Suits you if you want logo stickers to seal mailers or tissue. You see a free proof before printing, and the US site lists free shipping on most orders.

## Who Sticker Mule suits

Use logo stickers to seal tissue or close a mailer. Put your logo on plain packaging so the package carries your shop's name.

Order a small first run to test a design before you commit to thousands.

It also prints roll labels, for when you make your own products, such as candles or bath bombs, and need a product label as well as a seal.

## Minimums, proofs and finishes

Custom stickers start from 10 per design as a sample, with small runs in multiples of 10. Roll labels have a higher minimum per design; the help pages list the current figure.

You get a free online proof before printing and can ask for changes until it looks right. View it at 100 percent zoom: a logo that reads on screen can blur at 1.5 inches.

Paper or matte stickers take a pen if you want to write a note, while glossy vinyl lasts longer on a box. The US site lists current prices.

## Sealing tissue and marking mailers

Close the tissue around the item with one sticker. Put the sticker on top of the item, where the buyer opens the wrap.

Keep a strip of stickers next to your tape and peel one per order as you wrap.

Put your shop name and handle on a sticker on the outside of the mailer, so buyers on eBay and Poshmark can find your shop again.

## Generic stickers, noissue or Vistaprint

A generic roll of 500 thank-you stickers needs no design, which suits you if you haven't settled on a name.

Choose noissue if you also want printed tissue that matches your stickers.

Vistaprint covers business cards and postcards alongside stickers, so pick it if you want a card insert in the same order.

## A 1.5 to 2 inch seal with one line of text

Pick a size between 1.5 and 2 inches for sealing tissue. Bigger stickers crease on folded tissue.

Keep the design to a logo and one line of text, because fine print is unreadable at sticker size.

Order a sample run of 10 or 50 first, use them for two weeks, and adjust size or finish before the bigger order.

## Common mistakes

- Approve the proof only after checking the text at 100 percent zoom.
- Stickers over 2 inches crease on tissue.
- If you put a URL and a slogan beside your logo, the whole sticker is hard to read.
- If you order thousands before testing, you are stuck with that design.
- Pick paper or matte for notes, because pen smudges on glossy vinyl.
