Stickers are a great way to display your political affiliations, support your favorite band or spread social messages. They are also a popular way to show off your creativity. They can be used on many things like cars, laptops and phones. It is important to know the basics of sticker printing so you can design your own and print them. This will help you be more creative in your designs and have a higher quality product.
The first step in designing your stickers is deciding what shape you want them to be. Once you have a shape in mind you can start thinking about color and style. You should use CMYK colors (not RGB) so that the printer will produce accurate results. It is also important to make sure that your art is at least as large as the final sticker size and that it is saved as a EPS or PDF file. Finally, you should get a hardcopy proof of your stickers before they are printed in order to catch any typos or design flaws.
The next step is to choose a sticker paper that will work with your printer type. This can be found online or at your local craft store. The most common types of sticker papers are white vinyl and clear BOPP. White vinyl is waterproof and UV-coated, ideal for indoor or outdoor use. Clear BOPP is tearproof and oil resistant and works well for bumper stickers and window decals.
