Stickers aren’t just for teachers to stick smiley faces on papers anymore. These simple adhesives are used to brand your company, individualize your MP3 player and even personalize your car’s bumper. There are actually numerous companies that specialize in making custom stickers. However, only StickerYou receives our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award for their vast sticker collection, step-by-step guidance, low minimum order requirements and quick turnaround time. StickerYou is the best custom sticker site we reviewed because it has the ability for you to design a sticker directly on their website.
StickerYou comes with more than a dozen categories of stickers and labels you can design. Custom stickers for wine labels, CD/DVD labels, scrapbooks, entertainment and business logos are all within grasp using StickerYou. We liked how organized the product selection was, which made it much easier to navigate throughout the company website. When you click on a category, a collection of images appear that you can use on your own sticker. There is a large assortment of attractive pre-designed stickers to choose from if you don't want to spend the time to create your own design.
We found the die-cut stickers cut with precision. Die-cut stickers are cut following the outline of the sticker’s design. If you don’t want this close of a cut, StickerYou offers the option of adding a padding between the design and the sticker’s cut. Padding gives the sticker a small white border between the design and the sticker’s edge. Padding is included if the design on your sticker is a solid color or if the design’s edge contains a 1/16” solid outline.
These custom stickers are designed to last a long, long time. StickerYou prints their stickers on vinyl, not paper. This makes the stickers more durable so they won't rip or bend when you pull off a sticker’s backing. One of our favorite design features of StickerYou’s products is how well they last outside. The ink on the stickers is UV resistant, so they should withstand the sun’s UV rays and avoid any fading. They are also waterproof, which we loved. The ink will not smear and the sticker will not curl from heavy rain or snow. The stickers are built with a special adhesive that forms a strong hold but is very easy to remove when you want to move them. The adhesive is easy to peel and you don’t see any sticky adhesive left behind.
The Sticker Maker feature makes this site stand apart from the rest. Sticker Maker allows you to create and design your sticker directly on their website without the hassle of meeting art requirements such as file formats, the number of pixels and determining the exact sticker dimensions. To begin Sticker Maker, you first decide what type of sticker you want to design: a blank sticker page, wine labels, CD/DVD labels, etc. You then pick the size of the sticker and let your creative juices flow. You can choose from a selection of readymade stickers or you can also upload your own image and design the sticker using that graphic or photo. Once the image is loaded onto the page you can add text, color and sizing requirements to your liking. When it's complete, you send the sticker to your cart and StickerYou takes care of the rest.
However, you don’t have to design your sticker using the Sticker Maker feature. If you are interested in using a type of program outside Sticker Maker, or using an image you find elsewhere, you can simply upload any design to StickerYou. So if graphic design isn't your forte, you can avoid all the editing and creative designing while in Sticker Maker and just concentrate on the size and quantity of the custom stickers.
We found navigation through this custom stickers website to be easy and straightforward. We were able to find the category of sticker we wanted, and the Sticker Maker walked us through step by step on what we needed to create our finished product. A price sheet was available to us on the homepage so we had a price range before we invested too much time for a sticker that was out of our budget.
The site also comes with an idea page that provides a wide range of ideas for your custom stickers. We found the site to apply to individuals of all ages. It gave ideas to business leaders, teenagers, college students and moms with and without children.
Compared to many similar sites, this custom stickers site lets you order just one sticker. It caters to individuals who want a single sticker, or a large organization that is in the market for several hundred stickers. Many sites have a minimum order of 100 to 250 stickers. But with StickerYou, you can order just one bumper sticker or one sticker for a wall décor. Not many sites we reviewed were so flexible that they had absolutely no minimum order.
You can tell from their return policy that this custom stickers site is about making the customer happy. If you are not satisfied with your purchase for any reason within 45 days of purchase, you simply fill out a customer service request form and they will give you your money back or replace your stickers. Also, if you are interested in ordering more of the stickers you had previously designed and purchased, StickerYou allows you to reorder any previous sticker design.
This custom stickers site caters to your needs. If you have questions you would like answered, there are multiple ways to communicate with this custom stickers site. Phone and email support are both available, and you can always check out their Facebook and Twitter accounts. These social networking sites also give you a platform to talk about the company, provide feedback and share your experience with other customers. The FAQs section of the website is very thorough; almost every question we had regarding details of the site and the design process had answers located in the section.
StickerYou is a user-friendly site that is designed for individuals who know little about design and print requirements. For individuals who feel they need a little extra design help, this website contains several graphics and images to aid in the step-by-step process. If you become lost or don’t understand what you are being asked to do, through screenshots and graphics, directions will point to everything you need. Most of these step-by-step directions are found in the FAQs and Help sections of this custom stickers website.
The StickerYou custom stickers site is simple to use, even if you have little knowledge or experience with sticker printing. Their stickers are durable and built to last, and we loved their ability to withstand tough weather conditions. StickerYou is an easy-to-use web service that offers step-by-step guidance so you can make any sticker you can envision. We enjoyed being able to create our sticker directly on the site using the Sticker Maker feature and found the ability to search for images directly on the site a wonderful bonus.
