Rockabilly in the desert: Catch the Hardways this summer!

Located in our Arizona home, you'll find a desert rockabilly band called “The Hardways”. They have been playing clubs, benefits, tattoo festivals, biker rallies, roller derby bouts and rodeos since 2003, and just released their second album, titled “I-10 Blues”. They will be touring the Southwest this summer to promote it.

We have had the pleasure of printing their large “calling card” stickers that are handed out to each new location they play. You’ll know they have played that venue, when you see the stickers in dozens of locations across Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, South Dakota, Texas and California.

Band member Gingher, told us that they “chose Custom Sticker Makers as our exclusive sticker printers because we wanted to support a local business. Since CSM is out of Prescott, we knew we wanted to go with them. In addition, CSM offers competitive prices and makes great stickers!!”

If you happen to love Rockabilly, and are in the desert Southwest this summer, be sure to catch one of their shows!

A Place for Bikers: Chop It and Share About It

Most people that ride motorcycles love nothing more than talking about bikes, and wrenching on them themselves. Motorcycle builders have a certain camaraderie, and the guys at thechopperunderground.com have created a forum just for bikers to share their stories, ask for advice and even post photos of their builds online.

This forum is made up of custom bike builders from around the world, and it is not brand specific. They welcome all makes of motorcycles, and consider the forum “a home to those of us who want to build a bike the way we see it without mortgaging our homes”. Their motto is “Chop What Ya Got”, which is just one of the many sticker designs we have printed for them.

The guys over at thechopperunderground.com have had us print quite a few different bike stickers for them, and all proceeds go back into the forum to help it grow, or are combined with additional donations that then go to charities across the world.

TCU uses Custom Sticker Makers for all of their sticker printing needs because “CSM Has excellent quality made stickers which are printed right here in the US. TCU has placed several orders now with CSM and never been let down.”
If you ride, or just love motorcycles, be sure join their forum online at

When the Powder Gets Deep : Nothing Better Than Meier Skis



Nestled in the heart of ski country, is a little town called Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and what better location for a handmade ski company to be based out of? 

Handmade ski company, Meier Skis creates top of the line skis from locally grown lumber. Meier believes that “There is nothing better than riding Colorado slopes on native Colorado wood.” They offer a  variety of skis, all while maintaining a classic look to their designs, and showcasing the beautiful wood that the skis are made from.

We recently printed a bunch of stickers for Meier, and if you have ever set foot in a ski resort, it’s no doubt that skiers love stickers. Meier uses their stickers to promote and advertise their business. Everyone loves free stickers, and Meier has utilized this fact to get free advertising when people stick their stickers around town and on their vehicles.

If you are a powder lover, make sure you check out meierskis.com. From the bunny slopes to the steeps, they have a ski for you!
