The Ins and Outs of Sticker Printing

People love stickers. They're colorful, they're fun, they can be big or small, and they make a statement. As a child, you played with them all the time. You're proud to say that you even got a few on your good behavior chart. A sticker can make anyone smile. Even as adults, there are plenty of uses for stickers. Teachers use them for class, people who are mailing letters use them to avoid licking envelopes, small business owners use them to market their businesses, and sometimes it's just fun to put one on your car and support your favorite team. If you need stickers, whether it's a big order or a small order, there are still a lot of things to think about before you make your order from the sticker printing company. Don't worry, though...ordering stickers is breeze!

 

 

First of all, you'll need to think about what you want your sticker to say. You can find all sorts of stickers that are already designed for you, but if you want to, you can design your own. If the stickers are for your business, you'll probably want your business' name and contact information on them. If you're using them for mailing purposes, you'll want your name and address on them. If you're trying to make a statement, then state away! Any good sticker printing company will allow you to customize your own sticker.

 

Speaking of customization...don't forget about colors, sizes, and shapes. When you're thinking about sticker printing, remember these are your stickers and they can be any color you like. When you're deciding on what size you need, it's all in the purpose. If these stickers are going to go on letter envelopes, then a smaller sticker is best. If they are to market your business, you'll want them to be bigger. The shape of your stickers is really important too. They don't have to be the old traditional rectangle bumper sticker; they can be ovals, stars, hearts, circles, or squares. Different sticker printing companies do different shapes so when you're ordering, make sure you ask about their unique shapes.

 

Customizing your sticker doesn't stop at the glossy image on the front. You want your sticker to last, so you'll need to think about what type of material you want your sticker printed on. Some sticker printing companies use a process called the flexographic process. It will make sure that your sticker has a long and prosperous life, no matter where you stick it. The flexographic process keeps your sticker from cracking.

 

Great! Now that you know what your masterpiece is going to look like, submit your order. Generally, after you submit it, someone from the sticker printing company will call you to talk about your vision for your sticker. Before you get that phone call, decide how many stickers you need. If you're using the stickers for personal mailing, you'll want to order enough to last you for a while. If you're using them for your small business, you'll want to order a lot of them so that you can get your business' name and contact information out there. Teachers, are your ordering for your class? Get enough so that each student can have one more than once. No matter what the purpose of your stickers is, you should pick a sticker printing company who can print them quickly and correctly. Sometimes, if you have a big order, a sticker printing company will give you a discount. Keep that in mind if you're ordering in bulk. You can usually have your stickers printed and shipped within twenty-four hours.
