Quality Bumper Stickers

Marcus and I have always talked about getting bumper or window stickers printed and possibly selling them. I was hoping to get them done back when I was working at the screen printer since I could get a discount through any one of our vendors, but the company went out of business before I had the chance.

There's a site online called 1-800 Stickers where I can get custom stickers printed for an extremely reasonable price. With only a minimum order of 250 stickers, we could probably swing that in the near future. There was a wide variety of sizes and shapes available. Being a graphic designer, I liked the detailed artwork submission guidelines they provide. It's definitely a mark of a reputable printing company. They also offer free design services for those with great ideas, but lacking design talent.

For those in the printing know, they print the stickers on durable vinyl with light-fast inks and a UV-resistant coating, meaning they'll last, even outside. They won't crack, bubble or fade. They're also printed at 150 line screen — that's photo quality. They also have 1-2 color and full color labels available, which I could probably put to use once I get my embroidery business off the ground.

Now, what would make a good bumper sticker?
