I guess its a thing.

Can I purchase sticker paper by that i mean a peelable paper that I can print on in colour using my standard inkjet then cut up to make individual stickers that are peel and stick?

Thanks

Great thank you.
I've been reading and watching tutorials and from what I can make out this will be a 2 process kind of thing. 1st the print and then the cut which I presume something like a craftrobo will do ?

Am i understanding this all correctly ?

End product would be a sheet of A4 stickers pre cut ready to peel.

Thanks all
Mark

A few points -

1. You need a cutter capable of reading registration marks to align the cuts with the print.

2. You. need to 'kiss-cut' the stickers, ie. cut only through the top layer and not through the backing (not always easy to get right).

3. Ordinary dye ink in an inkjet printer tends to fade, especially if subjected to sunlight, so may have some effect on the longevity of your stickers.

How many sheets do you want fella?
I have about 100 sheets here I use for overseas labels you can have some if you want some?

I can send you 25 sheets if you pm your address.
they are matt white and I have printed and cut using my graphtec too without issue.
If using for medium term use (not years) laminate them before cutting.

I see that works out at 67p per sheet (with free postage, and while the 'buy 20, get 20 free' limited offer lasts).

While these offers seem good, beware of the time they may remove the offer and you will be left paying twice as much. According to Sod's Law, this usually occurs when you have big orders coming in and you will either have to be pay the price, or scratch around for suppliers offering the same but cheaper. Not always easy to do.
