Why create custom Photo Stickers?

Think about where your photos are currently stored; buried on your phone, a laptop, or maybe they’re printed out in a photograph book that gathers dust on the shelf until that embarrassing photo needs to do the rounds…

Wherever your photos are, they’re probably not getting the attention they deserve. Your memories deserve to be more than pixels on a screen, so bring them to life by turning them into Stickers! 

What are Photo Stickers used for?

Photo Stickers have so many uses, that’s what makes them so fun! From personal projects to events, marketing and beyond. 

Personal projects

• Decorate and personalise your laptop, phone case or water bottle. 
• Stick them to gift tags or greeting cards for a personal touch. 
• Use your photo Stickers in a journal or scrapbook as a unique way to collate your memories. 
• Add them to handmade gifts.

Special events

• Photo stickers are perfect for hen and stag parties! 
• Use them as a quirky envelope seal – we especially love using our Custom Shape Sticker Sheets on Wedding Thank You Cards for this idea.

• Anniversaries, baby showers, the list goes on! 

Business and marketing
