SIDE QUESTS ARE WHERE THE GOOD STUFF STARTS.

01 /// Made to Order

Custom Stickers

Your idea. Your brand. Your sticker.

Custom shapes, sizes, quantities, and artwork. Send a finished file, a rough sketch, or a sentence describing what you want — all three are a fine place to start.

02 ///Scope

What I Can Make

01 ///

Your Artwork, Produced

Send finished art and it gets prepped, proofed, and produced. Files are checked for resolution, bleed, and cut path before anything runs.

02 ///

Artwork Refined

You have something close — a logo, a sketch, a photo of a drawing. It gets redrawn or cleaned up until it holds at sticker size.

03 ///

Designed From Scratch

You have an idea and a use for it. Design happens here, from concept through to the file that goes to production.

04 ///

Brand and Packaging Stickers

Logo stickers, seals, box labels, and the small utilitarian pieces that make a shipment look considered.

03 ///Formats

Shapes and Sizes

01 ///

Die-Cut

Cut to the outline of the artwork. Best for marks, shapes, and anything that shouldn't sit in a rectangle.

02 ///

Square and Rectangle

Standard sizes from roughly 1 to 6 inches. The workhorse format for labels and statements.

03 ///

Circle and Oval

Seals, badges, and marks. Useful when the sticker needs to read as a stamp rather than a sign.

04 ///

Sheets and Kiss-Cut

Several designs on one backing, cut through the vinyl only. Good for packs, kits, and packaging inserts.

Not sure which format fits? Describe where the sticker is going and what it has to survive, and the material, finish, and cut get chosen around that.

04 /// Artwork

Design Help

Artwork is part of the job, not an upsell. If you have a finished vector file, it gets prepped and proofed. If you have a logo that was never drawn for a two-inch die-cut, it gets redrawn until it holds at that size.

And if you have nothing but a description, that’s a design job — scoped and priced up front, before anything gets made.

05 /// Run Sizes

Short Runs
Small quantities for an event, a launch, a test, or a first look at how the artwork actually prints.
Larger Runs
Higher quantities once the design is settled and the proof is approved. Per-unit cost drops as the run grows.
Repeat Orders
Approved files are kept on hand, so a reorder is a message rather than a whole new project.

06 ///Six Steps

How the Process Works

Full Process
  1. Step 01

    Send the Idea

    A sentence, a sketch, or a finished file. All three are a fine place to start.

  2. Step 02

    Define Size, Quantity, and Use

    Where it's going and how many you need. This drives material, finish, and cut.

  3. Step 03

    Create or Refine Artwork

    New artwork gets made; existing artwork gets prepped and checked at final size.

  4. Step 04

    Approve the Proof

    You see exactly what will print, including the cut line. Nothing runs before you say so.

  5. Step 05

    Produce

    The run is printed, cut, checked, and packed.

  6. Step 06

    Stick It Somewhere

    The only step with no deliverable and no deadline.

Questions

What file should I send?

Vector art (SVG, AI, PDF, EPS) is ideal. A high-resolution PNG works for many designs. A phone photo of a sketch is enough to start a conversation — it just means artwork time gets added.

What's the minimum quantity?

Short runs are genuinely short. Tell me what you need and you'll get pricing for the quantity you actually want rather than the quantity that's convenient to print.

Are they weatherproof?

Standard vinyl is water-resistant and holds up outdoors. If a sticker is going on something that lives outside permanently, say so up front and the material gets chosen for it.

Can I use my own logo?

Yes, as long as you have the right to use it. You keep the rights to your artwork; SQO keeps the rights to original SQO designs.

Do you take payment on the site?

No. Custom work is quoted and invoiced directly. The Etsy shop handles anything that's already in production.

Tell me what you're making, roughly how many you need, and where it's going.

You'll get a specific number rather than a range that fits everything.
