RickJames Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hey guys, I need to start putting a logo on my lure blades. Ive seen blades(#10) with the companies logo painted on the blade. It almost seems like a powder coat because it extremely tough. Do you know how they do this or where you can have it done? Also, Im lookin for .040 blades at a decent price. Stamina wants $1.50 a peice. Is that a normal or expected price to pay? It would be nice to be able to order them with your logo already stamped on the blade.. Thanks for any suggestions, Rick M.

RickJames Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thanks guys, I called lakeland. I need to purchase atleat 250 blades if I want a logo stamped.. Its seems to be VERY costly. Unless of course you order 5,000+ blades at like $1.00 apeice. Alittle out of my budget that I wanted to spend. Seems like a great company that does do nice work though! Maybe down the road I can order from them;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickJames Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 That was for the stamped ink I believe. From my understanding, they will not stamp anything less than 250 peices at $2 a blade plus whatever the stamp cost per peice. $35 charge to make the stamp (understandable) and it is good up to 20,000 peices. Sound right to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Grump Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 This is just a S.W.A.G. - and totally off the top of my head... Could you go to a old fashioned newspaper shop, and get them to make you a rubber stamp, and then use it and a ink pad to put your logo on your blades yourself? There are lots of differant color stamp pads out there - my wife is 'stamper' (makes greeting cards), and she has more colors than I'd care to count.... You wouldn't pay all that much for the stamp, and you could use any rubber stamp (ie the old fashioned date stamps that library's used, a 'pay to the order of', etc) to 'proof' the idea first...

dangercat Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 How about DIY silk screening? It doesn't look like it would be that hard to build a jig that holds four or five blades and would allow one to silkscreen them all at once. A single color would be a snap. I've also read there are epoxy-based inks that can be used for silk screening. Here's a link to an article that shows the basic steps of silk screening. Cheers!
