Our Process
BumperArt.com runs the most state of the art printing facilities in the world. There are two common ways that bumper stickers are printed: traditional offset printing, and "sign machines" that create vinyl stickers using a process similar to how truck signs are created.

For most of our stickers we use a third, unique, process with a $100,000 machine similar to a laser printer. Except that the finished product impregnates plastic "toner" into a plastic substrate. The result is a product unique to BumperArt.com.

We also have the equipment used by others in the business: namely, a wide-format printer that creates vinyl stickers. Combined with precise computer-contolled cutting equipment we are able to produce custom shapes up to 30" wide and several hundred feet long. At this time the vinyl stickers are only available for wholesale orders of 100 or more of a given sticker. Contact us for details.

When you place an order, it is transmitted electronically to the printing facility within seconds. We do manually cut each sticker -- so actual lead time is per the current estimate on our web page, plus mail time. (The estimate is updated in real time, based on how many orders are currently in house.)

Location
Our corporate offices are in Redmond, WA. We have manufacturing facilities in both Redmond and Bellingham, WA, with Bellingham being the primary manufacturing facility.

Why Don't You Have Phone Support?
Bumper stickers are not exactly a high-profit business. The only way we are able to offer them at low cost -- especially with all the customization capabilities on this website -- is by operating under a true Internet business model. That means no phone support, no mail orders, no retail outlets, and no checks accepted. We realize that some people are looking for personal support, but that's a business decision we made.

We do have responsive email support, however.

Website
We run on Microsoft's .NET technology in order to assure the utmost in security and performance for our customers. The site is in a co-location facility in Redmond, WA on an extremely fast Internet backbone.

Retail Stores
We do not operate retail stores, and have no intention to do so in the future. 

Executive Team
Our dedicated management team has years of experience in companies like Enron, World Com, and various dotcoms.

OK, so that's really not true. It's more accurate to say this is a family-owned business.
