Overview of Design and Materials Needed

Before you begin creating, it’s important to make sure you have the right design and materials picked out from our site. Here are some of the choices you’ll need to make to get started:

  • Design
  • Shape
  • Material
  • Quantity

Once you have your choices made, you’re ready to get started.

Step 1: Designing

The first step is to create your design or have your logo ready. If you already have a design in mind, you can just draw it out on paper, use an online tool and an editing program. If you don’t have a design in mind, there are plenty of websites and programs where you can find inspiration and create a design of your own. When designing your sticker, make sure to keep the size and shape in mind. You’ll need to make sure your design fits within the size and shape of the project or product you’ll be applying it to. If you’re using a program to design, you can easily adjust the size and shape to fit your requirements. Now you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Material

Now that your design is ready, the next step is choosing the right material. We offer many different types of vinyl materials, so it’s important to choose the one that best fits your project. If you’re looking for a glossy finish, be sure to choose the gloss lamination option. If you’re looking for a matte finish, you’ll want to choose a matte lamination. If you’re looking for something fancier, you’ll want to choose one of our holographic or metallic material options. Once you’ve chosen the right material, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 3: Selecting the Right Shape

Once you’ve chosen the material, the next step is selecting the shape. If you’re using a program to design and edit, you can easily manipulate the desired shape. Take note of the product or packaging the sticker will be applied to and keep in mind round or circle shapes apply easier. If your design has a unique shape you can choose die cut or custom shape to have us cut around the design. Once you’ve decided on the shape, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 4: Selecting the Quantity

The next step is choosing how many  you'll need. This can be done easily by selecting the many quantity options that we offer. If you're looking to save money and receive a bulk discount, you’ll want to choose a larger quantity. The more you order, the lower the cost per sticker is. Once you’ve chosen your quantity, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 5: Purchasing

The next step is purchasing. Grafpros.com has made the process to order stickers online very simple. You can do this by following the order process and adding your product and design to the cart. Once you check out, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step 6: Application

Locate the desired location on your laptop, refrigerator, vehicle window or product packaging. Once location is determined, peel off the backing and apply to the surface with even and firm pressure. Once applied, you’re ready to move on to the next step.

Step7: Share Your Design With Friends and Family

The final step is sharing your custom designed sticker with the world. Take amazing pictures of the product or object that you just applied it to. Post online using your favorite social media app and don't forget to tag #grafpros to let your friends and family know where you ordered from.
