These are the cutest thing x3

Thank you!!

your zap sticker look rather fine, i did plan to print stickers there but when i saw my friends ones i was very dissapointed actually, because the print is really grainy and gritty looking from closeup and spme of these gritty points even went over the lines. im seeing this in other peoples pzap prints too ,so she didnt do anything wrong i guess. i dont see yours from very close but overall they seem to look better

Hmm, if you look reeallly closely, you can see the dots on these ones too. It seems to depend a bit on what colours you use! Black and light blue not so bad but I've noticed some complex colours like browns can come out pretty bleh.

I actually prefer to print with Stickermule when I can but they won't do the really close cuts to the art like ZAP does (everything has to have a border) so I'm still stuck with ZAP for some things... Stickermule has really nice print quality though!

i like that zap allows you to have 5 different designs within the 50 sheets you must order, but their sizes are so tiny for the not so neat print, when I just think about the price. I don´t know how stickermule is with these things. I really like that zap does closer cuts though. Do you put the thick extra border under the actual image layer,so that in case it is not cut that exact, you wont see a difference?

Yeah, the extra border is just in case the kiss cut is off by a little bit. I don't /have/ to include it but it's safer to do so. In terms of pricing, Stickermule is more expensive (thought there's discounts for ordering a lot). Stickermule has free shipping while ZAP ships out of the UK so that makes a difference. They both have their pros and cons.

yea i guess so, i should take a look at them. do they also offer different designs within the order? is their shipping free worldwide? if not its even better from Uk since i live in germany

You can have up to five designs, I think. Depends how many you order too though!

Out of curiosity (looking up a few different places in before FurDU at the moment); which print-place(s) do you recommend?

The one I recommend right now would be Stickermule. There's some limitations with Stickermule - stickers can't be smaller than an inch and there has to be a certain amount of clearance in between stickers on a sheet. Also they don't do full bleed kiss cuts - they insist on some clearance around the art ...Some other stuff, probably. But they make the sturdiest stickers and have a pretty quick turnaround. So I've been using Stickermule a lot lately. They end up being quite inexpensive if you arrange a bunch of smaller sticker sheets on a bit 8.5x11" sheet and then cut up the smaller sheets yourself. And they give good discounts if you order lots at once so I try to pool orders with other people when possible!

The other one I've used a lot is ZAP! Creatives (they printed these Toothless stickers). They do allow full bleed kiss cut stickers, and have no restrictions on size or complexity of cuts, unlike Stickermule. However, their stickers don't have a layer of laminate over them like Stickermule's does, so I've found the ink eventually wears off if the sticker is subject to a lot of friction (like, on a phone or outside of a book - something that gets jostled around a lot). So even though I like a lot of things about ZAP, I've gone off using them a bit. They've talked about introducing lamination on their stickers some time this year but it hasn't been implemented yet. Hanging around for that! They may become the superior sticker printer if/when that happens. They've mentioned wanting to get into metallic and glow in the dark stickers, too, so I'm waiting with baited breath. :D

I'm probably gonna place a Stickermule order for FurDU myself, if you'd be interested in pooling with me. :3c I have to place the order in the next week though! I'm literally working on some new art to place an order right now. x) Placing a big enough order can get discounts of 30+%, which is nice! And shipping is "free" so that's not a worry. I live close to the Gold Coast, so would be happy to have the stickers delivered to me and bring them up with me so you wouldn't have to carry up as much stuff too.

uwaah! ^_^ sounds like an idea~!
(I've actually just placed a short 10-piece order with them to check their quality/colour profiling, and yo, they're prices are quite decent) but am still getting in a few other quotes from both local and Australian/interstate firms also (Found this rad place called eSticker that offer a VERY competitive price on the amount of vinyl [5year life-span outside they boast!] stickers I'm after w/ die-cutting included! so leaning toward them more and more, and hopefully they will be nice enough to forward along a sample-swatch before ordering a full batch)

Will let you know how that turns up if they end up sending that out/the quality is good, if you want! :3
-But yo, failing that group might take you up on the split-ordering! ^_^ (even for the sticker-sheet designs still, just hinging on how good this other places' product ends up being, and if they offer a similar sheet-style or not!)

Thanks so much for the offer, and info~! :D

Ah yes, if you're looking to get like...125+ pieces per design, there are some cheaper places! I usually only get about 50 at a time so Stickermule is perf for me.

Anyway, just message me on Facebook I guess if you wanna combine orders and hopefully I won't have already submitted my order. Still working on art for at least the next few days!

*same same :P (so much to doooooooo!)
But chya, indeed looking at getting about 300/600 stickers for my first stock-batch, so I may end up going with onea' the places found (tossing up between two now that are fairly competitively priced, one is is local and offering physical samples before a commitment to purchase which I'll hopefully get my hands on in the next week)

Be good to see their respective qualities anyways ^_^
-But thanks for offer, and potentially some time again in the future!
