500 - Digital Kiss-Cut Stickers at 1.25"

The DCS team is happy to be making stickers for the WXXI Kids Club! Even though they're all the way over on the eastern seaboard, we know the kids club will be brimming with excitement for some brand new stickers to slap all over their stuff.

Back in the 90's joining a kids club was a problematic affair. You had mail issues, fees, and parental permission to contend with. In the internet age it's just a tad easier and that mean accessibility coupled with stronger devotion. We hope the kids are as stoked as we are!

**DO NOT GO TO WWW. PIMPFACTORY.COM**

You will not find the apparel you're looking for. True Story. Experience speaks volumes.

However, feel free to head over to 826 Creations for all the Pimp Factory gear you can handle. Originally thought to be a factory that manufactures pimps, this line now possesses a significant cult following that is poised to explode with exponential growth.

Our production team is particularly stoked on the color choices. Our understanding of the pimp lifestyle is rudimentary and best left to those with swag and steez. We'll handle the vinyl.

Zipwhip

click image above for link

The infamous Z-Bubble, calling card of Zipwhip.

Zipwhip is cloud texting, duh. If you don't know what that is, please stand up, stretch it out, and join us here in the 21st Century. In all seriousness, cloud texting is basically the wireless tech version of several tin can strung together for communication purposes. With texting becoming an essential form of communication, this evolution is certainly a no-brainer.

We're stoked to be aiding in the marketing of Zipwhip by providing stickers but it spurred a thought about the evolution of the sticker in the modern era. GetGlue comes to mind as they utilize the sticker concept in an electronic form. Does that mean everything previously established will soon evolve into a digital version and organic reality as we know it will cease to exist?

Ahem...so cloud texting...get on board.

Zipwhip | Embrace the Cloud

For over 4 years Zipwhip has been laser focused on text messaging and the unique characteristics that have made it such a widely adopted medium. While billions of consumers globally have grown to embrace its functionality, a new problem has evolved—text messaging has become stuck inside the mobile device. Texting has become too important in people's lives to be the sole domain of a mobile phone, and that is why Zipwhip exists today. Zipwhip's text messaging cloud enables mobile subscribers to text from virtually any connected device with a fully synchronized experience to their main mobile number.

Flying Pig Performance Fly Rods

click image above when pigs fly

250 - Digital Die-cut Stickers at 3.25"

The Flying Pig is a classic piece of artwork that will become widely recognized for future flying fishing generations to come, there's no doubt about it. As far as identity and brand recognition goes, Flying Pig has their iconic status locked in.

From a sticker standpoint this is very much one of the most arresting graphics our team has ever seen in the digital printing department. Our hall of fame has a new addition.

Flying Pig's ideal of progression is an exciting and a huge asset to the fishing industry. It's exciting to see what new avenues this kind of attitude will open up for flying fishing technology and other facets. Make sure to check them out online for all the latest milestones!

Flying Pig | Doing the Impossible

Fly fishermen have only one goal. To push the boundaries of what we think is humanly possible in pursuit of the experience of a lifetime. The fly fisher is not one who is content with idly waiting for the moment, but rather one who is compelled to explore every nook and remote corner of the globe in pursuit of a lasting memory. It's not so much about the actual fish as it is about the journey. As beginners we take the first steps in what may take a lifetime to master. Along the way, if we push ourselves hard enough, we can gain exceptional knowledge of the sport, but perhaps most importantly a change in attitude becomes evident. We realize there is so much more to life than safety,and convention.

Some of us will inevitably choose to suppress these passions and wait for a moment in time when we are not so "busy " with lives tasks. Perhaps saving them for the day when pigs fly. Others of us have seen this elusive little creature, and realize that life is too short for excuses. The ones who live for a thrill, and find passion in every passing minute. The ones who have already encountered their pig on the wing. Dare to ask yourself in which camp you fall. You most certainly already know the answer.

PRESS RELEASE | Waste Reduction with Waste Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Diecutstickers.com Announces Community Partnership with Waste Management to Eliminate Vinyl Production Waste.

SEATTLE, Wash (March 19, 2012)­­­­ – After a longstanding battle with large waste output due to the unique trappings of the vinyl sticker production process, Seattle-based Diecutstickers.com has coordinated efforts with Waste Management to institute a recycling plan that will eliminate nearly all vinyl, plastic, and wax materials previously sent directly to landfills. Currently in action, this initiative is a targeted effort to undo damage left by the byproducts of an industry marred by large trash runoff.

Diecutstickers.com was founded in 2002 and has since grown from a one-man basement operation to a flourishing sticker manufacturer with thousands of clients globally and locally. Unprecedented rapid success and growth has triggered a broader awareness and responsibility in President and Founder Daniel Diederichs who has made it his aim to wash away the stigma and negative environmental presence currently associated with his participation in the vinyl industry.

“It’s been a long time in the making but I am thrilled and quite proud to announce that Diecutstickers.com has become a community partner with Waste Management. We are now able to recycle nearly all of our production waste,” said Mr. Diederichs. “In an industry known for being chronic landfill abusers, we are very excited to now be able to act on our Green Thinking and execute a program that helps us minimize our landfill waste and help us secure the legacy of our business, the environment and generations to come.”

With an 8-cubic yard container and pickups twice monthly, the Diecustickers.com production staff is happy to see their garbage heading out at a faster pace and on a path to be reused. As a whole Diecutstickers.com will continue to raise awareness and encourage others in their industry to take ownership by instituting change toward greener process removing landfills from the vinyl equation.

About: Diecutstickers.com has slowly grown into the premier vinyl die-cut sticker manufacturer. With over 3,000 clients in 10 countries, including Nike, Pepsi, Spin Magazine, and Krochet Kids International, we take great pride in servicing each and every client as if they were family. No job is too big or too small for us and we have expanded our technical resources to include full-color die-cuts, screen-print stickers, banners and full or partial vehicle/trailer wraps.

HK Army

10,000 - Two Color Screen-Print Stickers at 6.69"

Prior to a life of humble and quiet sticker-making, the DCS team was actually a tactical special-forces squad operating deep in the jungles of South America. During a rather routine rescue mission we encountered a never-before-seen enemy that hunted us for sport and camouflaged itself by bending light via alien technology. Taking it down was quite a task and after that little road bump we decided to resign ourselves to a low key life of stickering.

HK Army is diligently providing mercenaries and their homies with stylish and sassy apparel in a new age. This speaks to the nostalgia in our hearts but is also very progressive. Much respect to the brand and much love for a wonderful continued business relationship! Cheers!

High Cascade Snowboard Camp

click image above to improve your life

Over 15,000 screen-printed stickers. Seriously.

A truly heartbreaking and sobering realization just tumbled down like an avalanche: we're too old to enroll at High Cascade Snowboard Camp.

Now what? Life seems to have lost all the luster and magic. I suppose we could continue banging out stickers to show our undying love and support. Then we'll whisk ourselves away to the dark corners of the mountain and struggle to keep our snow legs as our aging physiques continually let us down.

Nah. We'll be fine.

Thanks to HCSC for another great order! DCS stays in business, yahoo!

HCSC | Guiding Principals

We are proud of the fact that everything we do as a camp, as a business, as a community member, and as an employer is to improve the lives of those around us.

Legend has it that there was an incident where Dolph Lundgren's house was being invaded by some brash hooligans who intended to pilfer all the valuables inside. Upon seeing a photo of Dolph smiling with his family they immediately evacuated the premises without a single solitary object.

In the Grand Scheme of things, a story like that is genuinely sobering.

DCS recently kicked out some custom wall pieces for a collaborama between Casual Industrees and The Foggy Goggle drinking establishment at Stevens Pass. As you can see from these modest photos, the 3M vinyl prints mounted on Gator Board are quite stunning outfitted on the finished timber walls of the bar. These triptychs certainly add a touch of class and celebrate the intense passion of the snow lifestyle and Pacific Northwest Pride.

The point of this is always: WE WANT MORE WORK LIKE THIS. Our capacity for art and interior design is pretty large. Stickers remain our foundation, base layer, bullet proof vest, and nest egg but expansion and evolution lies in fresh and unique challenges. SO, if you are indeed reading this, tell your friends and colleagues to cook up some high concept projects and send them POST-HASTE to Diecustickers.com.
