Don't worry, those Fediverse stickers were like 4 cents each, not much waste.

Where can I buy such nice and cheap stickers?

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Dunno, but these are just cheap paper stickers, although outdoor ones wouldn't be much more expensive, I wanted to go the cheapest to see what I'll get.

Local print shop. Here I chose A3 page "indoor matte" for €3.57. What I decide to do with that is on me. I put 88 Fediverse stickers on it, but if I wanted, it could have simply been 1 huge sticker.
"Outdoor matte" SRA3 (slightly larger than A3) would have been €5.29.

But processing is fully on you. You need to give them the printing template and cut templates. You also need to be careful about tolerances and spacings. Cutting tolerance is +/- 1.5mm, kiss-cut stickers need to have 5mm of spacing, die-cut 2-3cm, and they cost additional €1. Kiss-cut is thus most economical, and the result sticker is the same, you just get a large sheet rather than separate stickers, but you can just use scissors obviously.

I had to figure out how to do that in Inkscape.
Result:

I could have perhaps shifted them to fit a few more, but anyway.

you should sell fediverse stickers on Etsy. I'm sure youd make money from it

Is the plushie big or small... or the banana big or small or... the keyboard big or small? Gah! Fuck that reddit banana joke can’t we do "30 centimetres ruler for scale" or something on the Fediverse?! I’ll even take inches at this point. /rant (Not mad at you OP, I know this is convention at this point. Hug that plushie for me.)
