It might not seem like it right now, but before you know it, Christmas will be right around the corner. If you want to make this Christmas one to remember not only for yourself but for your family and friends too, designing your own personalised Christmas gift labels is a great place to start.
Why? Well, stickers are fun. Young and old, most people appreciate a good sticker - they’re a great way to brighten someone’s day. They’re versatile, too. Stickers can be used for all kinds of different things, from sealing envelopes and wrapping paper to decorating and personalising gifts and tags, making them perfect for creating memorable festive moments.
If you want to use stickers to make this year’s Christmas period extra special for your loved ones, we’re here to help. In this blog, we’re going to guide you through the process of creating and producing personalised Christmas stickers, helping you get prepared ahead of the festive season.
Get some inspiration
Whenever you’re designing a sticker - be it for Christmas or any other occasion - the first step is to get inspired. If you’ve decided you want to create personalised stickers but are short on ideas, check out social media to see what others have done previously. You never know, you might find that spark of inspiration you’ve been looking for.
If you’re still struggling for Christmas sticker ideas, sit down with a pen and paper and think about who you’re creating the stickers for. What are their hobbies and interests? What makes them laugh? The more personalised you’re able to make the stickers, the more memorable they’re likely to be.
Another good place to start is your phone’s camera roll. If you have any funny family photos, you can get them printed onto your stickers to raise a smile on Christmas morning.
Sketch your ideas
Once you have a few ideas in mind, it’s time to start bringing them to life. If you have a specific vision in mind, you can start by sketching out the design on paper first. This is a good way of experimenting with different layouts and designs, too; you might want to draw multiple different options and then pick the one that stands out the most.
Create a digital design
The next step is to turn your sketched ideas into a digital file, which can then be sent to a printing specialist to be applied onto a sticker sheet. Don’t worry - you don’t have to handle this step yourself. If you’ve not created digital designs before or aren’t sure where to begin, our team will be able to help you.
Our in-house designers will be happy to transform your ideas into a piece of digital artwork, overseeing the production of your stickers from design to completion. If you’d like to find out more, don’t hesitate to contact us!
Choose your paper type
When the digital design is ready to go, you’ll next have to choose a paper type and sticker format. A variety of different types and weights of paper are available, from thinner, matte options to thick, glossy ones.
We can make all kinds of different stickers here at Flexi Labels, from die cut stickers to window stickers, sheet labels and so much more. Our team will be able to talk you through the various options available.
