Using the Sticker Machine for General Labels

 One of the local groups that we are working with is the local people who are opening a new Wharekai (Kitchen/Dining Area) as part of their Marae.   As part of this we have been looking for opportunities in how we might use our technology and share the projects and share the ideas, resources and what we can make with others.

This use of the sticker machine fits several of those criteria.  We have allowed others to design projects to encourage them to engage in the school.  In this case these labels while straightforward and would be used typically as labelling for material at the site.   We would be confident once the vinyl was applied to the resource that it would not fall off or weather, even if it is exposed to water.   We can point to the outside poster which has remained outside for over a year without any weather damage.

The stickers were printed 70mm by 50mm and were designed using Pic Collage.   The designs were then imported into the software that is part of the machine, and printed via the LCD panel with the software that was part of the machine purchase.

The machine has a variety of medium to print on including t-shirt transfers.

The print time for a sheet this size was just over twenty five minutes, which would be standard for a sheet of this size.
