DAVe TOO’s Sticker Printing Guide

Silkscreened stickers have the advantages of being higher quality than digitally printed stickers and will typically last longer in the elements than digitally printed stickers. The only drawback is that you have to order a higher quantity of a single design.

StickerGuy! printed the first stickers I ever made for my punk band Rise Above back in about 1996 and I’ve been using them ever since. You simply can’t beat them when it comes to quality for price in quantities of 250 black and white or red and black on white vinyl. Because they do their stickers as gang runs, your turnaround time will be longer than most other sticker printers, but if price is a concern it’s definitely worth the wait.

They also do monthly specials with different ink and vinyl combinations, custom ink color and specialty vinyl orders, bulk sticker printing, as well as digital sticker printing.

Sticker Robot prints for the big boys like Google and Facebook, and they’ll print stickers of equally awesome quality for you too. If you want full-color, high-quality vinyl stickers in quantities of 250 or more, look no further. They do it all from clear vinyl, to holographic, back printing, split back, you name it.

They also do digital sticker printing.

Digitally printed stickers have the advantage of being less of an upfront investment in a single sticker design because you can order a very small number of them, sometimes just one. Also, digital sticker printing is very competitive so if you shop around you can find the digital sticker printer offering just the right deal for exactly what you’re looking for.

Whether you need basic, affordable, square stickers, printed to give away at an event, or holographic stickers with a custom shape, Sticky Brand‘s team of sticker experts can make it happen.

Vinyl Disorder always has a lot of deals going for different sizes and quantities and chances are they’ll have the perfect deal for just what you want to print.

Eggshell stickers have the advantage of being very difficult to remove due to the thinness of the vinyl and their strong adhesive. Attempting to remove eggshell stickers requires a great deal of effort as they will crumble like an eggshell when someone tries to remove them.

Gang run sticker printing has the advantage of being typically less expensive than going to a sticker printer by yourself for one or two sticker designs. Often run by a sticker artist who puts together the run for a handful of friends and acquaintances and sometimes actually prints the stickers themselves.
