  Great video, I do not ship out stickers for myself yet but I was planning on starting. A great tip on the envelopes (which is genius by the way) get a custom stamp made with your branding to set off the envelope from everything else in the mail. IT will get someone even more excited to open it.

  Of these vendors, check out vinyl disorder. When you click on their cut to shape stickers, you'll see a grey box at the bottom of the quantities section that says"need just one?". You could probably order them all individually that way. Overall it will be more expensive per sticker, though.

  This is prolly a dumb question but if I want to print stickers with fluorescent colors in the design, what are the options? Is that a particular printing process or sticker material or can any printing service generally do prints with fluorescent inks? Thanks.

• 
  @redhalftone3 ай бұрын

  With digital/CMYK printing you won't be able to achieve fluorescent colors. The digital/CMYK process is what most of these vendors offer. You'll want to look for a vendor that offers silkscreen/screenprinting and will Pantone color match or at the very least will offer the basic fluorescent inks. Of these vendors, Sticker Robot actually does offer screen-printed stickers with Pantone color matching so it's likely you could achieve this with them. However, keep in mind that it will be more expensive than what's shown in this video because you're getting into specialty printing.

  I am being told by the USPS that I cannot ship my sticker packs (6 or 8 stickers in a baggie) because they claim it won’t go through the rollers. They say I have to pay the nonmachinable surcharge but my customers are not getting my stickers for up to 4 weeks. The alternative is a 3.75 tracking package that still takes 5 biz days to arrive. Any thoughts? They’re flat out refusing to take my stamped envelopes.

• 
  @redhalftone3 ай бұрын

  Have you tested mailing them? I wasn't clear if you were just asking USPS and they said no, or you mailed some and they didn't arrive or took a long time to arrive to your customers. I don't ask USPS, I just test. I've been able to mail them in envelopes with just a regular forever stamp (no nonmachinable surcharge). My general rule of thumb is as long as it looks like it could be a greeting card and it's under 1oz in weight it's totally fine. If it's over 1oz you need to pay more postage. In the cases like that, or for larger bulkier orders you can buy rigid photo mailers -- I use the 9x7in ones and you can mail those as a "flat" rather than a package. Flats are cheaper because they don't include tracking (you can add it but it basically turns into package pricing if you do).

  I love going through and finding out how other people ship items out. I have almost no branding style. If you are just getting started, don't forget you can go super cheap. At this point I go through so many orders. I have always shipped in a blank #10 Envelope which I run through a super cheap B/W Laser Printer. for protection I use a small piece of Chipboard with the packing slip folded around it, and the order tucked nicely inside. Many different ways to ship an item out. Fantastic video!

  Interesting. I used Sticker Mule, as they had a 10 stickers for $1 promo. They were a matte finish and had a sort of satin texture to them. They also allowed for me to specify the off set, or how much white was around it, and that was cool. I've since learned how to make stickers myself, printing on vinyl, cold laminating, then contour cutting, but I can only do glossy finishes. So that's what I'm selling in store. I tested them out on my car for a few months before releasing them. No dishwasher to test, but handwashing seems fine. If these get busy enough to warrant just having them outside printed I'd be willing to give Stciker Mule another order and give one of these guys a try to compare. Probably sticker app. Have about 8 designs so far, but about 5 that do best. I'm off to find your 6 months later video. Thanks this was informative and hopefully useful down the line.

  when you say a softer cut like, do you mean like the feel of it on the edge? I like for my stickers to be rounded down and smooth so no dirty and grime sticks around the edges. I have stickers from sticker app and they're sharp on the edges

• 
  @redhalftone4 ай бұрын

  I mean rounded edges as in there are no pointed, hard-angled edges. I guess I just don't like rounded contours :). I haven't noticed any grime or edges collecting dust in the rounded vs sharp edge contours. I know what you mean by the grime though, but it appears to have to to do with some vendors having a bit of adhesive around the edges. I'm guessing this has to do with how they cut them -- laser vs. plotter cutter. I think the laser-cut ones get stickier and attract the grime. I've resorted to leaving them in the ziploc bags they come in to mitigate this.

  You can mail them as "flats" with USPS using the same rigid mailer I've shown in the video. Mailing as flats without tracking is significantly cheaper. The tracking is what makes it expensive, but if it would be a financial loss if it got lost in the mail it would be best to include the tracking. You kinda have to weigh whats most important.

  @@redhalftoneThanks for getting back to me. While I am looking to create logo stickers, I am also looking to do custom lettering as well to put across the windows of my truck & sides of my camper. I could not find lettering on StickerApp and Vinyl Disorder does not show a reasonable preview of what lettering would look like in a "real-life" situation. As you know there are a LOT of vinyl graphic stores on the internet. Would I be correct in assuming that you only highlighted the "stores" that were willing to "play ball" with you? If so, than this is only a fair comparison among the stores you listed as I have had some success with Red Bubble and Vista Print. Price is not the main concern, ease of use with the interface online while creating my design is very important. I really want to see what the product will look like BEFORE I spend my money. I spent over $200 on vinyl graphics on 4 stickers at a local business who did all of the printing and placement on a former vehicle. Thank you for your efforts in providing a look at a few sticker stores but as I stated, the ones I looked at StickerApp/Vinyl Disorder fell short when it came to working with their online software.

  @@doctorkayak All of the vendors shown in this video specialize in vinyl stickers (more so in the stick-it-on-your-water bottle, street slaps, or laptop sticker sense) and are the some of the major players in that particular space. I wouldn’t count on these vendors for vinyl lettering - most don’t even offer that. I know Vinyl Disorder offers vinyl lettering but I’ve personally never ordered that from them so I’m not sure of the quality. The best way to see real-life work would be to check out a company’s social media, but even then you might not find anything. Printers are terrible at showing off their work. My 2-cents - if you’re looking for cut vinyl letters for a vehicle, go to a local sign shop or a shop that does vehicle wraps. I work with a lot of companies in the automotive space as my main job and anytime we design graphics for race cars or trailers we stick to local shops.

I know the drop shipping aspect of Printful is super convenient, but if you care about quality it's not the way.
