Here are five steps to produce stickers:

  1. Artwork:

You need a workstation computer and artwork software for designing your sticker. So put your personal computer to work and design the sticker. Design the graphics, choose layout, select words on the sticker and make a soft copy for the printer.

  1. Production:

The artwork is sent to the printing press or your printer when finalized. The stickers are then printed on the big sheets of paper or plastic sheets. There are multiple numbers of stickers on one sheet.

  1. Cutting:

When all sheets are out of printing machine, there comes a need to cut them into small pieces. So every sticker sheet is cut into small pieces. It is a manual process. It requires labor.

  1. Lamination:

When all stickers’ sheets become small pieces, they are laminated. The lamination makes a sticker shinning, prolong its life and make it weather resistant.

  1. Die Cutting:

When you have laminated all stickers, they are in square or rectangular shape but you need to cut them into the desired shape. For this, you need a die. Make a die according to the size of your desired shape and cut all stickers with the die. And then your stickers are ready to use.

If you are going to get into a sticker business or needs stickers for your business, then you should be careful and thoughtful before ordering or producing them on your own. At first, you need to know the sticker making process.
