Stickers are a fun way to promote both Bitcoin and your community while reinforcing your identity.
Before ordering, keep these tips in mind:
- For outdoor use, make sure stickers are waterproof.
- Keep your logo slightly smaller than the cutting area to avoid cropping issues during laser cutting.
- Use a vector file instead of a raster image for higher print quality.
- Choose the right size: 8 cm diameter (about the size of an adult palm) is highly visible, while 4 cm is more discreet. Are you looking for visibility or discretion ?
- For rich black printing ("quad black"), use 30% cyan, 30% magenta, 30% yellow, and 100% black. Using only 100% black can result in a grayish tone. Printers often check this, but it's worth knowing.
Depending on your needs and supplier, 1,000 stickers may cost between 100€ and 250€. You can contact @Mill3sim3 on Twitter, a French Bitcoiner specializing in marketing, who can sometimes secure prices up to 30% lower than standard online vendors.
That said, 1,000 stickers is a lot. It's usually better to start with around 100 to make sure you can distribute them all.
Important: Check local regulations before placing stickers in public spaces.
In France, stickers may only be placed on official public notice boards. Putting them elsewhere (e.g., a stop sign) will likely result in removal and possibly a fine if they can be linked to you or your meetup. Inform your members about this.
In private venues like concerts, bars, or stadiums, check if stickers are already present before adding yours. If not, ask staff for permission. You don't want a business owner's first impression of your community to be that you vandalized their space.
