It's been a few months so I don't recall the exact number of promotional stickers I ordered from Vinyl Disorder but I have been very happy with them. These are promotional stickers I give out for free at comic cons if someone buys a certtain amount of product from me. I haven't tested the waterproof aspects of the stickers - I am simply going by look and feel and I was really impressed with the stickers I got from them.

@redhalftone 11 месяцев назад

That's so awesome to hear, and thanks for leaving feedback about them! What kind did you order, the standard gloss vinyl? I've been hoping more people will comment on their experiences with any vendors they've tried.

@Angzarrr 3 месяца назад

I ordered 500 stickers to give out for free at Pride last year from Standup Stickers and based on this I may try Vinyl Disorder for out 1000 order this year. We were very happy with Standup stickers but Vinyl Disorder is a bit cheaper.

@Angzarrr 3 месяца назад

Would you recommend split backs aka easy peel? It’s an extra cost and we are giving the stickers out for free. Not all printers seem to offer this.

@valeriavivar605 Год назад

As someone who has used Rockin' Monkey, I'm conflicted on whether or not I can recommend them. Agree with everything that was said in the video about color accuracy, vibrancy, and durability, but I can't get behind their lack of quality control. Some batches are perfect and some come with off-centered cuts, a jagged perimeter on the laminate of what I'm assuming is the blade that is used for cutting, and pricks/ small holes (I don't know the word, sorry) in the stickers. The small pricks are scattered throughout the designs. On the smaller 2x2 stickers its not as noticeable, but I sell peekers so a lot of the time, there are many of these pricks. I don't know what causes that. Some batches come with a lot of B-grade stickers, which the company is super nice about reprinting. But i've always had to wait 3+ weeks for my original sticker order so I'm not too happy with having to wait longer. Don't get me wrong, they are great stickers and have beautiful quality. Great for beginners like me when starting out. But now that my shop is a little bigger, I can't really take the chance on getting those bad batches.

@redhalftone Год назад

Thanks for your input! That's definitely something that would be easily missed from just 1 print run with them, so I appreciate you sharing your experiences as a repeat customer. That's disappointing to hear but glad to hear they'll reprint the bad batches. Those bad batches definitely shouldn't pass QC to begin with, though.

@SketchInkRepeat Год назад

My one and only experience so far has been positive - but I will say I agree with the wait. They claim 7-13 days I believe if not sooner. But it took longer than that to arrive. It’s a very long wait considering they offer the option to “expedite” your order faster by giving them a deadline. I feel like everyone just makes up an excuse as to why they need them asap which leaves the rest of us waiting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@mbrombert 10 месяцев назад

Which company did you end up going with for long term?

@chelbella5025 Год назад

You've probably made other videos on this by now, but I would love for you to review stickermule. I typically use vinyl disorder, but when I can get a good deal on sticker mule, I go with them. This was such an awesome video! I do want to say if anyone has looked into stickerla to be warned. I spent almost $200 with StickerLA and the print was horrible. When I reached out for help on their website and Facebook and email, no one ever replied. So I was out $200 for some really crappy stickers. The colors were all blurred, all the details were blurred, and the colors were muddied and grainy. Just a heads up for people.

@zoeb6778 Год назад

Just found this video. Very informative!! I just started trying stickers with my artwork. I printed my own, ordered some from Sticker App & some from Vinyl Disorder, so excited to see what I prefer and what price is best for me. I know some of these companies have coupon codes and different savings apart from quantity savings. At first I was a bit overwhelmed with all the choices of where to print my stickers, and maybe I just get them from a few different ones depending on offers and price? Or maybe stick to 1 or 2... But your video is a great! I do think that having something waterproof /UV protection is somewhat important, as a lot of stickers are exposed to the elements.

@redhalftone Год назад

Thanks so much for checking out the video, and glad you found it helpful! You're right a lot of these vendors often have sales or promos so it's Something to consider. It's a good idea to subscribe to their mailing lists because that's usually where you'll find the best promos. I agree with you about the UV coating. Most people who buy stickers these days expect them to last if they put them on an item that sees the outdoor elements.

@BrandyBingham 2 года назад

Those is awesome Lisa, and super helpful. I'm looking forward to the results of the outdoor test. If you've got stickers to spare, I've got another test that might be useful - a peel test! I've found that some stickers are harder to peel after you've had them for awhile vs when you first receive them. Speaking to these vendors specifically, I've used sticker ninja, sticker app, sticker robot and jak prints, and they're all great in different ways that you've mentioned. I'd love to see a review of some of the special materials they use in the future. Also wanted to point out that sticker app just started offering back printing as well though I haven't tried it. Also, sticker robot's back print is B&W only, while sticker app and jak prints do full color. Finally, when it comes to cutting, keep in mind that most vendors will let you submit your own dieline. I've done this with all the vendors I mentioned in order to get full bleed (edge-to-edge) designs. Just make sure you ask them what their safety margins are first. I think most say 1/8" safety with the same size bleed, but that may vary.

@redhalftone 2 года назад

Thanks, Brandy! You made tons of great points and filled in crucial info -- thanks for that! A peel test sounds like a good idea. Maybe I'll let them sit for a few months and give it a try. I have to do a 6 month follow up with the outdoor bit as well anyway. Specialty stocks seems like a good next video. A lot people were asking about those when I originally mentioned making this one.

@pondcypressstudio 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for this video! I have never tried any of these companies but decided to order from Sticker App and I really like how I was able to clearly see what my sticker will look like before ordering . The past company I was using just gave a blurry example of what I just uploaded and it would make me worried my sticker would be blurry too! Your video was very clear and concise which is really appreciated!!

@katherinelangford981 4 месяца назад

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.

@redhalftone 4 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing your experience with Sticker Mule. I was hoping more people would chime in with experiences! How did the Sticker Mule sticker hold up on your car? I'm guessing that would be a really telling experiment for outdoor durability.

@katherinelangford981 4 месяца назад

@redhalftone actually I never tried it out. By the time they arrived I figured out how to make my own. But you're right. Trying both out on the car, at the same time, to see how it fairs would be a good test. Similar to yours. I'm by Detroit and get a good mix of weather.

@thepossum7055 Год назад

Love this video! I’ve only ever used sticker app and sticker mule so it was nice to see other companies and how they stacked up. I will say maybe it’s changed since this video was posted but I personally don’t like sticker app. Though the prices are cheaper the quality can be iffy. I got stickers in both matte and glossy and glossy looked way better as the matte was twice as thin and the colors got muddy since I didn’t have straight solid colors like the example you showed. The glossy was clearer color wise but was rather thick but is a way where if you looked at it from the side you can see the thin vinyl of the sticker and then a thick layer of the gloss. This for me made it look really cheap and I feel like the layers would eventually separate They haven’t yet but I still worry. For now my go to is still sticker mule as it’s one layer and the colors in the matte are very solid and not muddy. The only thing I have to say about sticker mule is I always have to turn my colors up in saturation just a hair if I want it to be super SUPER vibrant colors

@redhalftone Год назад

Thanks! I appreciate you sharing your experiences. I tried StickerMule years ago, but didn't like how the stickers came out. I thought the cut was bad and the colors were muddy -- your note about turning up the saturation makes sense. Maybe I'll give them another shot.

@ZOMb2010 Год назад

Very interesting and well presented . I find it KoOL how stickers are made. I draw and one day hope to get some stickers done. One oddball thing I do with the stickers I collect is the smell test.. yes , may be odd but there is a certain smell that goes along with well made stickers. I personally would use the silkscreen method as "true ink " is used. Thanks again .. PEACE from Western CANADA

@redhalftone Год назад

@redhalftone 2 года назад

I left it up to vendor in this case because I wanted to see how they would handle them. I know not everyone -- especially those starting out has a grasp on how to set them up, so I figured this would be a good thing to look at. On the regular, I usually set them up myself.

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

@redhalftone 4 месяца назад

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.

My go-to is StickerApp. I really like their overall product. The print quality is top-notch and in my experience, they print on quality vinyl that lasts. They're definitely not the most affordable of the bunch but if quality is at the top of your list, that's who I recommend.

@Akeyma Год назад

I was very disappointed in my order (which was very large) from Rockin' Monkey. I would not recommend them. I sent a very high rez file and the print was blurry and the edges rough. Came out much better when I reordered from sticker mule. I prefer SticerkApp for cost / speed. Sticker Mule for thick tough feeling stickers, but are a bit more costly. -- Thanks for this video I'm always curious about other options.

I’m shopping around for a supplier. Was hoping to find a POD but I don’t know if their quality is as good. Do you? I personally love StickerApp. I have a friend who’s an artist who’s been using them for years. I have a few of his gloss stickers on my van that still look great after 3 years outside in the harsh Aussie weather. So that’ll be my pick if I end up having to store my own inventory. Still would prefer POD as I travel full time & holding inventory would be tricky.

@redhalftone Год назад

I'm also a big fan of StickerApp- they're my go-to. I have yet to find a POD vendor that even touches the quality of most of the vendors in the video. The other issue I ran into with PODs aside from the product not being as high quality, is the fact that their prints are inconsistent. Personally, I just can't put out a lack-luster product and have even further inconsistencies. Maybe I'll eventually try to do a review on all POD companies for a good across-the-board comparison.

For your cut to shape stickers, how east are they to peel off from the backing? Have you run into any issues where your damage/crease/wrinkle a sticker when removing a sticker from the backing?

@redhalftone 6 месяцев назад

Most of these don't have the cutback to remove the backing, but overall I haven't had issues removing the stickers. The sticker material is substantial (more like plastic / not like paper) enough to not create wrinkles or creases.

@@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.

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.

@redhalftone 4 месяца назад

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.

@doubledog5894 4 месяца назад

@@redhalftone Okay, thanks. I figured fluorescent inks might involve screen printing. I appreciate 👍

@redhalftone 3 месяца назад

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.

Sorry if you've already addressed this question, but do any of the mentioned businesses do print on demand or drop shipping? If not, do you know of any? I'm looking for a POD/drop shipping company that does a contour die cut/kiss cut sticker instead of on a sheet. Thanks in advance!

@redhalftone 2 года назад

Hey, none of the ones mentioned in the video do printing on demand or drop shipping. You could try Printful. They do what you're looking for in both kiss-cut and sheets. I've never printed stickers with them so I don't know about the quality. I actually use Printful for print-on-demand and drop shipping art prints. It connects nicely with Shopify and I'm happy with them so far.

@Youngj723 2 года назад

@@redhalftone Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I've been checking out Printful, Printify and other POD companies, but all of their stickers come out on a sheet, regardless of the type of sticker. Was hoping someone knew of a way to get stickers contour cut where the backing is the same shape as the sticker itself from a POD company so I don't have to order 50+ stickers and then ship myself. Contour cut stickers just look much more high-end/premium.

@redhalftone 2 года назад

@@Youngj723 Yeah, the contour cuts look way better. I'll let you know if I come across anything.

Thanks for the informative video! This helped me a lot! Does anyone know if these companies print any transparent designs? I'm trying to look into selling stickers but most of my current designs look better without a white border.

Thanks for checking it out! StickerApp prints transparent -- I've tried it and recommend it. All of the vendors mentioned in the video do as well, but I haven't tried those.

Does anyone know if any of these vendors are listed in Printful or Printify to print on demand my sticker designs?

@redhalftone 5 месяцев назад

These are all independent vendors that don't offer print-on-demand services. I have experience with Printful and don't recommend them for stickers. I can't speak for them all, but every print-on-demand service lacks quality compared to a regular vendor with minimums such as these. I know the drop shipping aspect of Printful is super convenient, but if you care about quality it's not the way.

I have a question do you know any stickers companies that can allow you to have free samples of your own stickers

@redhalftone Год назад

None of these do, and I've never come across one that does. Some will send you a pack of past stickers they've made to show you their various stocks and materials. Otherwise, your best bet is to go with some of the ones I mentioned with low minimums that allow you to print 1 sticker to see how your design is looking printed. Vinyl Disorder was best for this in this bunch.

@redhalftone Год назад

I'd ask them if they could send a digital proof and then compare their proof to your CMYK file. However, looking at color on screens is usually not very telling because colors can vary quite a bit and just not be represented accurately. But I'd start with the proof. Good luck!

Hmmm Technically speaking, you should export files for print in the CMYK color profile, but I found with StickerApp exporting them in RGB ends up yielding better color. Could it possibly have to do with color profiles?

which on would you recommend for someone starting an etsy shop? ive never made stickers before or bought from any of these websites, im wanting to make stickers of cartoony people, animals, etc

@redhalftone 11 месяцев назад

If you're just starting out and you're still experimenting with the art/seeing what designs people gravitate to buying, I'd start with one of the cheaper vendors like Vinyl Disorder. That way, it will be pretty low cost and your budget will likely go further. Once you've kind of established yourself you could check out some of the other ones. I personally really like StickerApp and they do effects stickers like holographic, glitter, metallic, etc.... better than many of the others.
