Choose your material<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This first step in the process is to determine what you are using your stickers for so that you can select the most cost-effective material to have them printed on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paper Stickers<br><\/strong>Paper stickers are cost-effective and often used to label products such as food, candles, bottles, tins, seal paper and packages, promotional freebies, wedding stickers\/seals or to embellish DIY projects. They are suitable for indoor use and you can choose from uncoated, matte or gloss. Kraft paper stickers have a natural tone that gives your sticker a homemade look and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vinyl Stickers<br><\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ozstickerprinting.com\/stickers\/vinyl?featured=1\" target=\"_blank\">Vinyl stickers<\/a>&nbsp;are durable, waterproof and are good for indoor and outdoor applications like bumper stickers, window decals, cosmetic products, wine bottles or fridge products. They are easy to apply and can be removed. Bumper stickers are weatherproof with UV protection. Choose from transparent, standard, pvc, bumper, wall, window and car decals, vinyl lettering, gold and silver vinyl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Specialty Stickers<br><\/strong>Specialty stickers have premium finishes and look impressive. Choose from luxurious foil, three-dimensional hologram, elegant embossed or 3D dome effect. These special finishes can add a touch of class to high quality products, weddings and events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-choose-your-shape\">3.

Choose your quantity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As with most printing, the more you that you print, the cheaper the price per sticker. This is because once the file is setup to print it is quite easy to print extra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-place-your-order\">6. Place your order<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ordering online is so easy. Most websites will show you the print price based on your selections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you place your order you will need to add your shipping details and make the payment. You will generally receive an online digital proof so please check it carefully. The printed colours may vary from the online proof depending on the lighting and the computer\/device colour settings that you view it on.&nbsp;<em>Be prepared for a slight colour variance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recently discovered&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ozstickerprinting.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Oz Sticker Printing<\/a>.
