Vinyl Sticker printing?
« on: February 16, 2017, 04:02:31 AM »
Im wondering if anyone has any experience having things printed into vinyl stickers?
Im mostly looking for a company that I can order in bulk, that also makes a quality, durable sticker, with good full color.

Our local copy shops dont seem to offer this, and even if they did, I feel like it would probably be too expensive to be a regular service.

For now I'm opening a Redbubble store just to sell some in the meantime, but I'm hesitant to really set up permanently. I like redbubble for its cheap pretty stickers, xD but at the end of the day they are kinda cheap, Iv noticed that color rubs off over time if its in a place where it gets touched a lot, (my friend has one on the back of their DS so it gets constantly rubbed) But they do stick well, and are easy to remove (my son uses them on his school laptop, and after a full school year he can peel them off with no residue left behind). Im also worried that it is too easy for other people to steal art from other people and sell them in their own shop.

Ideally I'd like to have them printed and shipped to my house in big batches, so I could sell and distribute them in my own way, as well as bringing large batches to sell at conventions.
Anyone have any experience with this? There are so many places that offer this online but its hard to tell what's more gimmicky and whats really good quality!

Are you looking for kiss cut sheets or just singles ?

Most of the big online groups will send samples if you ask.

For singles I've been told that Sticker guy (www.stickerguy.com) is the cheapest and has a good quality. They are very popular with indi bands looking to promote themselves.

Never done it before, but I got my business cards for this company (they have since expanded to other types of printing as well) and they had great customer service. I can speak from actually having to use it lol. My first run of cards the printer had an alignment issue for a portion of them, and they were quick to reprint and send another batch without any hassle to me. The final product ended up looking really nice.

I print them myself with papilio paper (inkjet waterproof vinyl)

If I used a company I'd probably use jakprints.

I guess im looking for single precut stickers? I want the cut to outline the actual sticker... if that makes sense xD

Ill look at these sites though thanks.

Id like to be able to print my own, but I dont even have a printer, let alone one that would knock out good quality prints x.x
