Vandalize the friggin' world!!
They end up on laptops, water bottles, shipping boxes, mirrors, street signs (not officially recommending that), and wherever else people decide your artwork belongs.
How People Actually Use These Things
Put them on packaging
Hand them out at shows or markets
Sell them as merch
Include them as freebies with orders
Turn artwork into something affordable and collectible
QR code stickers that send people somewhere useful
Label things so nobody steals your good scissors
If someone sticks it somewhere permanent, you did your job.
The Most Common Sticker Setup
The stickers we make are:
Vinyl
Contour-cut (cut to the shape of your design)
Laminated to be weather-resistant
Printed in full color
There’s no “standard sticker size,” but generally speaking:
2"–3" = giveaway size
3"–4" = sweet spot
4"–5" = statement sticker
Setting Up Your File
If you’re designing your own sticker artwork, here’s the quick-and-clean version:
Final size: whatever size you want the sticker to be
Color mode: RGB
Resolution: 300 DPI
File type: PNG or PDF
*If you save out as a PDF, include a cutline - and be sure to save a PDF7 or higher.
Either way - include a transparent background
Avoid super thin details or very sharp corners, they won't cut as cleanly.
Why RGB?
My sticker printing workflow works with RGB beautifully, and it usually produces brighter, more predictable color than CMYK for this kind of job.
What Makes a Good Sticker?
Simple idea
Strong silhouette
Readable from a few feet away
Something someone actually wants to stick somewhere permanent
