Custom made stickers for your laptop

For AUD$20 (about USD$14, €12, £10) I will print and cut an A4 sheet of paper full of stickers from images you give me, then post them anywhere in the world. Here’s what they look like:

Sticker Inspiration

• Wikimedia – search for your favourite topic, there’s so many SVGs available.
• Discmaster – heaps of retro clip art and icons, filter your search by images.
• Google Image Search – search for what you’re after and restrict file type to SVG or high-res images.
• stickertop.art - browsing this gallery of user submitted laptops adorned in stickers can give you some ideas.
• Internet Archive – dig through old magazines/books, download original scans and remove the background in Photoshop.
• Decryption’s Sticker Stash – here’s my collection of images I think make interesting stickers, feel free to download them.
• Make your own! – bust open a vector drawing app, crack open an image editor, use a tablet on your iPad!

Image Requirements

Because the printed stickers aren’t that big, the images don’t need to be massive. Use this print size calculator to work out if your chosen image is high resolution enough. Aim for 300 DPI, which means if you want a 7cm × 7cm sticker, you need a roughly 900 × 900 pixel image.

JPEG, PNG or SVG files are fine. SVG is great as it means we can scale the image as big or as small as we need without quality loss as it is a vector, not a bitmap.

The stickers are printed on white paper, so anything transparent in the image will be "white" when printed.

There’s no need to add your own white border to an image if you want one - I’ll do that for you automatically.

Please remove the background from photos of objects/people/animals before uploading. There’s plenty of online tools to do this, I like using remove.bg, but if you’ve got Pixelmator/Photoshop/Affinity/Canva etc they’ll do it too.

If your image has a lot of fine details, it’ll be more difficult to make out when smaller – keep in mind that these stickers are between 4cm to 8cm in size. If you’re unsure, just ask! I can let you know if it’ll look good before you put your money down.

FAQ

How many images can I upload?

As many as you think will fit onto an A4 sheet of paper. Here’s an example of what that looks like before it gets cut up into individual stickers:

The more images you give me, the smaller I’ll need to make the stickers so they all fit on the page. Between 7 and 10 stickers works well.

How big are the stickers?

I think the best size for each sticker is between 5cm and 9cm. But if you want some smaller or bigger than that, just leave a message in the notes with your request and I’ll try my best to meet your requirements. Here’s some examples of different sticker sizes on a Lenovo T14s (click/tap to zoom in):

How long will the stickers take to arrive?

I do a print run at least once a week. The stickers are sent via Regular Letter for domestic and Economy Air Mail Letter for international to keep costs low. Visit the Australia Post postage calculator to see time estimates for Letters (not parcels) between postcode 3340 (Bacchus Marsh, where I live) and where you live.

Are there stickers you won’t make?

Orders with racist, mysognist or trans/homophobic images will be refunded immediately. Anything else that gives me hateful vibes will also be refunded. I’ll know what upsets me when I see it. Adult content is fine.

What’s your privacy/data retention policy?

I am a small business operator and technically do not have any responsibilities under the Australian Privacy Act, but I do have common sense and will treat your data and privacy the same way I expect mine to be treated. The images and details you provide me (name, address, email, etc) are deleted, totally gone, 45 days after your stickers ship. I have no interest in hoarding this stuff. Payment info is retained by Stripe and probably stored indefinetly. Web server access logs are stored by Cloudflare for up to a week. I don’t know of any other data I retain. The email address you give me will not be used for any purpose except informing you of your order.

Are the stickers waterproof/UV treated?

These stickers are designed for indoor use. They may last a few months, maybe even a year or two outside, but I can’t promise anything. On a laptop they’ll last years, probably longer than the laptop itself!

My stickers turned out crap, can I get a refund?

Sometimes expectation doesn’t meet reality. That’s okay, let me know what’s wrong and I’ll refund your money or send you a fresh batch of stickers.
