As the seasons change, new opportunities arise to refresh your brand, promote events, and sell custom merchandise! Spring is the perfect time to introduce new sticker designs and branded merch that align with seasonal trends and upcoming events. By planning ahead, you can ensure that you have the right products—whether it's custom stickers, embroidered hats, T-shirts or retail packaging—ready in time for spring promotions, outdoor markets, and festivals! Getting started early helps you avoid production delays, take advantage of bulk discounts, and maximize your sales potential. Here’s how to make the most of the season!
Ordering in Bulk: Save Time & Money
Spring is prime time for marketing, events, and new product launches, making it the perfect season to invest in custom stickers for promotional giveaways, branded packaging, or merchandise for resale. Ordering in bulk allows you to save money, avoid last-minute delays, and stay ahead of the competition, ensuring you have plenty of high-quality stickers ready for your business or event needs.
Understanding Bulk Pricing & Price Breaks
Bulk pricing and tiered price breaks make it easier to save money while stocking up on custom stickers and merchandise. The more you order, the lower your cost per unit, allowing you to maximize your budget. Many print providers offer wholesale discounts, special pricing tiers, and free shipping on large orders, making bulk purchases a cost-effective choice. At Car Stickers when you order more than 25 stickers you will see BIG savings!
Example Savings: Ordering 100 stickers instead of 50 drops the cost per sticker from $1.50 to $0.90, saving 40% per unit!
Best Sticker Types for Bulk Orders
Not all stickers are created equal—some materials are better suited for bulk orders based on cost, durability, and versatility!
| Sticker Type | Best For | Bulk Order Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Die-Cut Stickers | Merch, giveaways, branding | Cost-effective, durable, and perfect for custom designs |
| Kiss-Cut Stickers | Branding, promoting website and social media channels | Easy to peel, great for branding and marketing |
| Transfer Stickers | Car decals, storefronts, door and window signage | Bulk pricing works well for promotional and resale purposes |
| Static Cling Stickers | Window decals, temporary promotions, seasonal offerings | Reusable and adhesive-free, great for seasonal sales |
| Reflective & Holographic Stickers | Premium branding, limited editions | Eye-catching and unique, great for high-end merchandise |
Tip: If you’re selling custom stickers as merch, die-cut stickers are the best option for profitability—they look premium and cost the least per unit in bulk orders!
Creative Ways to Display Your Stickers and Merch
Spring is the perfect season to sell stickers, whether you’re setting up at farmers’ markets, pop-up shops, trade shows, or selling online. It’s not just about having great designs—how you display them can make all the difference in grabbing attention and increasing sales. Want to make your stickers stand out? Here are some creative and eye-catching ways to showcase them in stores and at events!
Retail-Ready Packaging: Make Your Stickers Stand Out
If you’re selling stickers in retail spaces, packaging matters! A well-presented sticker catches the buyer’s eye and adds value.
- Hang Tab Stickers - Perfect for retail settings, hang tab sticker packs allow you to display stickers on hooks or pegboards in a simple way! Leaving stickers out in stacks on counters is a bit risky because it makes them easy to steal. So hanging solutions are a better option! Hanging stickers on pegboards or placing them in sticker racks can also prevent theft.
- Cellophane Sleeves – A clear, protective sleeve keeps sticker packs clean and organized while showing off the designs. These are also beneficial for shipping. They will protect your stickers from any shipping damage. Check out our retail packaging when you order custom stickers to see how cellophane bags, a backing sheet and a hole punch can make a big difference in your presentation!
- Branded Header Cards – A custom-printed card stock topper (stapled or sealed to a plastic sleeve) adds a professional look, includes your branding, and makes your stickers ready for retail shelves.

Sticker Displays: Catch the Customer’s Eye
If you're selling stickers in a physical store or pop-up booth, how you arrange them can attract attention and increase impulse buys! Here are a few ideas to help get you started:
- Rotating Sticker Racks - Small, rotating countertop displays work great for smaller stickers and let customers browse with ease. There are are a ton of options at online retailers like Clear Solutions Displays and Faire.
- Bins & Baskets - Set up clear bins or baskets near the checkout counter for easy grab-and-go purchases.
- Wall-Mounted Pegboards – A great way to display sticker packs in an organized, retail-friendly manner.
- Themed Sticker Sections – Group stickers by theme (e.g., travel, nature, funny slogans) so customers can easily find designs that match their style.
- Limited Edition Stickers – Use a dedicated section or special display to showcase seasonal and exclusive sticker designs.
Tip: Go thrifting! There are so many items at thrift stores, kitchen organizers like spice racks and a variety of other things that can be repurposed as sticker racks if you're looking to save some money instead of buying premade sticker racks! Facebook marketplace is another great place to find lightly used racks or organizers you can repurpose. Check out the image below. Local artist and maker, Bridgette Coyne, uses spice racks she found on sale at TJ Maxx to hold her stickers at artist markets and vendor fairs!
The options are endless when it comes to sticker displays—your setup can truly be one-of-a-kind! If you need visual inspiration, check out sticker display ideas on Pinterest.
