        Just buy a pack. They’re stickers. They cost nearly nothing to manufacture. Me and my friends upload sticker motives to Eastern European online copyshops all the time and order 100 at a time, then split the bill. It’s dirt cheap.

      Depends on the type of sticker. They sell big stickers individually in a lot of places and some places have custom-made specialized stickers which they will sell individually.

      When I was a kid, there was a kiosk in the mall that had dozens of sticker rolls and you could pull off as many as you liked from any roll you wanted and buy them. That was awesome.

        Upload that motive to an online copyshop and oder in bulk.

          I’m guessing that’s exactly how they do it. But they still sell them individually to their customers. The customers seem willing to pay or they wouldn’t keep selling them.

          You also have situations like a band selling a sticker. They’re not going to sell you a roll of stickers.

            Scan that sticker, upload the scan, order it in bulk. Anxiety gone.

              I still don’t think you’re getting this. The band buys in bulk. The fan buys the single sticker.

                Fans can order the same sticker off the internet in bulk by uploading the motive to a copyshop. What’s there not to understand? Did you even read what you posted here? It’s about the anxiety where to put a single sticker. And that is gone when you just scan and upload the motive to a copyshop and order a stack for peanuts.

                  Or they can’t because it’s a local band and also they want to support the band.

    Unless it’s a sticker for a skateboard brand or punk band, in which case, straight on the nearest street sign.

    The trick is to cut out the sticker (with the film underneath) and use paste gum to just place it where you want it. You can then remove it and stick it somewhere else whenever you want.

    When I come across a sticker I really like, like a band at a show or something, I usually buy 2 so I can stick one somewhere without much thought and put the other in a drawer for these reasons

    Uh oh! I have a few hundred brewery stickers that I’ve put up. Some are even duplicates between my home glass display and my work locker.

    Am I a double psychopath?

    I recently found my Radiohead Kid A stickers that have been waiting for the perfect placement since 2001.

    I used to be like this but then started pre-deciding items that would be just plastered with stickers so I can just buy whatever cool stickers I want, knowing there’s a place for them.

    My water bottle and laptop for example are now covered in stickers
