What is your opinion on them?Personally as a child I literally never used stickers. Like I collect some however lever actually stick them on anything. I mean the logic is very basic if I place a sticker on something I lose it. And where would I put the sticker on? I have to make 1 choice and only 1 choice.I think I placed some on things when I was a small child however I remember basically never using the Pokemon stickers that did come in the Pokemon guide book.What was your childhood experience with stickers?I did look up digimon stickers and because they come in random booster packs/blind bags (extremely exploitative) kids end up with duplicates and feel less hesitant to use the stickers on things.Of course the print on demand stickers are basically unlimited and excluded from this comparison.
>>11866364I dont have any childhood ones, but the stickers I do get I usually put on my pc case
>>11866368> I usually put on my pc caseWhy? No other special place?
>>11866364I used to grab a few from a head shop I went to since it was just a wild mess of an assortment. I put some on my wallet but many have faded, I've got a few in the pockets of my wallet as well since it's not like I'm carrying photos of anyone.
>>11866370What franchise where these stickers from?
>>11866369A big slab of metal canvas, it just lends well to it. My fridge is covered in magnets and I cant really think where else to put any. Id probably put some on the back of my monitor but the design is too busy, stickers look better on something plain to stand out better.
I like the idea of them, but I can't bring myself to actually put them on things for the most part. Would probably explain why I still have some from high school lol.
>>11866374Literally everything from political memes to street fighter to bands to Rick and Morty to super Mario to dude weed lol
>>11866397Same
>>11866468The picture you posted looks like some old stickers they have in music magazines or tenager magazins.
>>11866397>I like the idea of them, but I can't bring myself to actually put them on things for the most part.I am like this.HOWEVER I explain it like this1) I have shit loads of external SSDs and HDDs 2) to distinguish between basically identical black rectangles I put paper on sticky tape on them giving them a individual name.3) HOWEVER reading that gets to slow so I did get an idea4) What if I place stickers on them of lets say digimon? There are a verity of reasons for this one of them being that I like digimon. The other one being that most people will not know what that even is.5) However I have specific needs like lets say the sticker must be small like 2cm x 1 cm and I like to have 3 copies of it or more.6) I looked up digimon stickers and they look like ass and not for my needs that is distinguishing between different HDDs and SSDs. 7) So I decided to do it myself and basically take pictures and make stickers out of them, I was thinking to do a stickers on demand shop and simply give them my PNGs of what I need. I think that stickers that you printed out of PNGs you have on your PC no one will feel bad about using. Because you always will have the digital data to print out more.Thoughts?
>>11866364I had a sticker album and a mirror I used to put them on as a kid.Ever since I started going to cons I have started using them a lot on things like my PC case and DM screen. Seems like every con has great stickers from local artists.
Stickers aren't toys.If the autismos screech about statues being off-topic, I dare say stickers are off-topic too.
>>11866769>Stickers aren't toys.Yes they are.
>>11866364I used to collect them in an album. I'd get them from Disneyland, certain stores, and also "I VOTED". But i dont use them for anything else
>>11866893>album>>11866637>albumSee this >>11866397 Is basically a sticker album not subverting the idea of a sticker? I mean you basically put them into a connectable book like some MTG cards not you know stick them on random objects and never remove?
well, they aren’t toys
>>11866364I think there was some scheme in my country where if you ate enough chocolate yogurt you could send away from these sticks. My memory is hazy. I know I was terrible with those schemes though and would make my mom buy tons of trash food so I could get whatever prize was the aim.
>>11866364I have some stickers that I put on my car.
>>118663641980s hologram stickers are the alpha stickers.
Here's one of my favorite stickers, I got from a car battery at work. Can you guess which album art the sticker resembles?
>>11867092Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengeance album cover. As a metalhead I knew that one in an instant.
>>11867092>defender battery>not using the defenders of the faith cover
>>11866780No. They're not.
>>11867562yeah they are, sit down bitch
>>11867568No faggot, they're not. And you know it. Everyone knows it.
>>11867571Stickers are toys.https://www.melissaanddoug.com/blogs/living-playfully/the-benefits-of-playing-with-stickers
>>11866364>childhoodWhat's that?
>>11866927conserving them in an album is more organized and uniform than just keeping all the full sheets. If you do put them on stuff, then they'll wear out
>>11867603As a collectible never-used full sheets are worth more than an album full of used stickers.
>>11867603>conserving them in an album is more organized and uniform thanYea however at this point should they not be like you know connectable cards? Because this is what you are doing collecting them like cards and never sticking them on things.Don't get me wrong as a kid I never did stick mine on anything so I as basically the same.Even now after buying some expensive products I got dome stupid brand stickers and did go>Yea right why the fuck would I brand myself with your crap?However now that I have to many identical black boxes I am thinking to use them. All I want is to make the black boxes look different at first glance.
OP here I have a question how do I make my sticker in the correct IRL dimensions? Lets say I have the PNGs how do I ensure that they are the correct IRL dimensions? like I want to ensure that the sticker is 2cm x 1cm or something like that?Any online shit is a no go because I know that the retarded website will simply shut down, entshitify itself or create a paywall. Any recomendations?
>>11869314By IRL Dimensions you mean printing. So it depends on who is doing the printing.However, the typical printing standard is 300 PPI (pixels per inch). So there's nothing stopping you from doing it on paint.exe - i.e. set up the right amount of pixels in the canvas for the amount of inches you want. And yes you'll have to do conversion for gay ass inches to get to chad metric.If you find a printing website, they should have instructions about what they are after. I've done this for small stuff all the way to huge arcade cabinet side decals.
>>11869991I did hear that I can throw my pictures into Libre Office Writer and right click and change the dimensions to whatever mm I want it will work.If I then export as PDF will it work? Like will the details be preserved or is LO retarded? I did read it and made some tests.Remember I probably will print on A4 and want to use the space the best.
>>11870033I'm not even sure what you're doing then. Most people either send away for printing (and there's instructions), or they own a sticker printer.Either way you'll need to take the printer into consideration if you're really trying to maximize space. Most standard printers can't print all the way to the outside of the paper.The answer to your question is I don't know, and you should probably just do a test.
>>11870041>The answer to your question is I don't know, and you should probably just do a test.Thanks.>Most standard printers can't print all the way to the outside of the paper.???There are these things on every page of writer it is literally like MS Word.
I put my stickers in a scrapbook.
Sticker trading is super big in Japan right now

>>11866364>What was your childhood experience with stickers?I stuck them on my wooden headboard on my childhood bed. they were from trading card packs so it was maybe like, doubles, or there were cards and stickers, I forget, but I remember I didn't feel like I was "wasting" them by sticking 'em. more like adding to the art gallery.sorry no pics of the headboard, that was a long time before cameras everywhere. if I could go back in time and see which stickers I had, that might be cool to do. I remember I had the cool race cars, at least
I wanna peel some of my garbage pail kids but I dunno where to stick em.
>>11871640>>11871642>>11871648>Sticker trading How does that work? And does this not go against the idea of a sticker? Since you never use them?
>>11866364I saw one of these Sticker Bomb books at an Ollie's and it looked like fun. the point is to randomly overlap them on something in order to decorate it. you can just buy another book if you want to keep the artwork or whatever, but the whole point is to stick 'em.I once saw a globe at a thrift store that had been completely sticker bomb'd and while the sphere was kinda cool looking for a decoration, I laughed at the globe was no longer functional as like... a map.
More /sp/ related but in 1994 I did the World Cup sticker album, buying packs of stickers and trading with kids at school to get them all. In 2022 I decided on a whim to do the Qatar cup album for nostalgia sake, ended up being pretty costly and lacked the fun experiences of trading for needed stickers. Having to order the last several missing ones from the manufacturer just wasn't the same... Back to the topic at hand, kids usually love stickers, we give them out as little prizes for completing the scavenger hunts we set up at work every couple of weeks.
>>11872498You can get a sticker binder that allows you to peel and remove them from the binder as many times as you want.From what I've seen it's pretty popular to collect stickers of a specific character and trade with people in order to complete a set. Or buy the most popular ones to trade so you can get the ones you actually want.
