Materials & equipment

What your stickers are made of, and what they're made on.

Matte vinyl, UV printed, spot glossed and die cut in Vancouver, WA.

Material

Matte Substance X1 vinyl

Our matte vinyl for every library sticker. We're testing more colors, including holographics and chromes.

Equipment

Roland wide-format UV printer

Prints your sticker and selectively spot glosses it, so the shiny parts shine against the matte.

Finish

UV printed and spot glossed

Laptop stickers get bumped around in bags and rarely sit in the sun. The ink is printed straight onto the vinyl, so there are no layers to peel and no layers for water to seep into. Roland's UV ink is good for about a year outdoors before it fades, and our water bottles survive the dishwasher again and again.

Equipment

Die cut on a matte backing

Every sticker is up to 4.5 × 4.5 inches, cut to its shape on the matte backing.

Software

Our serializer

We vibe coded a serializer that stamps your sticker's number onto the image as it sells, right before it heads to the print queue.
