tiktektak:
Were do you put those on Jaguar carts? Afair those have a rounded kind of end...

MasterJSP:
Where can one find the appropriate stickers to print these beauties out on?

UncleBob:
Great news, guys. I've been talking to shenske and mrbigreddog behind the scenes. mrbigreddog is going to stop by the forums here and see if the two of them cannot hash out a complete set of N64 end labels. The plan, if Snowcone/the community is cool with them being hosted here is to host the labels here for free download, but still be able to order the high quality labels from mrbigreddog if you are interested in them from his service. This way, if you order the labels from him, you truly are only paying for his materials and time - otherwise, you can just download 'em and print 'em yourselves.

mrbigreddog has obviously already shown some skill when it comes to this kind of thing, so I do hope that he sticks around with the community and, perhaps, churns out some other covers while he's here.

mrbigreddog:
Thank you UncleBob for that introduction... Alright guys! Lets set the record straight!

The sample N64 labels that you see were for one customer who asked about N64 end labels and pointed me to TCP for the artwork. I didn't think it would be a big deal since the artwork is free and a obviously a great resource for high quality scans and artwork. Now, not knowing that what I was taking was anything more than just a scan of the original box (which I found out it's not) I didn't think there would be any problems.

Now that I know this, I've been creating my own new artwork for the end labels, still borrowing the artwork from TCP but not just copy and pasting the box edge designs. (Which wasn't entirely true anyways, but that's old news)

Now I need your help to finish the project, and more to come, but there are some specifics that I want to keep for the design, and also they will need to be a specific size and need a bleed for the die cut. I will get all this information to you guys tomorrow.

But here is a sample of what I've been doing so far!

Neither of these are full resolution. And I'm using a vector program (sign specific Flexisign) to design these in. But I can export these as any file format and at any resolution.

Okay, also more information on the printing of these labels..

Printer: HP Designjet 9000 54"
Vinyl: 3M IJ35 with Air Agress adhesive (which helps with application, no bubbles because of micro channels in the adhesive)
Lamination: 54" Hot/Cold laminator and 3M lamination
Die Cut: 54" Graphtec Plotter (part of the printing process is crop marks, where this plotter reads the crop marks and diecuts all decals perfectly)

Also some customer feedback who have already received labels from me can be found here.

If there are any other question please don't hesitate to ask!
