The yawning tiger from Canada

Cam Miller is an illustrator and screen printer from the small Canadian town of Port Hope, Ontario. His designs reached us more or less by chance, because at the request of his cousin, Cam designed illustrations for his cargo bike, which we then turned into stickers.

In his words: “This set of designs was inspired by my baby cousin! In need of decorations for his bike I took up the task to illustrate some of his favourite interests and hobbies. Kids truly have the greatest imagination and in such it was a pleasure to bring his ideas to life!"

When we saw the illustrations, we were immediately in love. So we asked Cam if he would like to provide a selection of his designs for our ARTIST Edition. He was immediately enthusiastic and curated this sticker kit with us. "I’m particularly proud of how all of the elements fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Illustrating the graphics is one challenge but assembling them into one cohesive piece is an entirely different battle."

Cam's favorite character: the yawning tiger. What's yours?

A sticker sheet measuring 115x105mm with 10 reflective stickers

The stickers are made of a reflective film from the traffic safety sector, which is used for warning markings, traffic signs and information signs outdoors. The reflective film meets the requirements of EN12899-1 and is characterized by its durability and absolute weather, corrosion and solvent resistance. Temperatures from -50° to +80° Celsius do not affect the material.

The retro-reflection is created by tiny glass balls that are applied to a transparent plastic layer and reflect the light back to the source. The surface is made of alkyd resin, the adhesive is made of solvent polyacrylate. The full reflection properties are guaranteed for at least 7 years.

The printed colors are UV-resistant and scratch-resistant, meaning they will not fade due to sunlight or lose color due to weather or everyday wear and tear.

The thickness of the stickers is around 0.1mm.

The stickers are suitable for smooth, solid surfaces.
Textiles or rigid foam (Urban Arrow) are not suitable as a substrate.
The surface must be dry and free of grease and dirt particles.
The outside temperature during gluing must not fall below 10° Celsius and ideally corresponds approximately to room temperature.
After 1-2 days, the adhesive bonds with the surface until maximum adhesion is achieved. Removing the stickers then turns out to be a bit of a fiddle. Mechanical action is better than chemicals when removing them.

Once the stickers have been properly applied, you can sit back and relax. Bad weather doesn't bother them. If the film gets dirty, you can wipe it off with water or standard cleaning products without any worries.

The production site for the raw material is in Brandenburg, further processing takes place in Berlin, among other things with the help of workshops for people with disabilities, and we take care of shipping ourselves from our headquarters in Prenzlauer Berg. This means that we can map our value chain entirely regionally. It lies within a radius of 35 km from our store.
