    i tried to make one with CD sticker label. didn't turn out very well at all.
    I would love to know what kinds of papers/stickers people use, or if any one knew what kind of stickers have a similar texture to PDS outserts.
    I'm also not just talking about custom made ones, but what are some glittery stickers or band names that work?

    and what would i do to achieve the effect that is on the pen to the far left?


    please don't just say: print shop
    because i want to know what paper/sticker THEY would print on and the like.

    thanks

    My guess is Kinkos

    just get them to make you a sticker out of the insert measured to the correct length and width

    i think its from when you cover exercise books, shiny contact paper. You can find these in newsagencies in like... 2 meter rolls, loads of different colours can be found :]

    How about just printing it off on normal paper, then laminating (only on the front side) it with a little extra on the end, so that when it wraps it will go past the seam a little bit to hold it on.

    I think that should work. happy.gif

    what about REAL leik pds outserts? laminating makes the actual paper peel off. i think its like foilish kinda sticker paper

    I'll post my pds outsert on my RMC v2 in Show Off Your Pens, but I made mine just using printed insert/outsert and then used clear packaging tape. Leaving extra tape out on the length of the insert/outsert, to tape to the comssa body. Has same sheen as a normal PDS sticker, but different feel because it's not as thin.
