The vinyl process started with setting the symbol up in Illustrator ready for vinyl cutter to etch out the symbol, for a 40cm roll of vinyl which was able to fit four symbols onto cost £3.50, so it's a costly process for the book but a very quick process in terms of the vinyl cutting. Once the cutting process was complete I had to individually separate each symbol from the vinyl then use transfer tape to place the symbol onto the polythene bag, placing the symbol center then applying pressure using a squeegee to make it flat on the substrate. Then I simply peeled the transfer tape off the polythene bag and the process was complete, this process went smoothly without any obstacles but has a higher run cost compared to screen printing onto the bag.
