Custom Die-Cut Stickers for Farmingville, New York

How many decals does a team manager in Farmingville have to order before the pricing starts working in their favor? Fewer than most people assume. An order qualifies at ten or more pieces, or at ten dollars of merchandise, whichever comes first, and the per square inch rate takes its first step down at twenty five pieces. A roster plus a couple of spares already clears both of those bars. What follows is what that looks like in actual dollars, worked on the kind of small decal a team manager tends to ask for.

Where the price actually moves

Die-cut stickers are priced per square inch, and the rate falls as the count goes up. It is 35 cents per square inch from 1 to 24 pieces, 30 cents from 25 to 49, 28 cents from 50 to 99, 26 cents from 100 to 249, 24 cents from 250 to 499, and 22 cents at 500. There is no separate tier for shape or for the number of colors in the art. The two things that set your number are how big one sticker is and how many of them you want.

That structure has a quirk worth knowing before you settle on a count. Because the whole order moves onto the lower rate once you cross a band edge, ordering one piece more can cost less than ordering one piece fewer. It is not a rounding error. It is the band doing exactly what it was built to do.

The arithmetic on a real decal

Take a sticker 1.75 inches by 2.75 inches. That is 4.8125 square inches. At 24 pieces you are still inside the first band, so the rate is 35 cents and each sticker is $1.68. Twenty four of them come to $40.42.

Now add one. At 25 pieces the rate drops to 30 cents, the same 1.75 by 2.75 inch sticker becomes $1.44, and 25 of them total $36.09. You have added a sticker and the bill has gone down. If your count is sitting just under a band edge, look at the edge before you place the order.

Shape, and why it does not appear in the price

A die-cut sticker is cut to the outline of the art rather than left as a square, so a shield, a circle, a pennant and a mascot silhouette all end up as their own shape. None of that shows up as a surcharge. The rate is tied to the square inch figure and the piece count, and nothing else is layered on top.

What the shape does affect is the size you should ask for. A tall, narrow design and a wide, squat one can read very differently at the same square inch count, so it is worth holding a ruler up to the surface you have in mind before you commit to dimensions. Once the inches are decided, the cost follows mechanically.

Two neighbors sitting at the same distance

Farmingville is 19.1 miles east of the shop, in Suffolk County, ZIP 11738. What is mildly odd about the surrounding map is that two of the places we also cover, Holtsville and Selden, are both exactly 2.2 miles away. Medford is 2.7 miles out, Coram 3.1, Centereach 3.2. All of those are straight line figures, not road measurements.

There is a practical reason that matters. A roster is rarely confined to one ZIP code, and people ask whether an order spread across those names is treated differently. It is not. Pricing is per square inch by quantity, and where the box is headed never touches the rate.

What we need before anything is cut

Send the artwork you have. A team logo that only exists on a jersey, a screenshot pulled off a league page, a file a parent put together seasons ago: send it, and we will tell you whether it holds up at the size you are after. If it does not, we will say so rather than cut it anyway.

Give us the size in inches, not "medium" or "helmet sized". The square inch figure is what drives the price, so a decision about dimensions is a decision about cost. If you are torn between two sizes, ask for both numbers and set them against your count.

The minimum, and what it is not

Ten pieces or ten dollars of merchandise, whichever you reach first. That is a qualifying threshold, not a price floor, which means a small run is priced by the same per square inch rule as a large one. Nobody is padding an order to hit an arbitrary figure.

Collecting or shipping

Everything is printed and cut at 205 East Main Street in Huntington, and local pickup there is free. Otherwise orders ship anywhere in the United States, and checkout works without an account.

Four people who usually place this order

The team manager. You are holding a roster, a budget somebody else approved, and a logo of uncertain origin. Work it backwards: pick the size, get the square inch figure, multiply by the rate for your band, and hand the total to whoever signs off.

The parent who volunteered. You did not ask for this job. The shortest route through it is a size in inches and a piece count, because everything else falls out of those two numbers.

The coach adding a second batch. If you are topping up an earlier run, ask us how the new count is treated before you assume the lower rate carries over from the first one. It is a one line answer and it can change what you order.

The league treasurer. Several teams, several logos, one budget. The bands reward a consolidated count, so it is worth finding out whether the teams can agree on a single size before anyone orders separately.

Questions we get asked

Our Farmingville team has 24 players. Should we order 24 decals or 25?

Order 25. At 24 pieces the rate is 35 cents, and a 1.75 by 2.75 inch sticker works out to $40.42 for the set. At 25 the rate drops to 30 cents and the same sticker brings the total to $36.09, for one more piece than you needed. The spare tends to get used.

Can a Farmingville order be collected at the shop instead of sent out?

Yes. Pickup at the Huntington storefront is free, and it is available on any order regardless of size or count.

Does the price change if our decals are going to Farmingville rather than

Holtsville or Selden?

No. Those two both sit 2.2 miles from you, and distance plays no part in the calculation anywhere. The rate comes from square inches and piece count, nothing else.

The only copy of our Farmingville team logo is a photo of last year's jersey. Is that something you can work from?

Sometimes. Send it through and we will look at it against the size you want, then tell you honestly whether it stands up or whether the art needs redrawing.

Our Farmingville order comes to 12 small decals. Does that qualify?

Yes. Twelve pieces is above the ten piece threshold, so the order qualifies on count alone. The ten dollar merchandise route is there for anyone whose piece count lands below that.
