    Thank you for the super helpful video! I've seen it a while ago and came back hoping to find an answer to this, but what method would you recommend to ship larger prints (11x17) alongside smaller items like pins and charms? Would you ship the print separately or do a shipping tube + box combo. I'm scratching my head a bit on this one because I don't see many artists selling large prints online and if they do, they often use third party websites like INPRNT to handle it separately. Also, if you ever made a video on shipping tips and tricks, that would be awesome! Thanks in advance! ღゝ◡╹)ノ♡

    Silhouette is a good alternative for Cricut machines. some of their models are a bit cheaper, and they do the trick. If you're cutting with scissors, my best tip is to hold the scissors in place and move the sticker around. I've been told that some of my early stickers looked machine cut, despite being cut with scissors. Another big tip is to print out the cut-line at a very low opacity, so you know approximately where to cut and end up with more even results

    I never realized how popular making stickers would be! They don’t bring in a ton of profit, but people seem to love them. I do a similar thing when planning out stickers, but usually focus on size and color and if I’d like holographic or not. I also try to think how that design can be used in different products like keychains, prints, etc. When I first started, I used sticker mule which aren’t the best and they are a problematic company. I didn’t realize that years ago. I’ve also used sticker bunnies which are great, but they have a slow turn around time as they’re a small business!! But they have affordable pricing and no minimum quantity. A year or so back, I decided to get a cricut and do it myself. While that can be a challenge I can test what designs sell that way.

    THIS is the kind of stuff we need! I feel like so many people gate-keep this information. Thank you for putting together this video and sharing! Could consider going a bit more in-depth on specifically the Alibaba-type process (stickers, enamel pins, magnets, prints/vines/booklets, cards, standees, etc.,), in the future? I think many of us would love to learn from it! My main concern regarding Alibaba would be how to approach the sellers, red flags to look for, how to look for 'quality', and are there any sellers out there that you'd recommend! I would also be interested in knowing what the Alibaba sellers expect from the artist so that we could prepare our files properly ahead of time, much like how you went over it in this video (what DPI is standard, what layering they would want for special cases like foiling or holographic stuff, etc.). Do you know of any sellers that are willing to produce smaller amounts (x20/x50/x100)? Any that are willing to produce samples (free or paid) before commitment? Do any provide videos of samples if they don't want to send a sample to you? I have so many questions lmao. I've been wanting to produce merch for cons maybe 5 years now, but I always chicken out because I'm small and don't have anyone to ask. I'm really afraid of making an investment and it going wrong on the first step or just wasting money on a red flag that I should've known about. Thank you again for such an in-depth video!

      Depends on you really, I always get multiple quotes from different companies on there and then use those that negotiating with the one that I think will do the better job.

    How important is it to you how weatherproof/scratchproof the material is? I've gone through several manus and make stickers at home too, but I never really know what finish is "okay enough" to sell as vinyl stickers, yknow. Will the customer assume outdoor usage is OK? If they can't put it on their water bottle and run it through the dishwasher, should I state that on my display? Wonder if you've ever had any complaints or customer remarks about this, or like... What your strategy is. I love what stickerapp can do with their different materials, but found them to wear down relatively fast compared to other manus, for example, and with that in mind I find their pricing hard to justify.

    • @Inkwell
      @Inkwell 11 дней назад

      I think waterproof is important, personally I wouldn’t consider making a sticker that isn’t somewhat water proof, you end up cutting out to many customers without it. But it also depends what price point you’re trying to fill in your catalog.
