Making your handmade sticker work
Makers label their work with a handmade sticker so buyers know a person, not a factory, made it. It goes on boxes, bags and the products themselves, and it often names the town, which buyers love.
What to write on it
- Handmade, or Made by hand, as the main words.
- A short line naming the place, such as with love in Portland.
- Your maker name or mark, small.
One tip
Use the same sticker on everything you make, from candles to cards. Consistency across products makes a small range look like a brand. On craft fairs and market tables, a sticker on every item also answers the question shoppers ask most: did you make this yourself? Keep the design simple enough to work in one colour, so it suits kraft, white and coloured packaging alike.
