Make Your Own Bumper Stickers

Bumper stickers are everywhere – meaning they’re profitable. In 2020, over 7 million stickers were printed regarding the American presidential race alone. And, just like the ebbs and flows of governmental circuses, bumper sticker sales also spike relative to trending or popular subjects.

It’s the work of a moment to make (and publish) a bumper sticker to your store. As such, it’s no task to customize, tinker, and add new of these lucrative products to an inventory lineup. After, it’s a potential lifetime of passive income flows.

Furthermore, customers often buy more than one item with their purchases. It could be a great idea to introduce a bundle deal, discount, or another incentive to drive traffic toward your store.

Premium Printed Vinyl

Custom bumper stickers are constantly exposed to the elements. To better ensure their contents, message, or designs last, these stickers are made from quality ingredients. They are rated to last six or more years.

UV Protective Laminate

Exposure to solar radiation can mess up surface areas quickly. To make sure this doesn’t happen when you make your own bumper stickers, a laminate layer is provided over the printed area.

Vibrant Colors

While these products primarily contain textual messages, any design will have the full support of a bright color spectrum. No matter what artwork is included, the end result is a clear surface when you make your own stickers.

Bumper Sticker Design Ideas

Here are a few general concepts to jumpstart your thinking process for the perfect sticker concept. Remember, if you can improve on them, please do so. Maybe your special spin is everything needed to be the next big hit in the sticker world.

Peace and Love on a Sticker

This genre can be a bit generic… but who doesn’t love the idea of love. Even if poorly delivered, the simple act of putting forth a positive ripple may just be what saves us all. In a world of passionate people, be one that says nice things.

It’s all good
Groovy, man
We’re all riding our own wave
Let the good times roll
Peace, love, and harmony

Sarcastic Bumper Stickers

Who doesn’t love a few puns or twists on common humor? Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the most impact. Furthermore, text is quick to make while being effective and broadly appealing.

Shouldn’t you be watching the road?
If you’re reading this, you’re too close
Warning, Sarcastic Driver Ahead
Reading is a good idea on the road
It’s a fine day to read other people’s bumpers

National Bumper Stickers

Oh say can you see… my bumper sticker with my country’s flag on it. What better way to stand up than by flying the symbol of a certain nation. Keep in mind that these icons can mean different things to different people, depending on what city, border, or neighborhood you wind up in. Here are a few flags that tend to get hearts pumping a bit faster.

America
Jamaica
England
IKEA… I mean Sweden
Mexico

Sports Stickers

People love sports. As such, there’s a fair bit of money to be made by playing on the latest Superbowl, championship, final four, race, fight, or whatever else it may be. However, be sure not to steal the intellectual property of a particular team/individual, there are many funny plays that can be made regarding athletes, teams, and other public figures.

Wanna race, officer?
See you on the gridiron
I wish I was playing hockey
The right team, right here
If you’re reading this, we could use an outfielder

Pet Stickers

Few things pull at the heartstrings as directly as furred, feathered, or scaled little friends. Why not build a few products catering to the more animalistic-oriented parts of the population?

Keep all paws inside the vehicle
My dogs are my babies
Caution, wild animals inside
