Welcome to our brand new blog series featuring some of our favorite people and companies to work with! In this series I’ll be sharing and recommending companies that we have personal experience with so that it hopefully makes your life a little easier when you’re searching for the same type of partners.
3 Things We Love About Sticker Mule
There are only a couple merch companies that we can whole-heartedly recommend and Sticker Mule is one of them! They offer high quality and affordable customizable products including stickers, buttons, acrylic pins, branded packing tape, labels, and more.
1. Amazing weekly promotions

It sounds a bit silly to be a “fan” of a merch company, but if you get an adrenaline rush from good deals like I do then you’ll understand. What made me remember Sticker Mule after ordering from them for the first time was that every week they put a product on sale, and send out a very short & sweet email about it. And by “on sale”, I mean you’ll usually save well over 25% on your order. This makes a huge difference when you’re ordering small products that you likely can’t make too much of a profit on. The weekly promotional sales are also a great time to purchase promo products for your merch store or your business! Recently, we purchased 50 buttons for $20 with their weekly promotion, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find prices like that at such a low order quantity. If you want even more bang for your buck, use our referral code for $10 off your order!
2. Easy ordering process

No matter what product you’re ordering, you can easily upload your custom design, and then get a proof of the order before it’s finalized. You’ll get a text and an email when the proof is ready, and from there you can make changes if the product doesn’t look how you imagined. One Friday night, I was trying to get my order in before midnight so that I could take advantage of that week’s deal. I was a bit worried the proof wouldn’t come back in time for me to finalize the order, but was pleasantly surprised when my revision of the proof was ready to view in less than an hour.
If you’re ordering stickers, quality is super important especially if you envision the stickers being used outdoors on car windows or being put up all around town for some good old fashioned, guerilla-style marketing. Thankfully, there’s a helpful sticker printing guide so you can make sure that the quality of your custom stickers will be up to snuff!
Free swag with every purchase
3. High quality service + products
I’ve purchased several different products over the years for our artists, and what I’ve received in the mail has never disappointed. There’s something nostalgic and exciting about receiving a physical package on your doorstep, and Sticker Mule includes a bunch of well-branded swag with each order so that it actually feels like you’re getting a gift delivered to your house. When it comes to ordering online from a company, what keeps people coming back for more is the small, unexpected touches of detail that you receive with an order. Sticker Mule does this super well, and even offers branded packaging on their site in case you’re inspired to up your merch delivery game too.
