Posted on by USCutter

Followers of the cult of the pigskin, read on.

Here is the inside scoop on all the right colors you need to make your own pro football swag. Team USCutter did the research and matched the team colors of all the pro football teams to 4 lines of our vinyl for signs and custom apparel: Siser EasyWeed heat transfer vinyl, Oracal 631 Indoor Wall Vinyl, Oracal 651 Outdoor Sign Vinyl, and GreenStar low cost outdoor vinyl. Check out these two infographics where the team colors are broken down by conference (American and National), color, and the vinyl variety needed for your application.

Not enough? Well, how about we pre-assemble those vinyl colors into handy bundles for you (click here to see the teams we have so far-MORE ARE ON THE WAY!!!) at an extremely economical price point (between $25 and $50 depending on the vinyl and length you choose), and all you have to do is pick the option you want and add it to your cart. Easily get all the material you need for jobs ranging from decorating an ornate man-cave or local bar, to fashioning the jerseys, scarves, hats and other custom apparel your customers need for their Fantasy draft parties!

Sublimations Under Glass: A Business Case for Sublimated Vinyl Menus under Glass Tabletops in Dining Areas

Posted on by USCutter

In a previous episode, we saw the beautiful potential of dye-sub printing onto GreenStar Clear Adhesive Vinyl for decorations behind or under glass.

In this episode, we’re looking for a few good entrepreneurs for our sublimation shark tank. We’ll even provide the idea.

This video shows you all the steps, and details all the materials and equipment you’ll need (click here for the bundle available now!), for the process of printing vinyl menus to be placed under glass or on outward-facing windows.

The benefit of sublimation-printed vinyl menus?

They’re indestructible. They’re covered by glass. They look great. Watch the video and look at the pictures. They’re cheap-we did the math and one menu costs 40 cents. You can put games on it and draw on them, then erase it away. It’s easily removable without residue. You can change them out every week with new menu items, at a fraction of the cost of printing a new batch of traditional paper menus.

There’s the pitch. It’s your move now.

THE CURIO IS COMING: Unlock your Crafting Superpowers with the Cameo’s New Trusty Sidekick

Posted on by USCutter

New, from the same folks who brought you crafting action heroes like the Silhouette Cameo and Portrait, meet Curio (projected to be available August 2015 – available for pre-order at USCutter NOW!). This all-purpose crafting tool does everything but fight crime.

Add some new moves to your super-crafter toolbelt like paper embossing, metal etching, leather stippling, deep cutting of foam and vinyl, and scoring. The new Curio can do everything the Cameo can, but it is not as versatile a cutter. It won’t accept materials larger than 8.5” x 12” with the base upgrade option, whereas the Cameo will cut a width of 12” by a 10 foot roll.

The Curio is cast as more of a trusty sidekick to the Cameo, with some pretty incredible features of its own.

Its dual carriage allows you to perform multiple functions at once, mixing and matching from the list of possible Curio accessories. Stipple and Ink or Emboss and Score in one pass. Contour cut around printed images.

dream-it
The Curio has the same precision cutting that put Silhouette on the map.

 

And now, with a higher 5mm clearance and adjustable base with removable platforms, you can deep cut thicker materials than ever.

Work with leather, foam, metal, and even wood. Emboss soft papers and vellums for professional invitations and polished business cards.

With this dynamic duo at your disposal, your desktop or craft room can soon be your homebase for unlocking all your crafting superpowers. Pre-order yours today!

The Curio’s unique stippling feature lets you create amazing dot patterns that transform into unforgettable art.
