TQ Tag dah siap!

yesterday masa lunch time, smpat lari pegi collect my TQ tags
supposedly, i went n picked it up khamis ptg, after office
but, smlm g jumpe myPerson
sbb dia nk pas camera
dpt jumpe sekejap je
tapi seronok! hahhaha
poyo betol!

anyhoo, yesterday g Becon
yeap, i print my TQ tags kt sana
for org JB, kedai ni betol² opposite Celcom yg kt Jln Kempas Baru tu
mmg dkat sgt la ngan my workplace

I'm not sure kedai printing lain
sbb mmg tak survey pon
tp i ade pernah suvery
utk buat TQ tags/sticker, kalau siap potong,
they'll charge 20-40 cents EACH!
so for me yg nak 1000pcs ni, kene 200-400 ringgit
mahal tu

tu yg i mmg terus scratch off from list

dtg la konon idea nk rubberstamp je each n every 1000 pcs tu
then baru gunting kecik²

tapi i ade cube stamp² pakai office punye,

n pakai ink purple yg i beli aritu
the outcome - sememeh...tak clear...and bit tedious
maybe its my hand laa kot

so no to rubberstamp

taktau la ape aku nk buat dgn stamp pad colour purple tu..haihhhh


oh yeah. i beli stamp pad tu pon kt Becon
nak buat rubberstamp pon bole kt situ
for 5 x 4 cm, they charge 6 hinggit tak silap
pretty cheap eyh

btw, after much deliberation of nk print sendiri or hantar kedai,
i decided to hantar kedai
sebab: ink kt umah tu mcm tak cukup je
and tak bape cantik laaa hasilnye
nampak satu² garisan
ye laaa..dh pakai bubble jet printer je kan

so hantar la kedai
n as i said, i chose Becon
harga dia? ok, camni
kalau black and white, per A4, dia charge 40 cents per A4
if coloured, 80 cents per A4
so kalau nk jimat, buat la TQ tag tu kecik²
so that u can fit more tags in a piece of A4

as for mine, the measurement of each tag is 4cm x 5cm
so sekeping A4 dpt 24 keping tags
in total, I need about 42 A4 printouts
overall I kene charged 33.60 for the printing
sgt murah berbanding 200 kan?!

oh oh
pasal kertas pulak
kalau pakai kertas yg dia sediakan,
its kinda expensive
tak silap its 220gm punye kertas
something like business card punye material la
mmg la nmpak cantik
harga pon cantik
dia kira 2.50 sekeping A4 (dats for kertas + colour printing)
mahal!

so i decided tu pilih from rims of papers they sell at their store
tak byk sgt choice
tapi i settled with a 157gm art paper A4

its white, n a bit glossy
its a cheaper, and lighter version of the business card material tu
i get it at 13 ringgit for 100pcs
which is like 13 cents per piece
so mmg lbh baik i maik paper ni
total per piece kertas + printing = 93 cents
nk banding dgn 2.50 tu..mmg jauh bezanye
so to all, please keep your options open!
byk u boleh save from there

btw, since i only need 42 pcs je,
i mintak dia jual half to me
unfortunately, diorg tak boleh unpack bende tu
so amik je la all 100

and now, i'm putting on my thinking helmet
trying to figure what I could do with the leftovers
ade lagi 58 pcs ni
hurmmmmm

n mase lunchtime smlm jugak, dh siap potong²
pakai cutter ofis. ngeh!
i potong memanjang je dulu
nnt blk, bhgn pendek tu, bole pakai gunting je

let's see how many night shall i take
to finish out this 1000 pcs of TQ tags
:)
