subject: Making Your Stickers Noticeable by:Charen Smith [print this page] When you print labels, you mean them to be noticed. Labels or stickers of course need to be read and understood, but your audience should of course know where they are first. There are many ways to capture people's attention when it comes to sticker printing. You need to be innovative in your sticker printing designs when figuring those ways out, but generally it is about the look and feel of your sticker.
Optimizing your colors
The color is one of the important decisions for any label printing design. The sticker's color should really be eye-catching, and it has to contrast with its environment so that it can be easily spotted. Usually the colors red, orange and yellow are the most noticeable and most people print labels in those colors especially if the label message is an important warning or notice.
On the other hand, stickers that are used as product labels and classification devices can come at every color of the rainbow that you want. The important thing about using color on them is that it should be different from anything else. For example, for product labels, it is best to use a color that is not related t o your rival product color. If they are mainly red, then go for blues or greens. This makes sure that your labels and the products attached to them are distinct from anyone else.
Rationalizing font styles
The font of your sticker is also an important part if you want to get noticed. People make the wrong assumption here that the most creative fonts usually win stand out contests. However, the most effective and easily understood labels are the ones that are simple and direct to the point. Since labels are stickers are meant to be read quickly, it must also be understood quickly. So try and use simple fonts that are thick or big. The word for text printing is that bigger and more prominent fonts are the most effective since they will catch the information better and faster.
Proper use of Images
Images are also a big factor to make stickers stand out. This is especially true for larger full color sticker labels. You have to choose and image that best represents the message of your sticker. For example, if your message is a warning about a live electrical wiring, then you need to add an electricity symbol, or a cartoon of a person getting shocked, just so that you can reinforce your message. For product sticker labels the best images to use are the company's logo or the symbol of the product's main theme. The text and image of a sticker must work together so that they can really stand out as a whole.
Account for the label size
Lastly, a label's size can be adjusted to capture attention. Especially for important labels, printing stickers in large sizes is the best so that people can really notice what the label is all about. Of course match your label size with your message. Print only as big as needed so that you don't waste money in printing bigger. Just go for the sticker design that can fit your messages and images snugly, and is big enough to be read and appreciated.
Good! The next time you invest in sticker printing, remember these four main facts, and you should be producing stickers or labels with the best possible chance of getting noticed.
