Does this sticker print out at original size? Grumbleduke's Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story label has different dimensions.

Yep, I've got it formatted to the same size as the original stickers: width 7.4 cm by 6.8 cm height at 300 dpi.  Not sure if that's kept when I upload them, it might convert it to 72dpi and larger dimensions.  If that happens though and you open it in PS you can change the dimensions and it won't look any different, but will print the right size.

Yep I've had one of them printed out and it looks perfect.  I didn't print it myself because I don't have any way to print on vinyl, but I had a guy print it out for me and it looks perfect.  I'll take a pic when I get a chance and post it up.  If you want I can send you the template I made for the stickers, it'll save you some time.

The template would be nice. I could always make my own template really fast for it too, it seems pretty simple

Here you go, the template.  It's pretty simple, but saves a lot of time.

This is how they look printed.  I actually modified the stripe colours since that one was made, so you get a better colour range between the stripes.  (Used the same reds from your Genesis template).

I had some extra copies of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 and both had bad labels. I decided to replace the labels with custom versions closer to the styling of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. I think it came out well and no harm because i already have extra copies of the games in my collection with the retail labels.  Thanks to djshock for the label template. I switched some stuff around and changed the red strip color but the dimensions helped out greatly!  If anyone has any interest in the labels just let me know and i can up them to the site.

Sonic the Hedgehog 1 - 3 (1 & 2 have custom labels)

Actually i get it printed at Office Max on their label/sticker paper for $0.89 a sheet.  I printed off 9 labels with plenty of space left over on the sheet.  I'll try and get the two labels up in the next day or two  :)

EDIT:
They are uploaded now

Thanks a lot bro-namath.
