Make Your Own Bumper Stickers to Make Your Statement All Over Town

The great thing about bumper stickers is that they follow you wherever you go. They get a lot of notice since people in parking lots and in traffic don’t have that much to look at, so they tend to read what they see on vehicles. Bumper stickers are often entertaining, so people tend to check them out – just in case it’s a good one.

It is surprisingly inexpensive to make bumper stickers these days, thanks to online printing companies like Vistaprint.com. You don’t even have to print up a large number to get a good price, though prices tend to go down as the quantity goes up, so consider using your custom bumper stickers as a giveaway item. If your customers put your stickers on their vehicles, you will have a fleet of free advertisers working for you and appreciating you for it.

If you just want a few bumper stickers for your personal vehicles, Vista printing may be great place to get them. Their regular price is about $4 each, but they always run specials. If you don’t see any sale prices on their website, it’s worth doing a search online, because that will often bring up coupons or special offers. Once you get on Vistaprint’s e-mail list they will send you terrific offers, so even if you aren’t ready to place an order, it might be a good idea to visit their website and sign up for the mailing list anyway.

Vistaprint is usually very competitive pricewise, but when it comes to bumper stickers, you can do better. Perhaps it is because it’s such a specialty item, but their regular price just doesn’t compete with the printers who do a lot of sticker printing. Then again, if you catch a 50% off sale at Vistaprint (which is pretty common for their mailing list), they will certainly have the lowest price.

Despite the potentially higher price, if you just want a few stickers, Vistaprint may be still be your best choice because of the ease of designing and ordering your stickers. They offer thousands of customizable design templates. Their designs are based on the business card designs they offer, which explains why they would have so many prepared designs. You won’t find the classic bumper stickers in the collection, though they can all be adapted to say what you want them to.

Many are simply striking and would look great with just your company name and contact information, but a catchy phrase always helps the info to stay in the reader’s head. Keep in mind that bumper stickers are seen from a distance, so you’ll need to select a design that is easy to decipher and leaves room for your message in a large enough font to be read by passing motorists.

Wherever you order you bumper stickers, you will want to make sure that you get the appropriate material. For your stickers to last in the outdoors, they need to be printed on a high grade vinyl and have an ultraviolet (UV) coating so the sun doesn’t bleach them out.

Window stickers are a popular alternative, and these are often printed on clear polyester paper. Window clings (free of adhesive) have also become very popular, but are not as widely available.

Whether you go with stickers or clings, rectangular or oval, the main thing is to get your message across, and bumper stickers offer to make that much easier for you.
