Custom Die-Cut Stickers for Jericho, New York

Asset Labels for the Trades

A contractor who has just spent a morning hunting for a borrowed impact driver usually wants one specific thing: a printed label on every piece of kit that says whose it is, which crew carries it, and where it goes back to at the end of the day. That want turns into a list. Van doors. Tool cases. Generators, compressors, extension reels, ladder stiles, the job box, the hard case with the survey gear in it. Different sizes, different shapes, one look across the whole lot. This page is written for the person putting that run together and sending it to a Jericho address.

Everything we sell is printed and cut to shape at one storefront, 205 East Main Street in Huntington, New York.

Orders here travel on the street address

We hold no ZIP code on file for the town, so nothing in your order is keyed to one. That is less of a problem than it sounds, because a shipping label has never needed our records to agree with it. What it does mean is that the street line is doing all of the work, and it is worth a second look before you check out.

Write the number and street exactly as mail already reaches you. If you work out of a yard with a gate number, or a unit inside a larger building, put that on the second line rather than tucking it into the first. Add the county, Nassau County, if your own paperwork uses it. Then check the state. New York is the field people skip, and it is the one that matters most when a street name is common.

If your office and your yard are different buildings, send the labels to whichever one has somebody who can sign for a box. For a trade business that is usually the yard, not the office.

Working out what a run of labels costs

Die-cut stickers are priced by area, so the first thing to do is multiply. A label three inches wide by three inches tall is nine square inches. That number, not the shape, is what the price is built on. A long thin label and a square one of the same area cost the same.

The rate per square inch then depends on how many you order. At 60 pieces the rate is 28 cents. Nine square inches at 28 cents is $2.52 for one label, and 60 of them come to $151.20.

Where the rate steps down

The bands run like this. One to 24 pieces is 35 cents per square inch. 25 to 49 is 30 cents. 50 to 99 is 28 cents. 100 to 249 is 26 cents. 250 to 499 is 24 cents. At 500 the rate is 22 cents.

The steps are worth planning around. Take the same three by three inch label and push the count from 60 up to 100, and the rate drops from 28 cents to 26. Each label falls from $2.52 to $2.34, and the hundred comes to $234.00. You pay more in total, because you bought 40 more labels, but every one of them is cheaper and you have spares in the drawer for the next tool that arrives.

There is a minimum, and it is a low bar. An order qualifies at 10 or more pieces or at $10 of merchandise, whichever it reaches first. It is not a price floor and it is not a fee. It is simply the point at which an order can be placed.

Getting the cut shape right

A die-cut sticker is cut around the artwork rather than left on a rectangle, so the outline is part of the design. Send the art at the size you want it printed and leave a little breathing room around the edge of the shape. We draw the cut line. If you want it to follow a logo silhouette exactly, say so, and if you want a simple rounded rectangle around everything, say that instead.

Two things catch people out on equipment labels. Small serial text set very light on a pale background is hard to read once it is on a dusty machine, so push the contrast further than looks necessary on screen. And if every label carries a different number, send the numbers as a plain list alongside the artwork rather than as 60 separate files.

Collecting, or having a box sent

Jericho sits 10.1 miles south west of the shop counter, measured as a straight line rather than as a route. Hicksville is 1.4 miles away, New Cassel is 2.1, Muttontown is 2.5, and Syosset and Old Westbury are both 2.9. We cover all of them, so a crew working across several of those places can sensibly put one order together.

Local pickup at the counter in Huntington is free. Otherwise the box ships, and we ship within the United States.

Four ways this comes up

An electrical contractor numbering panels and portable equipment. The labels carry a company name, a phone number and an asset number, and they go on things that leave the van and come back. Consistency matters more than size here, which is why a single square format repeated across everything tends to win.

A landscaping crew marking mowers, blowers and trimmers. Machines get lent between crews and end up in the wrong truck. A colour-coded label per crew, same artwork, different background, sorts most of that out without anybody having to read anything.

An HVAC outfit putting door numbers on a fleet. Small runs, repeated. This is the case where buying into the next band and holding spares makes obvious sense, because vehicle four will eventually need a replacement and you already have it.

A plant and tool hire operation labelling stock that goes out on loan. Every item needs the same return information, and new stock arrives in ones and twos. One larger order beats a dozen small ones, both on rate and on keeping the artwork identical.

Questions we get asked

Can I place a Jericho order if there is no ZIP code shown for the town?

Yes. Enter the street address, the state and, if you use it, the county. The address line is what the carrier reads, and it does not depend on anything held in our own records.

What would 60 of the three by three inch van labels cost delivered to Jericho?

Sixty pieces sits in the 50 to 99 band at 28 cents per square inch. Nine square inches works out to $2.52 each, so the sixty come to $151.20 for the labels themselves.

Our yard is nearer Hicksville than the middle of Jericho. Does that change the order?

Not at all. We cover both, and the rate is the same either way. Use whichever address the box should actually arrive at.

Can I combine a Jericho job and a Syosset job into one order?

If both lots ship to the same address, yes, and the combined count may push you into a better rate band. If they need to go to two separate addresses, place them as two orders.

We need eight asset tags for one Jericho van fit-out. Is that enough to order?

Possibly. The minimum is met at 10 pieces or at $10 of merchandise, whichever comes first, so eight tags of a reasonable size will usually clear the $10 side of it. If they are very small, adding two more is the simpler fix.
