What are stickers made of and how do they work?

Stickers are made of varying materials like vinyl, which has adhesive properties. It's also very durable and can be printed on using an inkjet printer.  Stickers work by being applied to surfaces and then peeled off with ease. They are most often used for labeling, customizing items or just creating a fun project that can be shared with friends. Meaning, just about anything you can think to create for a sticker or decal can be manufactured!

What do I need to manufacture my own stickers?

Software is a necessary investment to manufacture your own stickers.

You'll need more than just a design or template in mind if you want to print your own stickers. You'd also need to invest in a printer, inkjet or laser. Design software is a great tool to have in your arsenal as well, but can cost a pretty penny.
