a generic message, I also used eco friendly paper envelopes with a brown texture trough them as a contrast against the bright red card… Labelling, stamping and return addressing each envelope with both a personalised card and a Mediapoint calendar inside had to have been a team effort, however, I was simply glade to have gone through them all and finally have them all posted in time!

Over all being a printing business it was defiantly handy having my stickers printed as efficiently as I organised the Mediapoint Christmas cards and gifts for the year…

Defcredit (Defence Force Credit Union) came to us with a display problem. They needed to replace text on some already produced signage, as the finer details had changed. Rather than go through the hassle, expense and waste of purchasing brand new signage, they opted for a sticker solution.

What they required was a sticker rated for outdoors use, which would also cover up the previous design currently on display. This is where our 5 Year Stickers come in.

These are a high durability vinyl sticker rated for at least 5 years use outdoors, meaning that they are waterproof and UV resistant (won’t fade). They also designed to be a ‘block out’ material. A ‘block out’ material is completely opaque, and will prevent any image/pattern/colour underneath the sticker (ie. a previous design) from showing through.

Such a feature is tremendously useful if you’re looking to cover up text or images currently displayed. Even if the previous design is a solid black, and you’re applying a mostly white sticker on top, this material would completely ‘block out’ the black and display a stunning white.

This particular type of sticker is not a commonly known type of material, as most people are unaware of exactly what is out on the market. The printing industry can be rather vague, and we like to eliminate as much of that as possible here at Mediapoint. We ask you questions about how you’re going to use the products you plan to purchase, just to ensure that you get exactly the right type of product for your own unique situation.

There was also a time element involved, as they needed the stickers fairly urgently for dispersal to their offices right around Australia. We were able to meet their deadline, and ensure that their delivery schedule was still on track.

As these are more of a speciality product, we don’t have them listed on our website. For any information regarding this type of sticker, or other specific types of stickers, you’ll need to contact us directly for pricing and availability.

This entry is about a repeat Short Term Stickers customer of ours, Naturapetics.

There an Australian based company that specialises in natural pet and animal products. They frequently place orders on our Short Term Stickers for use in there packaging. They’re very satisfied with the high print and material quality that this sticker range offers.

Our Short Term Stickers are rated for at least a year’s use outdoors, meaning that they are waterproof and UV (fade) resistant. These stickers are ideal for short term or disposable applications, ranging from product packaging to promotional events.

Such a strong relationship between Naturapetics and Mediapoint was acquired over time. Like many of our customers, they started off small and progressed with us as they grew confident with what we offered. They’re highly satisfied with the level of service and the quality of product which we consistently deliver.

For previous orders, they had asked us to measure and create a custom shape sticker especially for their products. They were after a sticker that would conform to and contour around a spray bottle. Due to the stickers unique shape, we would need to measure and design a template to house their design.

To first design the template, we needed to find out exactly what shape/size the sticker would be. We achieved this by applying a clear film onto the bottle, and tracing out the desired shape straight onto the film. The film was then removed and photographed, this gave us an accurate template for the design in a digital format.

Through use of this template, we modified their design to conform to the new contour shaped sticker.  We then sent the finalised design back to Naturapetics for approval, which they were absolutely thrilled with. We later began production on their stickers and they were very pleased with the result.

They required a large volume of safety stickers for use on various projects. After some discussion about the various types of stickers we produced, they decided to go ahead with our Short Term Stickers.

Our Short Term Stickers are made with durable vinyl material rated for at least a single years use outdoors, meaning that they are rated to be waterproof and UV(fade) resistant for at least a year.

This type of sticker offers fantastic durability at a very cost effective price. These stickers are generally used for short term or disposal applications or easy going environments where they won’t take a thrashing. We also have a wide range of highly durable and long lasting stickers  not currently listed on our website, please contact us on the below email address with any queries.

JTAs original designs presented a small hurdle, as they weren’t of a printable quality. However we were more than able to completely recreate their designs to give the sharpest possible digital print.

They also needed some editing of their original designs, which we were only too happy to do.

After some back and forth with proofs (as we work out all the kinks), they were thoroughly impressed with the designs and gave us approval to begin production.

For a large order such as theirs, we printed and shipped a sample for further approval before we began printing the full amount. This is just to ensure that everything comes out as expected, and that customer knows exactly how the full amount will turn out.

The printing industry is generally quite vague and can be somewhat confusing, and we like to eliminate as much of that as possible here at Mediapoint.

Upon receiving the sample, they were quite impressed with the result and gave us approval to begin production on the full amount. We then produced the full order, and shipped them out to one happy customer.

Aquarium Supermarket had a fairly good image in their mind on what they wanted for their shop front, basically all they had in mind was to have a solid sticker to cover the glass windows in the front, but I thought that this would darken the inside of the shop too much and block the natural light. Being a pet store with animals inside I didn’t think that was appropriate. So I came up with the idea of mixing the sticker materials and contour cutting around the animals as the feature on the front windows. As we presented the idea to the client by showing them an exact mockup of how it would look like, where things would go and using what material where, Aquarium Supermarket were very quick to approve the design and appreciated the advice and well presented idea.

We used a 5 year sticker material for the solid animal cut outs and to make the animals stand out from the plain glass I added etch material behind them to soften the print feature. By simply having the animals cut out in a contour cut, this only covered parts of the window and the etch material, not being a solid block out material, let the light from the outside come through into the store easily.

Over all the client was very pleased with the end result, as our installer applied the stickers, having a proper guide to where everything went the final product was of high quality. Aquarium Supermarket and Pet Warehouse were so pleased with our service that they returned to us to produce stationary for their business.

Wall stickers are a great way to decorate a number of spaces.

For showrooms a specific wall graphic can bring your eye to a part of a room. This can direct your customer to a certain product or even give them some information about the specific product.

In a store wall graphics are a great way to direct customers. You can let them know what products are around and where to go. This eliminates the need for them to wait around for a store clerk.

In play areas or where kids hang out, these stickers can turn a room into a whole heap of fun. Simply by adding some colour with characters can change the feel of a room.

In this case for Georgia On My Mind these graphics were being used for an exhibition.  The great thing about this is our prints were able to really transform their stand. Also with the added benefit of the graphics being easy to remove really made this a suitable option.

The great thing about choosing Mediapoint is that we have a combinations of great products and a great service. In regards to our products we have two types.

The first type is a removable vinyl stock. This is used in more permanent situations and the glue is removable within 12 months. This material can also easily be cut to any shape and size. The other type is a totally reusable wall fabric material. This material is great for customers wanting to easily move their wall graphics over time. Graphics can simply be peel and stuck time and time again.

The great thing about wall graphics is we can print as many colours as you like on the graphics. Also sizing is not an issue as prints can be tiled together to make a larger graphic. However for larger panels we recommend getting an installer to stick this up as alignment can be difficult for a novice.

When applying panels, graphics must not be placed onto the wall unless pressure is applied making it firm without any bubbles.

One of the issues with wall graphics is that they are applied to teflon walls, they cannot stick to surfaces which have teflon in them. If a painted wall has teflon in it, after a few weeks the graphic will peel off. This is as teflon has a natural tendency to not want anything to stock it. The only other option when this happens is to use a more permanent solution. As such we have a material designed to stick to concrete and high energy surfaces. However this will damage paint on removal so is only recommended in extreme circumstances.

For more information on wall stickers please check out our page. If you would like a quote with installation please email us via our contact page. We have great turnaround times and can ship to anywhere in Australia. We can also batch your order with other items and give you a great rate on your whole project. We also have in-house design services so we can handle every aspect of your job.
