You’ll need to print your artwork onto the sticker material. You have two printing options – screen or digital printing.
Screen printing is widely preferred because of its rich glossy colors and outdoor durability. The ink is pushed through a mesh screen onto the sticker, and multiple rounds are needed for precise color layering.
Digital screening is where you use laser printing technology (like a computer printer) to reproduce the design onto the sticker.
Once printed, they’re laminated to achieve specific finishes and protect the printed ink from outdoor elements. The lamination helps to provide an appealing glossy, or matte look.
Slitting is where you cut through the backing material, allowing easy peeling and application. From there, you can cut the adhesives to your desired shape. You’ll need a die-cutting machine that can precisely cut through vinyl and other materials.
