Stickers? Not for the iPod Nano!

I have been encouraged to offer Shufflesome designs for the iPod Nano as well. That won´t happen. I conducted some research into materials and print technologies. The choices i have found do not match up to the kind of sticker that i envisage.

You´ll find some Nano skins by other companies reviewed by iLounge. However none oft those i noticed are actually made to please. Being quick on the market with anything is not good enough in my view. Although i acknowlede that Shufflesome sticker editions have improved over time, i won´t even start this process anew for stickers for the iPod Nano, since printing on white vinyl would be bad compromise.

A sticker for the iPod Nano should be transparent, because the iPod Nano display should be covered by the sticker. The rest of the iPod Nano´s front side would offer surface to create a design for. The ideal sticker then should feature a transparent square that fits onto the display, while the rest of the sticker is covered by the design. Those parts that are not designed should be transparent or white.

Do you find this out there?

Do you find a printer who is able to produce such a sticker?
If yes, contact me and i´ll gladly help to serve the designs.

The challenge is not just to find good material and the right technology. The main challenge is to find people who are good at handling both, and whose business allows for small lot sizes. Anyone who tells you it is easy to find the right printing partner - or, why don´t you go to Asia, is probably a mediocre advisor.

I do not doubt that it is possible. But i´ll stop research here. If you see this as an opportunity to find a solution, i hope you´ll be able to surprise! People have been asking for stickers for the iPod Nano.
