Custom Die-Cut Stickers for Cedarhurst, New York

Forty decals at two and a half inches square come to $75.00, and fifty of the very same decal come to $87.50. That is the whole of the arithmetic behind a team sized run. A 2.5 by 2.5 inch die cut sticker is 6.25 square inches. At 40 pieces the rate is 30 cents per square inch, so each one lands at $1.88. Push the count to 50 and the rate falls to 28 cents, which makes the identical sticker $1.75 each and the run of fifty $87.50. The ten extra pieces add $12.50 to the bill and take thirteen cents off every decal in the box, spares included.

A manager putting in a decal order for a Cedarhurst youth sports team tends to run that sum twice. Once against the roster, and once against the pile of replacements somebody always asks for after the fact.

Paying by the square inch

We price die cut stickers on area rather than on a fixed catalogue price per design. Multiply the width by the height, then apply the rate that matches the piece count:

35 cents per square inch at 1 to 24 pieces

30 cents at 25 to 49 28 cents at 50 to 99 26 cents at 100 to 249 24 cents at 250 to 499 22 cents at 500

The rate your count qualifies for applies to every piece in the run, not only to the pieces above the line. That is why moving from 40 to 50 changes the unit price of all fifty rather than discounting the last ten. If a run holds two different sizes, each size carries its own square inch figure, while the band is read off the total number of pieces.

Ten pieces or ten dollars

An order qualifies at 10 or more pieces, or at $10 of merchandise, whichever comes first. It is a threshold, not a price floor. A squad ordering a dozen decals for the coaching staff clears it on count alone and still pays the 35 cent rate that its band calls for. A single large decal can clear it on value instead. Nothing gets rounded up to reach the line.

Half a mile to Lawrence

Lawrence is 0.5 miles away, which is a shorter gap than you will find between some addresses inside one ZIP code. Woodmere is 1.0 miles out, Inwood 1.4, Hewlett 2.1, and South Valley Stream 2.3. All of them are places we cover. For a decal run that matters in one practical way. A squad drawn from that cluster is, for ordering purposes, one group living within a couple of miles of each other, and there is no reason to break a Cedarhurst order into several smaller ones because some families sit on the far side of a boundary. Smaller orders land in worse bands, which is the only thing splitting a run reliably achieves.

The 24.8 miles between us

Cedarhurst sits 24.8 miles south west of the shop at 205 East Main Street in Huntington, measured as a straight line rather than as any route a person would actually take. Everything we sell is printed and cut at that one address, pickup there costs nothing, and orders otherwise go to addresses in the United States. Mail for the area runs through ZIP 11516 in Nassau County, and that is the field worth checking twice when a team order is being typed in by somebody who does not live at the delivery address.

From a logo to a cut line

A die cut sticker is cut to the outline of the artwork, which means the outline has to be something a blade or a beam can follow. Team logos usually reach us as a proper file from whoever produced the uniforms, as a screenshot lifted off a league page, or as a photograph of a jersey taken at an angle in bad light. Send whichever one you have. We will look at it and tell you whether the edge is clean enough to cut against or whether the mark needs redrawing into a definite shape first.

When every decal in the run is different

Numbers and surnames are the usual reason a team order stops being fifty copies of one thing. That changes nothing about the pricing. Fifty pieces is fifty pieces, so the run still reads into the 28 cent band whether it carries one design or fifty variations on one design. What it does change is proofing. A run of individual numbers needs a list, and the list needs to be right, because a decal cut with the wrong number is a decal for a player who is not on the team.

Four people who end up placing this order

The team manager. You are the one holding the roster, the spare sizes and the group chat, and the sum at the top of this page is the one you are being asked about. Round the count to the next band before you circulate a figure, because the per player number gets easier to defend.

The coach running two age groups. Two squads with the same crest and different numbers are one order, not two. Combining them moves the piece count up, and the piece count is the only thing the rate card looks at.

The parent who volunteered to handle it. You did not sign up to learn a pricing model. Width times height gives square inches, square inches times the rate gives the price of one decal, and the rate comes off the count. That is it.

The league volunteer covering several teams at once. If you are placing a Cedarhurst order that covers more than one squad, put the whole thing on one order and split the cost afterwards on a spreadsheet. The bands reward the larger count, and reconciling money between teams is easier than reconciling six separate orders.

Questions we get asked

Our Cedarhurst roster is 40 players. Is there any reason to order 50 decals instead? Yes, on price. Forty pieces fall in the 30 cent band at $1.88 each, which is $75.00. Fifty pieces fall in the 28 cent band at $1.75 each, which is $87.50. You spend $12.50 more, you get ten more decals, and every decal in the run costs less than it would have.

Half the squad's families are in Lawrence. Does a Cedarhurst order have to be split in two? No. Lawrence is 0.5 miles away, so this is one group by any sensible reading. Put it on a single order to one address, or collect it at the shop, and hand the decals out at practice.

Does a 12 piece Cedarhurst order for the coaching staff meet the minimum? Yes. The minimum is met at 10 or more pieces, so 12 clears it on count and the $10 merchandise route never comes into it. Twelve pieces sits in the 1 to 24 band at 35 cents per square inch.

The only team logo we have is a photo of an old jersey. Can a Cedarhurst order be built from that? Send it and we will tell you. A photograph of stitched fabric rarely gives an edge clean enough to cut against, so in most cases the mark has to be redrawn into a shape with a definite outline before a cut line exists.

What ZIP code should a Cedarhurst order be addressed to? 11516, in Nassau County, New York. If the squad is spread across the nearby places we cover, use the ZIP of the actual delivery address rather than the one attached to the team.
