How to make Pro-Quality WATERPROOF STICKERS (2020 Updated)

[@OneHardyHouseplant]

Man everybody in the comments big mad about the price of the 100 sheets of sticker paper. You guys do realize online a roll of 100 labels / stickers is $100? If i can put 6 of my business labels on each page i can have over 600! It’s sooo much more affordable!!! Thanks for the video.

[@TheBruceAllen]

The voice of reason. Thankyou.

[@veexo9115]

On Avery.com its $12 🤨 for 96 where are you spending 100? 😂

[@LiquidGas0]

Xoxo Vxo print shops charge that for a roll

[@STICKYArt]

@@LiquidGas0 print shops be charging a hefty markup.

[@GuardianAngelEatos]

People are getting mad about that?! For the gloss sheet of paper right now It's only 55 cents a sheet not including tax! Even if you only put one eight inch sticker on there, that is still much cheaper than buying stickers from someone online! My only problem is that I am not good with cutting and placing images right so that part of it doesn't get cut out. I always mess up when it comes to cutting and placing images. I wish that there was a way to tell before printing if part of an image would get cut out. Actually, this Isn't vinyl paper, so is this paper good for making stickers that you would place on surfaces like a phone, laptop, car, etc?

I started a printing business and wow. A lot of people don’t know how to get full high quality prints with high gloss paper. I’ve had to redo so many prints that other company’s mess up. I do gotta say that I like your method for waterproofing

[@GlobalDesignHD]

How do you do it sir?

[@tephwilliams]

Awesome video, thanks! I just want to add that it's possible the sticker won't be waterproof if you use an inkjet printer, it's going to depend on the ink your printer uses as they are all different. Buying "weatherproof" sticker paper will help with this, but it still might not make it 100% waterproof without laminating it, so make sure to run some tests before assuming your stickers are waterproof.

[@samk8005]

This is a super important comment. I got to the end of the video and I was so confused - your stickers are not going to be waterproof just from printing on top of something that's waterproof.

[@stich1960]

You can coat any kind of paper in shellac in a spray can (couple light coats not heavy ones) done it for stickers bus cards etc. I wouldn't submerge it but it crazy ups the durability

Thank u bruda! Great tutorial

[@BrianForTheWin]

Waterproof sticker paper is great as your stickers won’t disintegrate when exposed to moisture. However, won’t the ink from any inkjet print still run if it gets wet and has not been laminated? Just looking for clarification here. Thanks!

[@WoddyPecker]

Mine were waterproof, but they disintegrated in the sun sadly. Trying to fix that

[@jadenshaw8916]

[@847MicRoss]

But he didnt show cutting out the sticker in general.

[@etanetan2266]

This was awesome info! Thanks for sharing. Now I can make quality stickers on a budget!

[@summerr350]

You could print to a home inkjet printer as a print and cut and cut on silhouette cameo.this way you don’t have to leave your home, and continue making great diy projects.

[@TheBruceAllen]

I did recommend home printing. Kinkos is just an option.

[@Daniel-ch52]

Just notice that glossy paper and Cameo or cricut don't play well, lots of frustration learning that one

[@rochelle..]

@@Daniel-ch52 I set my reg marks to darkest on the cameo. And so far haven’t had a problem. If you do upside to the cameo is the reg marks are only in the corners so you can use small bits of tape to dull the shine unlike the cricut you have to tape over the whole registration box (if it’s too glossy to read).

[@Thomas-rh1kz]

Thank you Bruce, I appreciate this information 🙏

[@morenitaisabel2721]

I totally enjoyed watching you mad entertaining lmaoooooo🤣🤣🤣

[@RHEITKAMPERJR]

What do you use to cut them? I'm looking for the best way to make them but also a good, affordable machine for cutting too.

[@esthercho6249]

I recommend a silhouette portrait 3. It's a few hundred dollars but it does a great job. (if ur looking for lower prices than that, honestly u should just stick with your trusty hand and scissor.)

[@pauljohnson-yk5dq]

Am I missing something here? All you say in this video is to buy some paper and print your design with your own inkjet printer or take to Kinko. How do you make the stickers waterproof? Any tips other than cutting a slit on the back?

[@TheBruceAllen]

The paper i am reccomending is waterproof

[@TheBlacksheep2020]

so, how do you get the individual circle cuts around each sticker once you print it at kinkos?

[@zacharywillis7846]

Did you cut each sticker out individually? Or did you use something to make them perfectly round?

[@esthercho6249]

I think he cut it on his own. Or else he would have mentioned he used a silhouette or something.

[@Nick_Tag]

@@esthercho6249 i was wondering the same thing, but reading this gave me the idea of creating a 'cookie cutter' to score the sticker's shape (instead of buying a plotter / doing it by hand), so thanks!

I would avoid getting this particular paper if using for a business. I washed a cup with my stickers one time and it immediately gets wet and peels off. Make sure you get waterproof if you want to make a quality product

I never thought to make my own either. I was just about to buy from someone as I'm looking into getting into making them, but seeing how much cheaper it is, It's worth a shot. I'm just so bad at cutting things and lining images right so that the printer doesn't cut out part of the image.

[@elizabethduran8280]

Hey that’s the internet 🤣

[@DeadspaceMayhem]

How does one make the Vinyl style slap stickers you see on jdm/drift cars like anime n such also how do they get the special effects like glitter n such

[@TheBruceAllen]

No idea man.

[@alexanderb.9872]

You're thinking of CMYK ink stickers chief. Different industry and expensive machinery at that but a good payoff if you're trying to make way in this market. One way of making similar slaps is to purchase the white matte paper and layering it with laminate. You can cut it by hand or one of those paper cutting thingies you can buy at walmart. It'll last long enough but inkjet inks fade after a while in the sun. CMYK are more resistant but eventually fade too after a little bit longer.

[@kyanite4818]

hi, quick question: how do you cut out the stickers?

[@bhutch216]

If you want them die cut, you would need a vinyl cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette Cameo.

[@TheBruceAllen]

These hands. Or a cricut if your ballin

[@billywilkins4808]

Just what I needed, short and simple. thanks man

[@neveahletuligasenoa]

Ok I'm sorry Im really slow but we put the sticker paper in our printers to print correct?

[@Dearestnee]

Yes. Print it on your label paper first and then send it through your die cutter.

[@reaghangatta6128]

do you have to cut them out yourself or can you use a sticker cutter? for example a cricket. because whenever i see people use one of the machines it makes a sheet and not an individual sticker. because im bad and slow at cutting starting a company may be harder if i cant use a machine.

[@TheBruceAllen]

You can use a cricut or your hands. totally up to you and how deep your wallet is. I use my hands. But If you are mass producing intricate designs a cricut is ALOT easier.

[@reaghangatta6128]

That's the Angle thank you!

[@lifewSC]

Hi. This is great! I know this is after the video is made and your probably not seeing this, but what do you mean by cutting an x through the paper? Like fully cutting the paper like that, or just lightly cutting an x. I don't know what that means haha. Please explain if you can! Also, do you have to use word? Or can it be on a google doc.
