One of my clients needed xmas stickers this year and I tested a new sticker company called Jukebox (jukeboxprint.com). I placed 4 different sticker orders. The process was simple and easy and the price was similar to StickerMule – the only extra thing I had to do was make the outline for the chair die-cut sticker – no big deal. What’s the difference? Not much. I didn’t get a discount for multiple orders and there was no free hot sauce. I also have NOT received any political emails from Jukebox – As the customer, it’s a win-win. The stickers should arrive tomorrow and I will add to this story.
If you boycott Sticker Mule, you might ask yourself, “What companies can I use instead of StickerMule?” Well, Someone (Caspercarr) on Reddit composed a decent list of 22 Sticker Mule-like service companies (see below). I have not vetted the list but we as designers/producers of art should all begin trying these new companies instead of Sticker Mule.
Based on an email (See below) sent today, it’s time to part ways with a printing vendor, Sticker Mule. I assume everyone in their privacy supports whomever they want to, but to use their email platform about hate is wrong – I didn’t sign up for political opinions, it was for product information. I thought companies knew that CUSTOMERS have relationships based on the promises of interaction of BUSINESS, not politics. I even thought it was graphically odd for the company with a mule to be supporting trump. I made Sticker Mule two new logos and a new name that might benefit their new and transparent political alignment. Just when you think it might be an above-board discussion and respectful allegiance, there was a crazy tweet (see below) When does stop the hate meaning calling someone an a$$hole? Really Anthony? Check yourself! You’re too deep in your own hate.
– – – – – Email from Anthony Constantino – – – – – – Hi Jerry,
Donald Trump was shot.
I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far. People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself.Americans shouldn’t live in fear. I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop. Hopefully this email helps.
I suggest buying one that shows you support Trump. The more people realize that millions of kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end. Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump. Don’t limit your friendships and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate.
I like to wear a small part of my artwork for the opening night. Sticker Mule did a great job this year with the ‘direct to garment’ custom t-shirt process. I was really happy with the results.
Above is a detail of the shirt graphic. The color is bright and detailed and the image is well-adhered to the fabric. I would definitely recommend Sticker Mule custom tee-shirt process to any organization needing fast efficient images applied to tee-shirts.
