I'm trying to figure out how to make my own decals for my coin return buttons. I so far can't find information on this.

What I want to know is, how do i get the size right to fit on the button, and whats the best material to use? Thanks guys

i do graphic design professionally, but it would be best to take a photo of what you want. what button? do you mean a sticker?

I can explain this ;)

This is the coin reject button you see on the coin door. If your quarter gets stuck you press the button and the coin comes out to the coin return/reject tray at the bottom.

I'm still trying to get my arcade business going, and I want to remove the happ 25C sticker inside the button which is really easy to do but i can't seem to get the measurements right to do it correctly. I'm also not sure what paper would be translucent enough to do it or if i should make a quality sticker with my logo the right size and attach that instead.

I know its a little thing by all standards but I figure if I'm gonna do it I'm gonna do it all the way.

I made my own for Centuri coin doors. Just take the thing apart and measure it! :)

Here's mine:

I was going to ask you, but I didn't want to be a bother. I have this problem though of any time i print something it comes out the wrong size.

some printers have that problem, or you might want to try to print in another program.

I may need to buy a laser jet printer or something more up to date/accurate. the one i have it's not junk or anything im perfectly happy with printing regular letters or something with it. However more often then not when i try to print something smaller with it like these decals they don't turn out very well.

So I just got in my coin door. The door itself is fine, i got it from X-Arcade. There is one fairly large issue. The return slot is fused and i get get there cheap bad looking sticker out of it.

Oh side note i know that the return stickers I made will work great. I used your returns john as a template to make mine, and mine turned out great. I'll Add photos to this topic a little later on.

I did some research on the matter. I found that the happ coin returns have a slot in it that you push the card out of. One of those little things no one bothered to mention so I made a video to explain it lol. Anyways this is solved.
