Custom Stickers Blog
Welcome to the StandOut Stickers Blog! Here you can find news about our high quality kiss cut stickers, die cut stickers, coupons for cheap stickers and other posts about our custom vinyl stickers. But it's not all sticker talk! We also feature content and sales on custom magnets, custom floor decals and cut vinyl decals.
A lot of new developments at StandOut Stickers worth blogging about. Here’s one: StandOut Stickers is committed to supply chain transparency. We think it’s important to know where the products you buy come from and what they’re made of. You should know these things for a multitude of reasons.
First, choosing local small business is great for encouraging community growth and lowering your carbon footprint. Locally produced goods require less carbon to produce and ship versus internationally shipped or even cross-country shipped goods. We are located in North East Ohio. If you’re anywhere near us, we’d love your local business. For friends across the country we ship UPS carbon neutral at no additional cost.
Second, knowing the country of origin for your raw materials helps you understand that you’re purchasing and reselling ethically produced stickers or magnets. We try to source all products when possible from USA. When we can’t find an American option that is sufficient, we prioritize sourcing product from countries with ethical labor practices.
Our customers deserve to fully know where their custom products are made and sourced. Not only so they can feel good about their purchase but they can also share the great news when they go to resell their custom stickers and magnets.
That is why we have committed to publishing our supply chain transparency report. A documentation of all the materials involved in producing our custom stickers, decals and magnets. All of our packaging, printing, and shipping materials are also cataloged and listed for your inspection. Are we missing something? Feel free to contact us and we’ll add it to the list.
We know a lot of our customers find us by looking for custom stickers made in usa, and many appreciate knowing that our custom magnets are also made in USA (Ohio, even. A few hours south of SOS HQ).
View the Supply Chain Transparency Report and consider StandOut Stickers for your next custom sticker or flexible magnet order. Thank you!

It has been a little over one year since we moved to our brand new headquarters in Brunswick Ohio. To celebrate, we’ve given our sticker and magnet printing room a makeover with fresh paint and a massive neon sign.
In all, we put up three giant neon signs in our headquarters building shared with Pure Buttons. If you’re in the area, feel free to stop by and see them sometime when you pick up your order!
When you enter the StandOut Stickers office, you can see our huge sticker printing room behind a wall of soundproof glass. In this room we keep all of our wide format industrial printers hard at work producing top quality vinyl stickers and flexible custom magnets all day long. (Cut vinyl decals are “printed” in the cutting room)
The StandOut Stickers printing room has independent heating, cooling and humidity controls to make sure our sticker material performs exactly the same every time.
When you order custom magnets or stickers, first we prepare your artwork, then we send it to this room to be printed on a roll of either sticker vinyl or flexible magnetic material. Larger jobs may require several rolls of material just to print. But many small jobs can fit on a single roll!
Next, printed stickers and magnets head to our cutting room where they’re queued up for weatherproof lamination (stickers only) and then loaded onto our flatbed cutting machines. These computer guided swiss blades cut and score any custom shape you desire. In a matter of minutes your custom stickers are rolling off the beds and ready to head to shipping.
But it starts here, in the vinyl sticker printing room. Here your artwork is now bathed in a beautiful neon glow to infuse it with cyberpunk essence before it makes its way to your doorstep.

Take a look at this magnetic beauty! We recently whipped up some kitchen conversion magnets with a bold and easy to read design. These flex magnets measure 4.25″x3″ and are rectangular in shape with rounded corners.
Our flexible magnets are perfect for kitchens because they’ll stick to the sides of most refrigerators and even some dishwashers. They’re printed with durable eco solvent inks which means the colors won’t run or fade and they’re water resistant! Many customers like to use affordable flex magnets like this for things like listing important phone numbers, school directories, logo magnets, business card magnets and more.
For a limited time, you can get one of these kitchen measurement conversion magnets free in any order.
Our minimum for flex magnets is just 25 pieces, but you can save BIG with our generous bulk magnet discounts. The more magnets you order, the more you save!
You might like to know that our flexible magnets are printed at StandOut Stickers in Brunswick, OH, USA on material that is also made in Ohio. Talk about keeping it local! Our custom fridge magnets are made in USA through and through.

Wow! Lately we’ve seen quite an increase in orders of our custom flexible magnets, so I thought we’d take a moment to go behind-the-scenes! Let’s look at a few orders in production and talk a little about our magnetic material and a few of the customers who are ordering this product.
First things first! Our durable and flexible magnetic material is made in USA. But that’s not all. It’s actually made in Ohio! How cool is that? These flexible fridge magnets are manufactured, printed, cut and shipped to you from the same state! Talk about keeping it local, and keeping your supply chain transparent!
It seems as though a lot of people have been noticing our incredible pricing on these custom magnets. Die cut magnets have an incredibly low 25 piece minimum starting at just $20. And standard shaped flex magnets are even a little cheaper at just over 19 bucks. Standard shapes are square, rectangle, circle and oval magnets.
We can cut your magnets in any size or shape, but our standard shapes can be designed in our easy online tool which makes ordering a breeze. You’ll get an instant digital proof to approve before you checkout. This helps you get your magnets in hand fast!
How are customers using these flexible magnets? Easy! Here are some of the uses we’ve seen come through in recent weeks: save the date magnets, school magnets (both promotional and informational), event magnets like the Guac-OFF seen below, photo magnets, charity magnets, souvenir magnets, magnetic business cards and so many more.
Behind the scenes: I caught these flexible magnetic sheets in production before they shipped to Xavier university. The school has produced an informational fridge magnet in a square shape. It includes several numbers and emails for support offices to ensure students are healthy and safe.
Another production shot, this time of round magnets in production for Robert Morris University. These magnets are promoting their Colonial Cupboard which is a free student food pantry. What a great idea!
Over at Pure Buttons (our other company) we print a lot of souvenir magnets like you find in gift shops all over the world, but StandOut Stickers’ die cut, flexible magnets can serve as an attractive and even more affordable souvenir magnet solution. Just like the beauties for Lancaster Pennsylvania seen above. I just found these magnets waiting to be shrink wrapped and shipped to our customer in Lancaster earlier this morning. Luckily they don’t have far to travel from our shop in Brunswick, Ohio.
This larger die cut magnet for United Way is a really striking hands making a heart ❤️ design. I caught these in the shipping department this morning. Notice the smooth and professional outer die cut edge on these refrigerator magnets. Our magnets are a bit thicker than competitors offerings and have a very professional appearance despite their affordable price!
I think my favorite of this bunch is this handsome magnet for the 12th Annual San Francisco Guac Off. Not only is the magnet designed very nicely. It is a pleasing shape and it is for an event that I would love to attend. Maybe next year we can make an avocado-shaped magnet!
We want to make printing magnets and stickers easy and reliable. Contact us via email, phone or live chat if you have any questions for how to make your own custom flex magnets. We’re here to help!

Last week we visited the Rubber City Tattoo Invitational: a giant convention featuring hugely talented tattoo artists from all over the country, gathered right next door in Akron, OH.
We printed up a big batch of glitter stickers to give out at the event! We also printed some 2.5″ Square Pin-Back Buttons, both featuring unique logo designs for the show! There was also a unique coupon code card for visitors of the show.
Tony, the show coordinator was generous to let us set up at one of the entry tables to give away our freebies to all who entered.
StandOut Stickers sponsored gift cards for the winners of the various tattoo category competitions. $150 for best of each category and best of show won $300.
We had our vending machine filled with 1.25″ Rainbow Gloss buttons and a few of the capsules included gift cards for Pure Buttons and StandOut Stickers. Were you lucky enough to get one?
The show itself was impressive. Lots of incredible talent on display, and friendly and excited people there to share their craft. It was inspiring to say the least.
The show also had free video games and pinball machines near our table so you know we got in some games. Unfortunately, neither of us could get the super skill shot to take down the Demogorgon in the Stranger Things pinball machine.
Hopefully we’ll be back next year! To Tony and the rest of the crew: thank you for having us and being so accommodating! The show was a huge success.
