Businesses can utilize customized vinyl stickers to serve as an incentive for customers to be loyal also. If you have a loyal customer base you can reward customers for their business is one of the most effective methods to not just keep them, but also to let the word be spread that your business recognizes the importance of rewarding those who select your company.
An example is to hand bumper stickers that feature your logo and company name when a client orders an item that is custom-made. Make sure you capture a photo or an encapsulated video of them applying the bumper stickers on their vehicle and then post it on the internet for all to look at! You can then give them a second chance to be rewarded by offering discounts for the sticker and wearing your logo.
Following is the set of steps to make your custom vinyl stickers:
Take Inspiration
Take a look at similar designs on vinyl for inspiration. You can search online on “vinyl sticker” as well as “vinyl stickers.” Take note of the things you like and dislike about diverse designs that you can see. Look for stickers that look similar to the ones you’d like to design.
If, for instance, you are planning to create vinyl stickers for your laptop’s case, look at the stickers others have created for their laptops. This will provide you with an idea of the size and color your designs will need to be.
Designing Your Design On Your Computer
If you don’t own Photoshop or Illustrator you can use a no-cost image editing software such as GIMP. Create your sketch using the tools for drawing and editing as well as scan the sketch and upload, and use it to create the design. If you’re working on a colored design, make sure you use bright, vivid colors that show beautifully when printed.
Check that the resolution for your artwork is at least 300 pixels per centimeter (2.5 millimeters).
Printing Vinyl Stickers
If you’ve set it correctly! Printing could take between 15 minutes and many hours. It is contingent upon the dimensions of the sticker but, most importantly, it’s based on how difficult the die-cut is. Die-cut stickers are stickers with a specific shape cut from them, with backing paper. They improve the look of stickers and are the option that we use in our studio.
Cut Out the Stickers
Sometimes we use kiss-cut instead of die-cutting stickers. This means we only cut through the layer of stickers instead of the back paper. If this is the case it is either cutting the roll of stickers into huge rolls or cutting them into distinct squares. This makes things neat and makes it easy to store.
Apply the vinyl laminate
The top layer of the vinyl is more fragile than normal adhesive vinyl. By themselves, the stickers are expected to last around one year, but they aren’t very water-resistant. However, if you shield them with a clear laminate, they will last up to five years and will withstand being washed.
- After the design is printed, you can place it on a firm flat surface.
- Beginning from one edge beginning at one edge, peel the backing off your transparent vinyl. Just peel off about an inch to begin.
- Place the edge of your laminate with the edge of your paper and then press it down gently to make sure there aren’t any wrinkles and air bubbles.
- Utilizing a ruler or scraper to smooth the laminate on the paper as you push the backing paper away.
- Utilize the same tool to smooth the laminate onto the vinyl. This will help the laminate stay in place and assist in getting rid of air bubbles.

They can bubble upwards on corrugated surfaces in addition to in the case that the channels are too compact. However, they adhere to all flat surfaces that you might imagine!
