Stickers
We make most of our stickers at home.
I am personally not anal about stickers I make, buy, and use being weatherproof for 50 years laminated with the thickest industrial plastic.
I sorta LIKE when stickers will eventually fall off, disintegrate into nothingness, and die. Plus less plastic in the world.
Most homemade/handmade stickers inkjet are not going to be totally waterproof anyways. I've found with most laminates + paper combos I've tried, water eventually seeps into the sides and melts the color on the edges. You're gonna have better indestructible results with printers meant for stickers.
Process
- Print sticker on sticker paper. (currenty use koala)
- Cut stickers with plotting machine (currently use silhouette)
- ???
- Stick the sticker.
Manufacturing
Occasionally you may NEED industrial grade stickers to put on your car or water bottle or something. Here's some printers I know of:
| Company | Price for 3“ | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|---|
| https://www.stickerbunnies.com/ | $0.45 each | By artists for artists, Low MOQ | Small business = long wait |
| https://stickerguy.com/ | B&W: 250 for $65 | Monthly color specials, bumper sticker sizes | High MOQ, must order full color in 1000+ bulk |
Don't use Stickermule cuz they'll spam your inbox with awful political propaganda, and their acrylic charms are very poor quality.
