Man everybody in the comments big mad about the price of the 100 sheets of sticker paper. You guys do realize online a roll of 100 labels / stickers is $100? If i can put 6 of my business labels on each page i can have over 600! It’s sooo much more affordable!!! Thanks for the video.
People are getting mad about that?! For the gloss sheet of paper right now It's only 55 cents a sheet not including tax! Even if you only put one eight inch sticker on there, that is still much cheaper than buying stickers from someone online! My only problem is that I am not good with cutting and placing images right so that part of it doesn't get cut out. I always mess up when it comes to cutting and placing images. I wish that there was a way to tell before printing if part of an image would get cut out. Actually, this Isn't vinyl paper, so is this paper good for making stickers that you would place on surfaces like a phone, laptop, car, etc?
I started a printing business and wow. A lot of people don’t know how to get full high quality prints with high gloss paper. I’ve had to redo so many prints that other company’s mess up. I do gotta say that I like your method for waterproofing
Awesome video, thanks! I just want to add that it's possible the sticker won't be waterproof if you use an inkjet printer, it's going to depend on the ink your printer uses as they are all different. Buying "weatherproof" sticker paper will help with this, but it still might not make it 100% waterproof without laminating it, so make sure to run some tests before assuming your stickers are waterproof.
This is a super important comment. I got to the end of the video and I was so confused - your stickers are not going to be waterproof just from printing on top of something that's waterproof.
You can coat any kind of paper in shellac in a spray can (couple light coats not heavy ones) done it for stickers bus cards etc. I wouldn't submerge it but it crazy ups the durability
Pretty good and cheap alternative: buy some cheap but not low-quality sticker paper at your local bookstore, print it, and put some clear tape on it before cutting it out.
My man! I appreciate an individual whom recognizes constructive criticism and acts upon it instead of just projecting their feelings in regards to the criticism.
we used this method in our Etsy store when we first started :) now we have over 8,000 sales and some of the best equipment in the industry. By doing this we have grown our Esty shop SierraCustomStickers to the point where we quit our full time job!
i came here after ordering sticker paper on amazon and it was the right brand but its matte 😩 im hoping i can find a way to laminate them to make them glossy. amazing video!
I use scotch self adhere laminate! It’s fairly easy to lay down and it’s nice and shiny. It doesn’t look as great but the colors never smear off! It’s what I do for the matte paper. I bought it by accident as well
@@TheBruceAllen I never said you were a genius, lol. also I have a printer at home, that I can get done for free, and I'm not old enough to drive a car, my parents won't drive me because 1.) I'm not with my dad enough to ask him. 2.) My mom won't because gas is expensive and we don't live close enough. 3.) my mom is kinda sycho and makes me uncomfortable when I'm with her. 4.) non of my siblings will because one is mentally ill and can't drive right now, and the other lives to far away to drive me. so um... yeah
You could print to a home inkjet printer as a print and cut and cut on silhouette cameo.this way you don’t have to leave your home, and continue making great diy projects.
@@naordaniel I set my reg marks to darkest on the cameo. And so far haven’t had a problem. If you do upside to the cameo is the reg marks are only in the corners so you can use small bits of tape to dull the shine unlike the cricut you have to tape over the whole registration box (if it’s too glossy to read).
@@esthercho6249 i was wondering the same thing, but reading this gave me the idea of creating a 'cookie cutter' to score the sticker's shape (instead of buying a plotter / doing it by hand), so thanks!
Waterproof sticker paper is great as your stickers won’t disintegrate when exposed to moisture. However, won’t the ink from any inkjet print still run if it gets wet and has not been laminated? Just looking for clarification here. Thanks!
I would avoid getting this particular paper if using for a business. I washed a cup with my stickers one time and it immediately gets wet and peels off. Make sure you get waterproof if you want to make a quality product
I recommend a silhouette portrait 3. It's a few hundred dollars but it does a great job. (if ur looking for lower prices than that, honestly u should just stick with your trusty hand and scissor.)
Am I missing something here? All you say in this video is to buy some paper and print your design with your own inkjet printer or take to Kinko. How do you make the stickers waterproof? Any tips other than cutting a slit on the back?
Really needed this information ! Definitely going to be trying this out ! Thanks so much ! hope you are staying safe I pray that God can protect you and your family and friends from all the crazy things that are happening in this world with the coronavirus and everything and everyone else being affected by it I pray that he can help you and your loved ones with whatever struggles ! Jesus loves you a lot ! Just felt like saying this ! have a good day!
I ordered this sticker paper and it curled at the long edges so now every time I go to print an order, I have to bend the sides back so my printer doesn't hit the edges
I never thought to make my own either. I was just about to buy from someone as I'm looking into getting into making them, but seeing how much cheaper it is, It's worth a shot. I'm just so bad at cutting things and lining images right so that the printer doesn't cut out part of the image.
How does one make the Vinyl style slap stickers you see on jdm/drift cars like anime n such also how do they get the special effects like glitter n such
You're thinking of CMYK ink stickers chief. Different industry and expensive machinery at that but a good payoff if you're trying to make way in this market. One way of making similar slaps is to purchase the white matte paper and layering it with laminate. You can cut it by hand or one of those paper cutting thingies you can buy at walmart. It'll last long enough but inkjet inks fade after a while in the sun. CMYK are more resistant but eventually fade too after a little bit longer.
Hi. This is great! I know this is after the video is made and your probably not seeing this, but what do you mean by cutting an x through the paper? Like fully cutting the paper like that, or just lightly cutting an x. I don't know what that means haha. Please explain if you can! Also, do you have to use word? Or can it be on a google doc. Will it not work on a google doc? Thank you!
Hey i have a designjet t520 and would like to begin a side hustle and i want to know were to get the vinyl materials and if it comes in roles i am based is south africa any info would be helpful
do you have to cut them out yourself or can you use a sticker cutter? for example a cricket. because whenever i see people use one of the machines it makes a sheet and not an individual sticker. because im bad and slow at cutting starting a company may be harder if i cant use a machine.
You can use a cricut or your hands. totally up to you and how deep your wallet is. I use my hands. But If you are mass producing intricate designs a cricut is ALOT easier.
Do not take my advice. But i use the Canon Pixma 100.However the color matching was starting to go funky after about two years (messed with the settings to much prolly). I now go to kinkos for ink intensive color prints.
