If you want die cut vinyl, give a vector file to a guy with a vinyl cutter, specify size and color, and have at it.
I have a vinyl cutter and a lot of vinyl and can give you a good price if you have a graphic.

The above graphic is what I have. Unsure how to change it to vector, I'm too far removed from the graphics world to remember such things.

Like 10 stickers or some kind of real quantity? I have been looking at https://www.stickerguy.com for my sticker needs, but I'm sure there's others around.

I'm not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but I just tried converting your picture to an .svg file with the PHP script at this URL:

The converted file is located here:

Let me know if that works.

Our local sign shop is usually pretty reasonable at cutting vinyl.

Anyone who can cut vinyl should be able to convert a line drawing like that to vector.
Looks like stickerguy.com is a good suggestion for a printed sticker - I'll keep that one on file. Thanks David!

There's a guy on this board who does vinyl in Wisconsin. Can't think of his name but he had a bunch of DSM's a while back. I'll dig up some old emails soon.

I've dealt with stickerguy before. His service is great, but the quality is a little chincy.
I found this place: http://stickerobot.com/ but I haven't actually ordered from them yet. Supposedly the quality is great in comparison.

I have some samples from Sticker Robot, and they're nice. Sticker Robot seemed a little more expensive, though. How cheap were the Stickerguy stickers? Do you think they'd weather well?

I own a business making custom signs and stickers, if you are still looking for somebody to make those stickers I would be happy to. Send me a PM or e-mail me slidemylexus@hotmail.com

I'm going to make some alterations to the rat and then I'll be contacting various groups and I'll post what I get in response.

This guy does all my race car work and is working on doing a custom checkage flag stripe on my f350. He uses only the best vinyl. Never had a fade ishue with his stuff.

Stickerguy did some band stickers for some friends about 6 years ago. I still see them on car bumpers, guitar cases...ect. They hold up very well!

Know someone with a Cricut machine?
Buy some vinyl and figure out how to use the machine and you can go crazy with making diecut stixxors :)

I'm from Wisconsin and once owned a DSM and have a vinyl cutting equipment - could be me. I can convert your file to vector line art and cut decals. Let me know the size, quantity, and color. Email me at Lenhart06@yahoo.com
