[Amps] Amp faceplates

[Will Matney]

Pete,

I'd have hardly any overhead in these the way it stands. The only thing would take some time is the CAD layout for the whole 8-1/2 x 11 label sheet(s). The Damark sheets are about 1/2 that size and generally have two in a pack. With this, I can get it out as one sheet or two doubling the amount of labels for use. The only problem would be white text as this is not set up to do that. Any color but white. To start though, black labels would be all I'd offer like Damark unless color would be asked for a lot. The sell price would be about $5.00 per 8-1/2 x 11 sheet. That's a little less than Damark.

I can get the materials to make rub ons, and decals but they dont hold up as good. Plus, you have to coat them with a clear poly after they're applied same as Damark.

Best,

Will
