Laptop Stickers vs. Bumper Stickers
StickerGiant-Laptop-Sticker-vs-Bumper-Sticker When it comes to classic uses for stickers, there's the bumper sticker and the laptop sticker. Both of these familiar locations hold an amazing opportunity for brand awareness and customer loyalty. The differences and similarities between bumper sticker and laptop stickers are subtle, yet distinct. We'll try to explain some of ways that these sticker uses complement one another while building a brand promotional strategy. Let's take an outdoor industry or travel brand, for example. This company might want to have a smaller design of their logo for laptops or water bottles, while also adding in a larger format design for a cooler or a truck bumper. Both of these require durability, but of a slightly different nature. A bumper sticker needs to be outdoor durable, and the laptop sticker needs to be long-lasting for lots of in-and-out of backpacks.

Designing a Laptop or Bumper Sticker

So you're ready to create a promotional sticker for your brand, and now you have to start designing the sticker itself. First, you'll start with the size. A bumper sticker is going to be much bigger than a laptop sticker, so keep that in mind. On our Templates page, you can find Bumper Sticker templates in three sizes: 9.25 x 2.5 inches, 10 x 2.5 inches and 11.5 x 3.0 inches. That's a pretty big piece of sticky real estate for your design, so you'll have to have big, bold text that someone can read from ten feet away at a stop sign or on a cooler across a field. This is a chance to make a serious impression at a glance. Stick to a few simple colors that complement one another, and make sure to get your logo in a prominent place in the design. Another classic shape for a bumper or car sticker is the oval shaped sticker, which we highlighted in our Top Ten Stickers of All Time due to the popularity in American tourist destinations and European countries. For a laptop sticker, you'll want to go smaller, think a 3x3 inch circle or a 4x3 inch rectangle. Since it's on a laptop and someone might be closer to the design itself, you can have smaller text, and you can include a fun phrase or your branding along with a website address or a social handle. You can pick between matte and glossy finish for this kind of sticker, but the matte is a nice touch because of how it feels against the metal or plastic of a laptop or tablet case.
