There are a few simple ways to reduce the cost of sticker printing. They all involve tweaking with the specifications of your sticker printing order. If you plan on hiring an online sticker printing service, this is going to be much easier since you can mix and match the printing specifications and then get a quote on its price immediately. So it is a good idea to have the sticker printer website loaded in your browser as you play with the sticker's specifications.
Here are some of the aspects of a sticker that you can play with to reduce the cost.
1. Sticker size ? By far the easiest thing that you can change is a sticker's size. Size is directly related to cost. The smaller your sticker is, the cheaper it costs to print it. Do not worry about the sticker design in doing so. Lots of sticker designs can be adapted to a smaller dimension by simply scaling the image down using a graphic design application.
2. Adjust the paper quality ? Another way to bring down costs is by playing with the sticker paper quality. Most printers would recommend using high quality coated paper with a glossy finish for the text and the whole paper as well. If you are trying to save money on your stickers, simple ask for an uncoated type of paper. Usually uncoated paper stock is more affordable and most printers offer this as the cheapest printing option. Of course you may sacrifice some of your sticker's look when you do this.
3. Order in bulk ? One of the oldest and best techniques in reducing the cost of any printing is by ordering in bulk. If you are planning on printing several batches of stickers over the months, then why not just print the whole thing in bulk and get it over with? Bulk orders for stickers can usually earn you a great big discount from the company. Sometimes you can get the per piece value of the stickers down 10-20%.
4. Try online printing ? Lastly, you can save on sticker printing by doing all your sticker printing online. Most online printing companies offer competitive prices against their ?offline? counterparts. Most of them even offer free consultations and even free sample prints so that you can really get the most out of your online printing experience. You can even include your order with other types of printed order to garner a net discount in the total cost, including the delivery.
Those are the basic steps that you can follow to reduce your sticker printing costs. If you want to try more creative ways in cutting costs, simply play with the various printing options in an online printer's website and see if you can cut costs even further. Good Luck!
