Sticker Company Comparison
Every wonder how different sticker vendors stack up against each other?
Me too.
That's why I placed an order from 7 different companies and made this comparison chart.
I ordered the same two pieces of artwork from each company. One of the designs had a white background, the other had a dark gray background.
Some observations:
- I originally had a category for paper quality, but decided that durability was a better indicator of that. My original winner of paper quality was a 3-way tie between Car Stickers, Sticker Mule, and Sticker Ninja.
- Sticker Giant was the only one with a scored backing which made it very easy to remove the sticker from its backing.
- Sticker App and Sticker Ninja exist in polar opposite worlds. Sticker App's website is fantastic and their shipping speed was incredible, but the stickers themselves were easily the lowest quality of the 7. Sticker Ninja, on the other hand, was arguably the best overall quality of sticker, but the worst website (it's pretty awful) and the slowest fulfillment speed of the 7.
- My overly simplified take on each company:
• Car Stickers: Best for intricate and text heavy designs
• Death by Stickers: Lowest price, lowest minimums, but you get what you pay for
• Sticker App: I would not order from them again
• Sticker Giant: I would not order from the again
• Sticker Mule: Best for ordering numerous designs (most frictionless ordering and proofing by a mile)
• Sticker Ninja: Best value (very good quality for the price), but min order is 50 stickers
• Vinyl Disorder: I would not order from them again
Apparently I can't add an image for whatever reason, so here is a link to the comparison:

Edit 1: corrected minimum order allowed on Sticker Ninja from 100 to 50.
Edit 2: Following the recommendation of u/SheGeeksLife, I tried out Sticker Blitz. I scored them second lowest on print quality (one spot ahead of Death by Stickers) given that the artwork and text was a little fuzzy. However, I would rank them high in almost every other category. Website is modern and easy to use. Cost was $1.68/sticker with a minimum order of 10 (they sent me 12). Appears to be the same material as Sticker Ninja which I ranked as the most durable. And their color accuracy was second only to Car Stickers. I placed the order Fri at 4:00pm MT and they were delivered 11am Wed morning, making them the fastest of the 8. They did however lack ordering options making them good only for basic stickers.
