-I made a spreadsheet of sticker vendors so you don't have to. And also ordered a bunch of sample packs, so you don't have to (and because I get very very into doing my research, and sample packs are very cheap).
-
-I priced out **3"x3" holographic die-cut vinyl stickers** from US-based sticker vendors at three price points: 100 (or nearest above 100), 200 (or nearest above 200), and 500. Free shipping referenced *may* require a minimum to kick in - I noted it down as free if the minimum was below the price point for 100 stickers.
-
-I did this work because my previous vendor, DieCutStickers, had notable print issues in the last batch I bought from them, and I decided to look for a new vendor. Because of this, they will not be listed.
-
-Got a recommendation not in this writeup? Feel free to [let me know](/contact) and I'll price them out and add them.
-
-I think I have to make a weird art piece now with all these samples.
-
-## Exclusions
-
-Three other vendors are mentioned but will not appear in summaries: Sticker Guy, Sticker Mule, and Sticky Brand.
-
-- Sticker Guy looks **awesome** for simple stickers (1 or maybe 2 colors printed on solid color vinyl), but holographic stickers are listed as temporarily unavailable, so I couldn't get a price quote.
-- Sticker Mule's CEO is a vocal Trump supporter.
-- Sticky Brand has started using generative AI marketing (this is secondhand information as I don't use instagram).
-
-I cannot promise that other makers do not have issues similar to Sticker Mule or Sticky Brand; this is just what I surfaced in my research.

-## Summaries
-
-### Overall summary
-
-### Quality summary
-
-Sticker Ninja - wow! Thick, sturdy vinyl that feels amazing. Plus loads of pretty finishes - I'm really noodling on what I could do on "Prism Party." They're not *the* cheapest, but for sets of 100 they're not awful, so they're probably my vendor of choice unless I'm buying more bulk (and 100 is my most common amount). I've ordered some new holo [hummingbirds](/hummingbird-become-ungovernable) from them as well as a design new to stickers, [big pidge](/big-pidges).
-
-Also, they sent me a "queer joy is a revolution" sticker in the sample pack. Also also, they seem like they have a great approach to work - they close their ordering on Sundays so they don't come in absolutely slammed on Mondays. I respect that a lot.
-
-### Pricing summary
-
-Death by Stickers stands out as *by far* the cheapest option for ~100 or maybe less, and still fairly competitive for ~200, though bumped out of the top slot by StickerGiant (however, worth noting that I couldn't get Death by Stickers samples). If you want bulk, Brick City Printing comes out ahead - and they are union!
-
-If you want really small lots, maybe try Sticker Bunnies - their pricing model is a flat per-sticker rate regardless of order size. Be aware, however, that they only take orders via email, so it may be a bit more of an involved process than most.
-
-### Ease of peeling
-
-Brick City Printing, StandOut Stickers, Sticker Junkie, StickerApp, and StickerGiant offer split backs.
-
-Bend Print Co. offers split backs or peel tabs for an increased sticker price. Sticker Robot mentions split backs in their FAQ, but sticker options only support peel tabs, also for an increased price. Vinyl Disorder offers peel tabs for an increased price.
-
-Sticker Ninja does not offer split backs.
-
-Busy Beaver, Death by Stickers, Sticker Bunnies, and StickerBros do not specify.
-

-Sticker Robot does both silkscreen and digital stickers. The silkscreen ones seem really nice, but the digital holo stickers are what I priced out and looked at. They seem decent, but nothing outstanding - I'm kinda guessing the silkscreen ones might be more standout. Silkscreen stickers offer printed backs as well. One of the samples is a "business card sticker" which is kinda neat.

-### Sticky Brand
-
-Sticky Brand has apparently gone pretty hard in on generative AI marketing. I priced them out (and ordered some stickers due to a *deep* discount\*) before learning this, so I'm noting prices down for reference, but I don't recommend them.
-
-- 100 for $118.13 - $1.18/sticker

-- USPS ground shipping rates or thereabouts
-- Couldn't find information regarding split backs
-
-\*Or well, I *thought* I ordered stickers. Here's what happened:
-
-I ordered a sample pack. I saw the discount on 100 holo stickers, realized I should have gone for that, and put in to cancel my sample pack, then ordered the 100 holo PLUS sample pack so I wasn't paying shipping twice. They then canceled my *second* order, of the 100 holo and sample pack, rather than my first. And now it's been 2 or 3 weeks and I still don't have a sample pack, because order 1 is seemingly stuck in printing. Welp.
-
-### Vinyl Disorder
-
-[Vinyl Disorder](https://vinyldisorder.com/)
-
-- 100 for $161.22 - $1.61/sticker
-- 250 for $236.25 - $0.94/sticker
-- 500 for $406.35 - $0.81/sticker
-- $5.00-$6.00 for shipping orders under $250.00; free shipping over $250.00 cannot be combined with other discounts
-- Peel tabs for 25% extra
-
-These are decent, but the price is a real deterrant. I think if you're getting more basic stickers their pricing *might* be more competitive - they are clear that holo and other premium materials are marked up 150% - but without doing those pricing tables I can't be sure. That said, I think their "cracked ice holo" is pretty cool.
