The design doesn't have geocaching.com.au on it so it can be used for any type of cache you hide whether it be GCA, GC, TerraCache, OpenCache, etc. Hopefully this will mean bang for your buck. We have purposely only used the text CACHE DETAILS and a bunch of line so you can fill in the necessary details as you see fit. e.g. Name of the cache, your name and contact details. This also means when you cut the sticker down, CACHE DETAILS is still meaningful and you can choose what details to fill in.
The design of the sticker is such that it will fit onto a 1, 2 or 3 litre sistema in full size. This is the typical "regular" cache. If you trim off the map of Australia to the right and a few lines of text it will fit onto a 400ml or 200ml sistema. These are the typical "small" caches. If you trim off few more lines (leaving just 2 lines for the cache details), but leaving the Australian map, it wraps around a 35mm film canister. I am not quite sure whether it will work for an eclipse tin, but I reckon it would be close.
These are examples using full size mockup stickers.
The sticker is physically 76mm x 102mm. This is the same size as an A7 piece of paper or typical small Spirax logbook. To get the dimensions, grab a piece of A4 paper, fold it in half down the longest edge. This is now A5. Fold it again down the new longest edge and you have A6. Fold it once more down the longest edge and you have A7.
They will be printed using the same technique used for bumper stickers. This means that it is plastic coated to maximise outdoor use. This does mean that you will need to use a fine tipped permanent marker to write on the sticker then leave it to dry. Pens do not work well as the ink doesn't flow onto the plastic coating very well. CD and DVD markers work as long as you leave it to dry before use. I haven't tested a fine tip Pentel type marker, but I expect as long as it's permanent and you leave it to dry it should work OK.
It is likely that there will be a bleed area around the sticker which will remain white so it is most likely not going to be green to the very edges although that it to be determined.
The cost of the stickers would likely be around the $1.00 each mark with all profits going back to GCA.
What do you think of the design?
Can it be improved?
What elements would you like keeping in mind that cutting the sticker down to various sizes is key to the design?
Is $1.00 too much?
If you think the price is too high, what do you think is reasonable?
Your feedback on this item is important to me in that we don't want to spend money on things you wouldn't find useful.
