How to Turn Your Designs into Custom Stickers (and Sell Them Online)
Why Custom Stickers Are Perfect for Creators
Whether you're an illustrator, photographer, graphic designer, or meme-maker—custom stickers are one of the easiest ways to turn your creativity into a real product.
They’re affordable, low-risk, and highly shareable. Plus, people love collecting and sticking them on laptops, water bottles, journals, and more.
Step 1: Prepare Your Design Files
Before printing, make sure your artwork is:
- High resolution (at least 300 DPI)
- Saved in a transparent PNG or vector format
- Set up with clear edges for cutting (die-cut or kiss-cut)
If you're not sure how to prep your file, Adobe’s sticker design guide is a great starting point.
Step 2: Order a Sample First
Before you commit to a full batch, it’s smart to test a sample.
Try our $0.99 sample pack—it includes various sticker types so you can feel the texture, test adhesion, and check print quality.
Step 3: Upload and Customize
Once you’re happy with the quality, upload your own design for custom printing. At StickerGorillas, we offer:
