Sticker design - How to make custom stickers (part 1)

Learn design fundamentals and how they apply to sticker design in part 1 of Sticker Mule's guide to making custom stickers.

How to open a Sticker Mule store

Back in June, we [announced](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/june-2024-updates) our launch of Stores in beta.

We’re happy to announce that Stores is now officially open for business to anyone who wants to [sell stickers online](https://www.stickermule.com/stores/learn-more). That means that any Sticker Mule customer can create a storefront and sell not just stickers but any other product that Sticker Mule supports, including t-shirts, magnets, buttons, keychains, coasters, posters, and of course, hot sauce with your very own design.

Unlike online marketplaces like eBay, Etsy, and Amazon, we don’t charge any fees to set up your store. When a customer buys a product, we charge you the same base price as for custom sticker orders. You can set your own markup, and any profit you earn is yours to keep—no extra fees.

Furthermore you don’t need to worry about setting up a storefront, taking orders, calculating sales tax, packaging, shipping your orders, or handling customer service questions. We’ll cover all of that for you. 

##How to set up your Sticker Mule store

If you have a Sticker Mule account, you already have a “My store” option in the drop-down in the upper-right corner. Click to expand it and select My store (or just [click here](https://www.stickermule.com/me) if you're signed in).

(Your store will be invisible to users and search engines until you add at least one product to it).

1. Click on the __Edit__ button to get to the __Edit Store__ screen. ![screen to edit your custom sticker store](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/aad904d6-55ec-4d38-a690-31b128cdd434)

1. Upload a 2000x500 image for your Store’s cover photo. This is what will show up on the top of your store pages. Make sure it is consistent with your company’s branding. You can download and use this 2000x500 image as a guide.![2000x500 image](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/21ccac0c-2c76-44ac-98ff-78cefe5108c9)

1. Upload a __profile picture__. This will appear with your cover photo on your storefront, and may also appear if you leave comments or reviews on the site. Any square image will work; we suggest you use a 400x400 image that's the same you use on social media like X, Facebook, or Instagram. 

1. Enter a __Display name__. This will appear as the main headline on your store page, as well as in your Store URL’s Title Tag for SEO. 

1. Enter a __Username__. By default we assign a random set of characters to every new store. Be sure to change it to something that represents you or your brand. This will be used in the URL for your store (www.stickermule.com/*username*).

1. Enter your __Bio__. You have a total of 200 characters, including spaces. Tell the world about yourself, what designs you specialize in, and what kinds of products you plan on selling. 

1. Enter a __Website URL__. We’ll create a link from your Store page to this URL to help users find your main site. As a bonus, you get some freshly squeezed SEO juice.

##How to list a product

In order to list a product, you must have already purchased it at least once. This can cost as low as $9 if you order one of our [custom samples](https://www.stickermule.com/samples). 

We do this so you can be sure your customers are getting a product that you’ve personally seen and approved in real life. 

You can choose any product from the “Products” menu and go through Sticker Mule’s famously simple process to create it. Our most popular products for consumers are [stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers), [magnets](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-magnets), [acrylic keychains](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-keychains), and [T-shirts](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-t-shirts). 

Once you’ve created your item, here’s how to list it.

1. Select __My Store__ from the upper right-hand corner.
1. Click the orange__ \+ Add item__ button.
1. All of the products you’ve ordered in the past will appear. Select the one you want to sell.
4. Enter the following:

![product information for selling stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/6f7a6756-6023-4649-98a5-bef5514bf059)

 - __Title: __This is the name of your product that’ll appear on your product page, as well as in the Title Tag. __Hint:__ Include the type of product in the title. For example, if you’re selling a t-shirt with the image of a cute dog, enter “Cute Dog T-Shirt”.

 - __Markup: __By default, your product will be set to a base price that will cover Sticker Mule’s production and fulfillment costs. You can apply a markup to define the profit you’d like to make on each sale. For example, if the base price of a T-shirt is $19 and you add a markup of 20%. Your customers will pay a total of $22.80 for the shirt, and you’ll earn $3.80 in profit from the sale. You’ll need to verify your identity before you can set markups. See the tip "Maximize your earnings" below for more details.

 - __Mature content: __if your design shows images that you wouldn’t want grandma to see, please check this box.

##__Additional tips and tricks to help you sell stickers__

-  __Create a vanity URL on your domain: __If you have your own website, ask your technical team to create a vanity URL from your domain to your Sticker Mule Store.

 - For example, if your company is at the domain "yourcompany.com", create a redirect at "yourcompany.com/stickers" that redirects to your Sticker Mule store.
 - Show this to whoever manages your Web site; they should know what to do with it.
 - ```
RewriteEngine On```
```
RewriteRule ^stickers$ https://www.stickermule.com/yourcompany [R=301,L]
```

- __Link to your store: __Link to [your Store](https://www.stickermule.com/me) from your website and social media accounts. 

- __Test potential sticker designs digitally:__ Have your designer create some digital stickers on Facebook and see which ones resonate with your audience. Turn the winning designs into physical stickers. 

![turn your digital designs into real life stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/1394b214-d341-40fd-9d27-e1338ddd650e)

- __Make stickers that people will want to show off: __Remember that your stickers are as much about making your customers look good as making you look good. Create designs that they’ll be proud to show off and that will elicit a positive reaction from their friends and family.

![make stickers that your customers will want to show off](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/9d853d44-fd97-41f0-9ad0-dd20ff8bf04e)

- __Create scarcity: __While you’ll want to always be selling certain branded designs (e.g. your logo or tagline), consider creating limited edition designs for your most loyal fans to collect. These may be seasonal, commemorative, or other one-off designs. If a limited edition design takes off, fight the urge to flood the market with more; you’ll have more success in the long-run.

![create collectible stickers with scarcity](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a01d5799-ab88-493d-bcf1-6f6dfa9dc760)

- __Engage with your fans:__ Ask them to post photos of them with your products, such as wearing your T-shirt or showing your stickers on laptops and water bottles. Encouraging your fans to pose with your products does three things: your brand gets out-of-home advertising, you get earned media online, and most importantly, you give your fans something that makes them look good to *their* fans.

![social media feed with people showing off](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/9c48c5fe-ef1f-4906-8877-962a1e503084)

- __Maximize your earnings:__ Once you [verify](https://www.stickermule.com/get-verified) your identity with us, you’ll be able to earn money two ways.

 - Set [markups](https://www.stickermule.com/support/how-do-i-markup-an-item-for-sale-in-my-store) on your products. It might take some trial and error before you find the perfect balance of affordability and profit.

 - Earn a 10% [commission](https://www.stickermule.com/commissions) on any purchase a customer you refer makes for one year (this includes your products, a product on any other store, or a custom product from Sticker Mule).

 - Note that in order to create markups and earn commissions, you’ll need to verify your identification. You’ll need a state-issued photo ID and a device with a Webcam. We partner with Persona, a leading identity verification provider, to ensure that your information is securely protected. Once you’re verified we’ll ask you to enter a PayPal ID so we can pay you.

- Our most important advice for how to create stickers that'll sell? Use the "ooh!" test. Print a bunch of sample stickers and show them to your family and friends. If they smile politely, those won't sell. If they go "ooh!" and want one then and there—you've got a winner.

Visit our [Help](https://www.stickermule.com/support/stores) section for more answers to questions about Stores, and be sure to follow [this blog](https://www.stickermule.com/blog) over the coming weeks and months for new announcements and tips to help you succeed. 

Happy selling!

How to make stickers look professional

Stickers are great for business and branding. But no one wants ugly stickers. And your business might not have a big design budget. So how do you make high-quality, aesthetically pleasing [stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers)?

Here are 8 tips anyone can use to make their sticker designs look professional.

##1. Define your brand identity
Your business should have its own personality. Who are you trying to sell to? What is your message? Your visual identity should reinforce these ideas.

Before you get to the design itself, put your Art Director hat on and decide what your brand identity should look like. Use a tool like [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/) to gather ideas and create a mood board for your brand identity.

![pinterest mood board](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/43f5d669-d485-46b4-80ea-d9fa81d48c43)

Try to narrow it down as much as possible – it’s important to have a consistent style.

##2. Choose the right color palette
Colors impact the perception of your brand.

Each color evokes an emotion. Blue = trust. Green = nature. Yellow = creativity.

![color meaning chart](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a1dcdbfe-ae75-4d61-bdae-6c09de732d14)

Decide on 1-2 main colors you want to represent your brand.

Use a free tool like [Coolors](https://coolors.co/) to create a color palette.

##3. Select appropriate typography
The font you choose for your brand is very important. Study the designs you like from your mood board. Identify attributes in the fonts that might work best for your brand.

Use a site like [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/) to browse and download free fonts.

###Serif vs sans-serif
![serif-vs-sans-serif](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/377d1d16-6034-4720-a650-6f8600dd9e0b)

Serifs are the fancy little decorations on the ends of each letter.

Serif fonts are often used to convey a formal, serious tone. While sans-serif fonts convey a friendly, casual tone.

###Font weight
![font-weight-comparison](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/b5aa4b64-ac1b-4779-a1dd-4eab7e4218ff)

Many fonts include multiple variations of weight (i.e. light, normal, bold).

The thickness of your font will also impact the tone of your brand. Thinner fonts usually convey a more delicate, feminine tone. While bolder fonts convey a strong, masculine tone.

##4. Use high-quality images and graphics
Anything you print should be at least [300 pixels per inch](https://www.stickermule.com/support/artwork-ppi). This will ensure your stickers don’t look pixelated or blurry.

If you have various versions of your logo or design, use a vector file (.pdf, .ai, .eps)  if possible. [Vector graphics can be scaled infinitely](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/raster-vs-vector-images) without losing resolution. You can transform any image to vector format for $14 using [Redraw](https://www.stickermule.com/redraw).

![low-resolution-to-high-resolution](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/7ee84f9b-b9ae-4b2a-b680-2dba3790f679)

Or if you have a particular photo or image that you need to use, but it’s not high resolution – you can make high resolution with another free tool, [Upscale](https://www.stickermule.com/upscale).

##5. Keep your design simple
You can create high quality designs using our free design tool, [Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio). Choose from hundreds of professional templates or start from scratch.

The best sticker designs are usually simple.

![qr-code-stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/3c286be7-2ed8-44e0-860e-79821771e44f)

Don’t include more information than you need. If you want to include some sort of contact information, consider limiting it to one form of contact (i.e. email address). Or you can add a [QR code](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-make-custom-qr-code-stickers) to direct people to a specific landing page.

##6. Experiment with shapes
Keep in mind that die cut stickers will automatically be cut to fit the shape of your design. This works great for plenty of designs and most logo stickers.

![die-cut-stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/1ffda9cb-be36-4005-a9bc-6bfec5919d56)

But depending on your design and brand, you might want to go for a more traditional shape, like [circle stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/circle-stickers), [square stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/square-stickers), [rectangle stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/rectangle-stickers), [oval stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/oval-stickers), or [rounded corner stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/rounded-corner-stickers).

##7. Consider the finish
Any sticker is going to look good with a matte finish. But depending on your design you may want to try a holographic or glitter material to give your stickers a unique shine.

![matte-vs-holo-vs-glitter-stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/d43a7d59-734d-4639-8dd1-878f08273052)

##8. Get feedback and iterate
Before committing to a large batch of stickers, you can order [custom samples](https://www.stickermule.com/samples). This is a good option for testing your design in real life.

![sticker-irl](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a2f228d0-266b-4998-9d39-c35454bcaf86)

Give some stickers away and ask your friends and coworkers for feedback. They might be perfect or you might need to tweak a few things. Shop with confidence when it’s time to place a larger order. And you can even save money when you order multiple designs at the same time.

##Conclusion
Getting professional stickers doesn’t require a professional designer. Be thoughtful about what you want, look to other designs for inspiration, and always be willing to experiment.

Here are 8 tips anyone can use to make their sticker designs look professional.

Introducing full-color, printed transfer stickers

Full-color [printed transfer stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/printed-transfer-stickers) are here!

People already love [transfer stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/transfer-stickers) (aka vinyl decals). But full-color printing has been [one of the most requested features](https://stickermule.canny.io/products/p/printed-transfer-stickers). Our engineers have been hard at work, building the cutting-edge machines that now make this possible.

<WistiaVideo videoId="oc38ypapa0" />

##What are printed transfer stickers?
Standard transfer stickers aren’t actually printed at all. They are cut to the exact shape of each piece of a design. This is why they only come in all-black or all-white. This works fine for many designs, but of course, has its limitations.

![black transfer stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/3ef7faf6-2c57-4fbc-8cc7-59b3abef6df2)

Printed transfer stickers are made with the extra step of… printing. This lets you add virtually any color, mix of colors, shades, or gradients you want to your stickers. All made with the same durable vinyl and precise cutting that have made our transfer stickers so popular.

![full color printed transfer stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/b331e026-22e8-4e38-9ce5-67d7188be0cb)

##How to apply printed transfer stickers
A special tape holds your design together, making it easy to apply your transfer stickers. To apply, slowly pull the transfer tape from the paper backing. Next, place the sticker on your desired surface and then use your fingers to apply pressure across the face of the sticker, making sure it properly adheres. You can also use a credit card to reinforce the adhesion.

Remember: Printed transfer stickers look best when applied to smooth surfaces — think windows, laptops, or cars.

If your design is particularly delicate, you may want to wait 24 hours before removing the transfer tape. When it’s ready, slowly peel the transfer tape off to reveal your full color design.

<YouTubeVideo videoId="nrCXwMu6qw4" />

##How to order printed transfer stickers

![ricky berwick custom hot sauce](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/a349c5df-d7a9-40b3-b548-3f58306cf025)

*Globally recognized social media sensation Ricky Berwick is partnering with Sticker Mule to captivate audiences worldwide.* 

__AMSTERDAM, NY, Aug. 14, 2024__ – Sticker Mule, the Internet's most kick-ass brand, is excited to announce the arrival of its new White Label Hot Sauce, allowing customers to customize Sticker Mule's award-winning “Mule Sauce” with their own branding. 

To boost the debut of White Label Hot Sauce, Sticker Mule partnered with Internet personality Ricky Berwick. Together, they launched a [marketing campaign](https://x.com/stickermule/status/1823491742986850535) to promote this major new product.

"Mule Sauce started as a dare but it's become a sensation with 1 million bottles shipped annually. Now, with white label hot sauce, we're allowing everyone to use our award-winning recipe to promote their business, brand or just have fun," said Anthony Constantino, CEO of Sticker Mule. 

Since launching in 2019, Mule Sauce has become a fan-favorite condiment, earning a loyal following with its unique sweet heat and versatility that enhances any dish. Mule Sauce has quickly positioned itself as an everyday hot sauce, rivaling iconic hot sauces like Tabasco, Frank's RedHot, and Sriracha.

“If you’re an influencer, you’re an idiot if you don’t buy white label mule sauce to grow your brand. I’m buying it and selling it because I’m not an idiot and because it’s delicious,” said Ricky Berwick. 

Sticker Mule’s white label hot sauce is perfect for restaurants, brands, influencers, or as a unique gift. Customers can easily upload their design, and Sticker Mule will prepare an FDA-compliant label. Or, start with a design template and create a label using Sticker Mule's intuitive [design tool, Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio).

How to make custom QR code stickers

QR codes make it easy to direct people to a specific webpage, share WiFi, share contact information, and more.

With QR scanners being built directly into iPhone and Android cameras, there’s never been a better time to add custom QR codes to your IRL marketing and promotions.

As easy as QR code stickers are for people to use, they’re just about as easy for you to make.

##How to generate a custom QR code (free)
Generating a QR code is simple and doesn’t require any technical expertise.

First, head to [Studio](https://www.stickermule.com/studio). Studio is a completely free and easy to use online design tool for non-designers.

![design online, fast](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/065a5f14-5761-456f-81c9-20655af02b2b)

Click the *Create design* button.

Next, click the *Graphics* tab on the left side.

Here, you’ll see a handful of QR code styles. Each one is completely customizable. Select the design you want and it will get added to your artboard.

With the QR code design still selected you can choose between 4 different QR code types:
- URL
- WiFi
- Contact
- PDF

Select the type you want, fill out the necessary fields, and then click Generate QR code. The QR code on your artboard will automatically be updated. You can pull out your phone and instantly test the QR code for yourself.

With your custom QR code made, you can adjust the size, design, and colors however you like. Just be sure that the QR code itself has enough contrast with the background so it remains easily readable.

When you’re happy with your design, you can share it, download it, or immediately order prints.

##How to order custom QR code stickers
If you designed your QR code in Studio, click the Order prints button.

![Use QR codes for custom prints](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/600f507f-998e-45b0-8801-865f494c5d08)

From here you can adjust the size and quantity, then order your [custom QR codes stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/die-cut-stickers). Or browse other products to make [QR code magnets](https://www.stickermule.com/products/custom-magnets), [QR code floor graphics](https://www.stickermule.com/products/floor-graphics), and [more](https://www.stickermule.com/more).

If you already have a QR code design, simply order any of our [custom stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers), then upload your design file.

Shortly after checkout, you’ll get an online proof showing how your custom QR code stickers will look before they’re printed. You can test the QR code and request changes to the design for free until you’re happy.
