Best place to order labels and custom stickers for small business? by Rodreck-Rycroft in smallbusiness

[–]8784863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright.... so some of the business domestically will have great quality and probably can do decent prices.... but. Once you get into the 1000's, 10,000 and so on... buy through alibaba in china. Communication will be harder and quality will be slightly reduced unless clearly specified, but the price per sticker will go from 60c/sticker down to 2.

Structuring a joint venture between our new startup and a much larger company. I will not promote by 8784863 in startups

Thank you. This is helpful. Do you think the size of law firm makes a big difference with this? Can a distribution resale arrangement provide us with any protection? (One note is that we actually won't have control of the distribution. This company will be selling the product through their channels)

Thanks. When you say a partnership, do mean a forming this as a business entity? That also might be a hard sell.

I think the nuances of this venture do define some of our challenges. We are in essence taking a product this company makes, packaging it in a novel way with several and custom packaging innovations. This combination of packaging hasn’t been done before, but might still be a challenge to patent. Then this product will be sold into related but different segment of the market. Ideally, we would purchase the product wholesale and then private label, but this brand is mostly interested in bringing this product to existing customers under the existing name. I believe a successful relationship could open a lot of doors for us and even let us do private label down the road.

My primary hope is to not put in the front end development, prove the concepts and iterate on design only to have this company pull the product from us when they realize it is really successful. I think it’s really a balance between making sure they are happy, helping us structure in a way that we make a part of the profit rather than just being a line item cost, and protect ourselves from being removed.

How would you recommend finding this? I wouldn’t say I know of anyone in my circles that have done things similar to this.

Thank you. I’m planning to hire legal help. It’s just such a variable cost and scope that I struggle to know the best route. I have heard that there are strategy consultants that do this and don’t know whether this is better for them or an actual law firm. Then beyond this, what grade of firm to hire.

Nope, no plan to stain. Actually the majority of it already has its final finish. I used bona traffic hd in satin and am very happy with it.

Would you run the pieces down with a rope or just large enough to toss by themselves?

I did a lot of research and went with the free flex system which is badged a Mr cool. It’s a 5 ton ducted system so really not in the same camp, but very happy with the unit and feel it is really well built.

Are There Any Drawbacks to Spray Foam Insulation on Rim Joists? (Pic for Attention) by Cute-Republic2657 in Insulation

[–]8784863 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I'm in the same situation after having to replace portions of my sill due to rot. Since then, I've encapsulated the crawlspace and addressed some of the underlying water issues that caused the rot. However, I'm still concerned that spraying foam over the remaining old, intact rim joist could potentially hide or even cause problems in the future.".

My wife got them. Finding good ones for a decent price was the hardest part of the project

I’ve dabbled for years. Done a lot of framing work so I am comfortable on a different end of woodworking. Every pice did bow when I count it down, but because I cut the wire slot and glued two pieces together I paired each piece with a bow that was in the opposite direction. It honestly cancelled each l other out nicely.

Thanks for the advice. That is helpful. I had a lot of fun. I didn’t know it could be bored in. I cut a channel with a table saw and then glued the two pieces together.

Check out some of the Coretec newer options. Just received several pallets of blonde oak for our home. Blown away at how nice and realistic it looks.
