For a handful of stickers you already have the machine and materials for, making them yourself is cheaper. For durable, laminated stickers in any real quantity, or anything going outdoors or on a water bottle, ordering usually wins on cost per sticker, time, and how long they last.
Yes. If the design is yours to use, the stickers we print for you are yours to sell in a shop, at markets, or online. You need the right to the artwork, and nothing from us.
Yes, but stickers and roll labels have different laminates. Gloss stickers take Sharpie, and pen to a degree; matte stickers take ballpoint as well as permanent marker. Vinyl sheet labels are the same as stickers. On roll labels, write on matte, with pen or Sharpie; writing on a gloss roll label scratches off with a fingernail. Unlaminated paper takes pen.
Almost always because of the surface, not the sticker: dust or oil, cold or damp, a textured or powder-coated finish, a hard-to-bond plastic, a curve too tight for the size, or water too soon. Find what you're seeing below for the fix.
Yes. Quantity pricing is built into every product: the per-sticker price drops steeply as quantity grows, and the calculator shows it. Resellers and 501(c)(3) nonprofits can contact us about bulk pricing, and to order tax exempt, email us your certificate before you order.
Put white under the parts of your design that have to read as solid, true color, and leave it out wherever you want the clear film, rainbow, sparkle, or mirror to show. Your proof shows exactly where the white goes before anything prints.
The laminate is a clear protective film over the print. It helps a sticker resist sun, water, and scratches, and it gives the gloss or matte finish. Every sticker we print is laminated; roll labels can be ordered without it.
It depends on the product. On most stickers, sheet labels, and Window Cling, if we haven't heard back 36 hours after we send the proof, we may go ahead and print what the proof shows, so reply, or ask us to hold it. Roll labels, trade stickers, and stickers we design for you never print until you approve them.
Thin layers, top to bottom: a gloss or matte laminate and the adhesive that bonds it, the printed ink, white ink on clear and specialty films, the vinyl or film itself, the adhesive that sticks it down, and the backing liner you peel off.
