    Those would be cool! I wish I could find a site where you could do an affordable run of just like 20 stickers. Either you pay out the ass or you buy over 100 of one sticker at a time.

      Redbubble isn’t too bad if you get like 5 they cut the price for all stickers. My wife uploads stuff there and then orders it haha

        Yeah, they’re not terrible, but still more than I would pay for what’s essentially a laminated printout that costs them pennies. Plus, like you said, you have to order five different stickers to get a discount.

        I am doing a fun and silly thing with my daughter where whenever she gets an A on a test, she gets to put a sticker of one of our dogs on a world map. We have two dogs. I basically had to plan to order over 100 stickers of each dog if I didn’t want to pay out the ass. I ended up just ordering over 100 of just one dog for $25. A good per-sticker price, but it would have been nice to just order 20 of each dog and not pay a ridiculous amount.

        I worked in a similar industry for a couple of years doing graphic design (custom box printing) and I know how little this sort of thing costs. Especially when your customers are submitting their own designs and you don’t need to do anything because it’s all automated.

          They do have 50 percent discounts every other month or so in my experience for stickers but yea you’re right you have to order a minimum of like 10 usually for the discount to apply.

        Thanks. The only problem with those is that they don’t cut out the sticker around the shape of the image, which just isn’t as cool for a sticker. But I’ll bear it in mind.
