Custom stickers are always great to print, especially if they are for a great purpose. However, you should take care and check your designs first for your stickers before actually mass producing them. There will always be errors or minor mistakes that might have slipped to your sticker layout and it is crucial that you do not let those pass unto printing. You will not want to duplicate those errors of course and waste all that money in sticker printing.

In this article, I will teach you how to prevent that from happening by simply asking a few important and pointed questions. Listed down below are some of these crucial test questions that you should ask before mass producing those stickers. After answering all these yourself, it should be far easier to judge if your stickers are ready for the real world.

1. Is the message clear to everyone?

The message of your sticker is the most critical thing to check first. So the first question that you must ask is if its message is clear to everyone. It might be clear to you because you wrote it, but it might not be as obvious to others. So make sure you test out your sticker message. Ask a few colleagues and even some of your friends to review your message and see if they can get the message quickly. The faster the better of course.

2. Is the color theme easily visible?

Next, try to see if the color theme of your sticker is easily visible. As with most stickers, you should already have an idea where you want people to stick those prints.

Try to figure out if the sticker color can pop out of that environment or if it actually blends in invisibly. Of course you will want it to pop out so that people may actually notice those full color stickers. Adjust accordingly of course if you think that your stickers are too well blended in the environment.

3. Can the symbol or picture be easily understood or identified?

Of course, most stickers (but not all) will have some symbol, picture or graphic along with its main message. It is important to check of course if that image is actually can be easily understood or identified by others.

If only you can easily understand it from afar, then you might have a pretty ineffective color sticker. So you should really try to test those graphics by having other people take a look. The more people who recognize your images, the better of course for your stickers. If they cannot, then you better change your image before actually printing those stickers.

4. Is it in the right size for your deployment plan?

It is important also to review and ask if your stickers have the right size for your deployment. While you might have an idea of where they should be “stuck” and you have a template that “might” be okay, you should actually be SURE that your stickers will be able to fit all the areas for your deployment plan. So review your template and actually test in real life if that template can fit all the areas where you plan on deploying those full color stickers.

5. Does it have the right quality for your marketing plan?

If you are using your stickers for marketing, you should also ask yourself if you will be using the right material quality for your sticker printing. Typically it is best to have thick and coated materials so that the sticker can preserve its quality for a longer time. Make sure to check if you do indeed need that kind of quality for your own marketing plan for your stickers.

6. Does it have the proper signature or author content?

Of course, since it is your STICKER, you should always have the proper signature or author content. You will always want to be identified as the creator of that sticker for you to have some exposure. Make sure to integrate this even as a small content element at the edges of the sticker.

7. Have you tested it with others if it will work?

Lastly, ask yourself if indeed your stickers work. Try to test it out with others and see if they will both attract people and communicate its message effectively. Testing should always be done for each new sticker batch so that you can determine if really it is fit for real mass production and publishing.

Once all these seven questions have been answered, you should be a go all the way for your sticker printing.
