Lever 2: size
Price tracks square inches. Dropping a design from 4x4 to 3x3 cuts about a third off the unit price and usually reads exactly the same on a laptop or water bottle.
Lever 3: material
White vinyl is the baseline. Clear adds 10%, holographic adds 22%. If the design has a solid background, white vinyl looks identical and costs less.
Lever 4: laminate
Premium UV laminate is included by default and is what carries the 5+ year outdoor rating. The economy option removes the laminate layer and takes 15% off, which is workable for indoor use, packaging seals and short campaigns. For anything living outdoors, keep the laminate.
What not to cut
Skipping laminate entirely, printing on paper stock, or buying from a broker who can not tell you what press ran your job. Unlaminated vinyl fades and scratches within a season outdoors, which makes it the most expensive sticker you can buy per year of service.
Related questions
- Is it cheaper to print stickers at home?
- For under about 25 pieces, sometimes. Beyond that, inkjet sticker paper, a cutting machine and your time cost more per unit than a commercial run, and home prints are not UV-laminated so they will not survive outdoors.
- Do you have a minimum order?
- 25 stickers. There are no setup fees, so a small order costs only the stickers.
