Guide To Buying Custom Stickers & Decals

When purchasing custom stickers or decals for your business, you need to do a bit of planning. A little bit of knowledge can go a long way in saving you money and time. Taking the time to learn a bit about the process can help you navigate this process with no hassle.

First thing that all custom sticker buyers need to consider is how these stickers are going to be used. If your sticker is intended to be stuck on things that will last and that are outside, the sticker needs to be a vinyl sticker of some sort. If your sticker is temporary, for packaging, nametags, correspondence, or presentations, you can opt for a paper sticker.

Vinyl stickers cost slightly more than paper stickers but are much more durable. When they are laminated with a thin film over the ink, they are even more durable.

Paper stickers can be very inexpensive, yet are really meant for indoor or temporary use.

Stickers come in all shapes and sizes from standard shapes such as squares, rectangles, ovals, circles and bursts. Custom cut shapes are called “die cut” stickers. This custom shape is usually achieved with a “die” that is not unlike a cookie cutter. These dies are expensive to make and usually stay with the printer.

Koolprint can print stickers and decals in 1, 2, 3 or 4 spot colors or full color process CMYK. Spot color printing is by far the most popular and economical type of sticker printing for runs over 500 or so pieces.Koolprint offers offset 4-color printing, which is called "process color".

Tip: Be sure to save your artwork into CMYK or RGB depending on the printer’s requirements. RGB is the most common color format for image manipulation. RGB stands for Red Green Blue. CMYK is a color format available in most full featured image manipulation software.
