I like doing some sticker printing for business or special projects during the holiday season. One of the most favourite things I do with those color stickers is to add some great design additions that make them more colourful, festive and visible. If you also want your own stickers to really look more festive colourful and visible, then let me teach you how. Below are the five essential sticker additions in the holiday season that you will want to integrate into your sticker printing. These tricks should do the trick in making those sticker prints jolly and merry in the easiest way possible.
• Glittering materials – The most easiest addition that you can put into your color stickers are glittering materials. The holidays are typically about glittering or twinkling lights plus those gold and silver gleams. So, glitter materials embedded within the inks and the paper materials of your color stickers should do the trick to also add that holiday twinkle to your layout. I find it best to use metallic glinting inks for the text to make those stickers look special, while a soft glitter haze on the paper itself adds that subtle holiday essence or magic. This is your first basic addition to your color stickers that should add that holiday theme to your designs.
• Embossed elements – Now, beyond the twinkling and gleaming, another good addition to your holiday sticker printing are embossed elements. A two dimensional color sticker can sometimes be easily ignored. However, color stickers with embossed elements can easily become more interesting simply because some of its design elements are lifted, embossed and ready to be touched. The text and the different symbols of the holidays can be done in this way so that they are more visible and have more impact on the people viewing those stickers.
• Embedded elements – For a more special and interesting holiday, you can also use some embedded elements within those color stickers themselves. Adding actual plastic stars, or even other little shapes and symbols adds more detailed elements into those color sticker designs. This not only makes them good as holiday stickers, but it also converts those special holiday stickers into real collectible items. People can really appreciate the detail and novelty of those sticker designs, adding more value to your special holiday stickers.
• Distinct shapes – Of course, you should also consider adding more distinct shapes to your regular sticker printing layout. Beyond using the typical rectangular shapes for color stickers, you can use actual holiday shapes as the whole form of your holiday stickers. Star shaped stickers and pine tree shaped stickers are just some of the simplest but effective shapes that you can use. Distinct shapes really add visibility for your prints making them useful for advertising and product labelling.
• Specific coatings – Finally, your holiday stickers should also always have special coatings. Especially for the people on the more northern parts of the country, stickers can typically be exposed to extreme cold and moisture during the holiday season. That is why it is important to protect those custom stickers from those effects by using special coatings that makes those stickers more water resistant and tough. Aqueous coatings or other plastic type coatings should typically work well to make those stickers last long in some of those extreme environments.
Great! Now you know what you need for your color stickers this holiday season. Make sure that you try to integrate all these into your sticker printing process. Good Luck!
