Sticker sheets are fun, charming, and make great gifts or sales at events. Customers love being able to choose from a variety of images for different needs, and having a whole sheet of stickers provides them that choice. But putting together a sticker sheet is about more than just throwing a bunch of pictures together in a file and calling it a day. Getting high-quality stickers from a sticker sheet is about design and careful planning.

Shape and Size

When putting together your sticker sheet, you first have to think about the shape and size of each sticker. Sticker sheets typically have a variety of shapes and three main categories of size: small, medium, and large. You should aim to have 1-2 large stickers, 3-4 medium stickers, and at least 5-6 small stickers to make an effective sheet.

Of course, not all sticker sheets must follow this guideline. For example, if you’re making a sticker sheet for bullet journal organization, you may only want a bunch of medium stickers with sayings on them. If you’re making sticker sheets for teachers to put on kids’ papers, a sheet of all small stickers will do the job just fine.

Unless planning for a specific event, having a variety of small, medium, and large stickers will create a visually pleasing aesthetic that will catch your customers’ interest and entice them to buy. Having a variety of shapes and colors helps as well. When all the stickers are uniform in shape, the sheet can look a bit dull, no matter how unique the stickers themselves are.

Organization

Having a variety of shapes and sizes is step one; putting them into a unique organization is step two. If you’re following the size guide from above, you’ll want to place your large stickers somewhere near the center of the sheet but not too close to each other. Leave enough room between them for one medium sticker and 2-3 smaller stickers. Spread the rest of your medium stickers around the outside, and then fill in all the spaces with your smaller stickers. Just be sure to leave enough room between each for a good-sized bleed area.

If you’re not following the sizing guide, it’s a good idea to organize your stickers into rows and columns. Having more uniform stickers will naturally lead to a more uniform-looking sheet. It can look messy and unprofessional if you try to spread them out too much or place them around haphazardly. So keep it tidy and clean.

Getting a sticker sheet printed in high quality doesn’t have to be a pain. By having a good mix of shapes and a proper sizing ratio, you can create fun and inviting sticker sheets in no time. Fun for any event or sale, sticker sheets are a great way to get your art or your business logos out into the world.
