#merch tips

[sovonight]

If it’s no trouble, could I ask where you get your stickers made/manufactured through? They’re lovely quality and I was hoping to find someone who offered holo customizations too.

i make my stickers myself! i print + apply holo film + cut on a silhouette portrait.

but as for places to get holo stickers made in general, i've heard of artists ordering from sticker bunnies (offers broken glass holo, plus a whole bunch of other sticker types) and spooky stickers (offers starry holo, and a die cut peel edge option which i like). they both offer sample packs so you can see what the quality's like before you order!

vograce and zap!creatives have holo options too, but... ://// i’ve gotten burned ordering from them before. zap printed my colors lifeless and dull, and vograce made my colors way oversaturated and dark, to the point where i just ended up giving most of them away. i feel like zap & vograce have been going down in quality over the years anyway, but that was my final straw in ordering from them & was part of why i ended up finally getting a silhouette

#sovo art #merch tips #i get the holo struggle though T_T everyone has holo vinyl/paper but not the holo overlay film #my next quest is to find a way to get holo heart buttons without talking to a manu directly... i'd make them myself but i've ordered #custom buttons from like etsy before and noticed a looot of wrinkling/defects and heard that the heart mold is kinda finicky #so it's like one of the last things that everyone else usually makes themselves that i still want to have made for me skejfnse

shitty phone pics BUT I got my keychains in from Vograce today! This was my first time ordering from them, it took me a while to take the plunge because I had heard mixed reviews on them, but I'm pleased to say that my first time buying from them went really well! This isn't really meant to be any sort of formal 'review' post or anything, just sharing my own experiences of how it went for other artists who might be interested in using their services or getting into making physical merch and need some tips :>

The acrylic is SUPER solid and the keychains themselves feel very well made and reliable, so there should be very little chance of these things breaking on anyone ! They came with protective film on both sides (which took me a hot second to figure out if there even was any because it was so secured to the acrylic LMAO) and each one came packaged in a soft baggie which were then packaged in a ziplock and then put in a secure box, so they were very well protected during the trip :> The nice thing is that the soft baggies are compostable, but they can easily be reused as packaging when they're sold so I'm gonna make sure to bring them with me when I take them to my shows!

I think my only gripe is that the colors are a little more desaturated than what I was expecting, but this also isn't the first time I've ordered custom acrylic so at this point I know it's more so a consequence of the material, so I'll probably saturate the colors a bit more next time I place an order. It should also be noted that if you're an artist yourself who's interested in Vograce's products, their turnaround time can be a little on the slower side, so don't order these expecting them to turn up in a week, plan ahead!! (though I've been told by other artists who actually make money that if you put 'urgent' in the care instructions, that can actually help speed up the process? I have yet to try this though and I'd rather not do that if I'm not actually in a rush LOL)

All in all this was a very successful test run, I'll be selling these guys at my first convention (I have about 15 of them so not too many that I'll wind up overstocked in case they don'8t sell well and not too much money lost , it cost me about $40 after shipping) and then after that I'll be placing another bigger order for more! They also sell washi tape so I'm DYING to design something for that aaahhh <3

Do you use a consistent tag for all of your asks about sticker production and general product making? I'm interested in learning myself, (and I have a million questions lol), but I'm pretty sure you've answered them a few times over already. If you don't have a tag, no worries! And have a great day, I am a total fiend for your Atton content 🧡

i didn't, but i've added one now!

and if you're looking for places to get stuff made, there are lists online like merchandise resources and merchandising and conventions 101, and group orders like catstealers kittenbomb and margalita pizza

Owlcrate's 2023 Black Friday sale starts later this week, so I want to share Nevermoor items that you can currently buy and items that might be sold soon. If they aren't sold in this sale, they will likely go up at a later date if there is still stock available.

Step Boldly 'Hollowpox' Sticker

Hometrain Book Sleeve

Wunimal Institute Pennant Flag

The Book Of Ghostly Hours Reading Kit

Book Bug Battle Puzzle

Wundrous Water Bottle Sleeve

Step Boldly And Burn Brightly Wooden Bookmark

Coming Soon:

Nevermoor-inspired Bookworm Bowl

Hollowpox-inspired LED illusion light

#nevermoor #nevermoor merch #“coming soon” is more like “possibly coming soon. I hope.” but that was obviously too long. #I have this all except the bookmark bc I don't use bookmarks. but I might get it as I get the bowl just to add it to my connection. #I have the illumicrate stickers + the step boldly. I need to find a way to display them with the bookmark that doesn't require using them.. #anyways. fen bowl will def be sold bc owlcrate told me so! I am just guessing on the light. I have that from someone selling it online. #final pro tip: the water bottle sleeve is SMALL. completely unusable for me. :( . I need to find a new use for it. #final final note: I've been slacking on making the page to compile all existing merch / prints / extra art. it will come soon. #I also have been slacking on properly scanning and uploading the trading cards which is my bad. I keep forgetting 😅

I've been wanting to share my merch haul from the recent PokeCon that happened in my country last month - so I thought to start off with these adorable frosted charms I got from Plupip !!! 💖💕✨

I fell in looove with these silly guys on sight - you actually get the choice to either pick out ones to buy individually, or get two different ones at random through a little gacha toy she has stationed at her booth. That's how I got a majority of these - with the most recent ones being my own online orders, hehe :} 💫

She has an online shop with the whole 60+ (and counting!) catalogue of Pokémon charms along with other merch like plushies, shirts, and pins, so do check her out when y'all can! 🥺💖💖💖

#fluff speaks !!! #not sponsored hehe I just wanted to talk about these since foreverrrrrr since THEY'RE JUST SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAUGHGWHGHGHG #The Slowpoke is one of my top faves just Look at how peaceful he is 🥺😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 #this is the very tip of the iceberg when it comes to my PokeCon haul - there's a whole buncha local artists I wanna promote here as well :} #something to also heal my soul a bit from some really difficult times I'm in #(I still need time to properly process everything and confront it directly but . in time. hopefully things will be alright) #fluff merch haul #pokemon #pokemon merch #pokemon charms #slowpoke #mudkip #gengar #growlithe #teddiursa #mew #piplup #rockruff
