    I always wondered where people get their cool stickers from, epspecially the ‘niche ones’ like the Lemmy/Fediverse ones. Like, I found shops for EU/Germany and maybe I’m to stingy, but I don’t want to pay 50€ for 10 Stickers…

      1. In Slovakia we have a stationery shop chain called FaxCopy that prints stickers as well. Rather than a limited number of stickers, you get to fill an entire page. For example, SRA3 page, matte exterior-grade (I assume that could be waterproof, they don’t explain that…) costs €5.47. I only tried the cheapest paper option so far. That includes the cutting. However there’s 2 ways, I prefer to kiss-cut over die-cut due to spacing, then just cut it up with scissors. For kiss-cut it’s 5mm and for die cut it’s 3cm.
        Right, that brings me to another point, it is quite manual. You have to create the print template and cut template yourself. I used Inkscape for that.

      2. Stickermule. Right, so they’ve went fully pro-Trump, sending pro-Trump emails to customers, and now I even found they made some 100ft wide “Vote for Trump” sign and Trump’s statue.
        Well, so why am I mentioning them? They’ve got a couple of promotions of 10 stickers for around $1 including shipping. Each can only be used once, but it’s possible to delete and re-create the account (needs a different phone number). Certainly doesn’t make them money.

      Unfortunately, the latter is the company that acquired unixstickers.

      All’s you need is adhesive matte paper and a printer.

      Optional: Cutting machine, Inkscape, GIMP

        Well, I have none of those (I don’t even own a printer) :D

        But you’re right buying the sheets and printing them in a copyshop is probably cheaper than buying individual stickers.
