Alchemy is a production partner built by artists, musicians, and brand owners. We've helped creators produce over 5 million custom products since 2019, and we don't operate like a promotional products company. Whether you're an indie illustrator running your first 50-piece drop, a band making merch for a tour, or a designer ordering for a brand launch, our job is the same: make the best merch we can for you.
Bumper stickers vs bumper magnets
Bumper stickers (vinyl)
Permanent application. EZ peel scoring on the back makes them easy to apply but they stay where you put them. Best for personal vehicles, food trucks, fan-base distribution, and anything where you want the design to commit to the surface.
Bumper magnets
Removable. Magnetic backing instead of adhesive. Stays on steel surfaces (most car bodies, trailer doors, refrigerators) without permanent installation. Best for company fleets, seasonal promotions, and anyone who wants the option to remove or swap the design without leaving residue. Choose magnet backing at order time.
Stock sizes
- 7.5" x 3.75" — Compact, fits smaller vehicle areas
- 11.5" x 3" — Most common, traditional bumper-sticker proportions
- 15" x 3.75" — Large, maximum visibility for fleet vehicles or food trucks
For custom sizes or non-rectangular shapes, email us with your specs and quantity for an exact quote.
Finish options
Semi-gloss laminate
Shiny, rich finish that lets colors pop. 6mil total thickness (vinyl is 2.8mil + laminate is 3.2mil). Most common choice for bumper stickers because the visibility matters.
Matte laminate
Softens colors and minimizes glare. Reads more refined. Some buyers prefer matte for designs where reflective glare from the sun would interfere.
Both finishes are outdoor-grade UV-resistant and waterproof.

How a sticker run actually works
Most orders start with a quote, not a cart. You send us your artwork (vector preferred, raster works too if it's high-resolution), and we come back with pricing, a production timeline, and any production notes within a business day or two. We'll flag anything in the file that won't translate well at print size before we move forward.
From proof approval, vinyl stickers ship in 7 to 10 days because they're produced in the USA, not overseas. That's significantly faster than custom merchandise that has to come from an overseas factory. Shipping is express and included in the price.
If you have a hard deadline, tell us before you order. We don't charge rush fees. We'll either confirm we can hit your date or tell you up front that we can't, so you can plan around it.
Why our vinyl sticker minimum is 50
Vinyl stickers are produced in the USA, so we're not running into the same overseas factory minimums that drive the 50-piece floor on enamel pins or keychains. The 50-piece sticker minimum exists because each design needs its own print setup, color calibration, cut path, and laminate run. Below 50, the per-piece cost climbs sharply because the setup gets amortized over too few units. Larger runs (100, 250, 500, 1000 and up) bring the per-piece price down meaningfully.
One sticker rule that's different from our other products: each order is a single design. We can't combine multiple designs into one order. If you have three designs at 50 each, that's three separate orders.
Who we work with
Artists running their own work: illustrators, bands, indie brand owners, podcasters, comic creators, convention sellers. Designers ordering for a brand launch, an event, a campaign, or a customer giveaway. Agencies and design studios producing merch for their clients. Merch companies running production for the artists they represent. The common thread is that the merch matters: it's representing a brand, a band, an artist, or a project that someone cares about.

Common questions
How long do bumper stickers last outdoors?
3 to 5 years with normal use. The protective laminate prevents UV fading and weathering; the 6mil vinyl resists peeling, cracking, and abrasion. Apply to clean, dry surfaces for best adhesion.
Will magnets work on my car?
Magnets work on steel-bodied vehicles (most cars, trucks, vans, trailers). They won't stick to aluminum, fiberglass, or plastic body panels. If you're not sure, the easiest test is to put any household magnet against your bumper area; if it sticks, our magnets will too.
Can I split an order across multiple designs?
No. Each order is a single design only. Three designs = three separate orders.
Can you make custom shapes besides rectangles?
Yes. We can die-cut bumper stickers to any shape your design needs. Email us with your shape, size, and quantity for a custom quote.
How long does a bumper sticker order take?
7 to 10 days from proof approval to your door, including express shipping.
What about magnetic stickers for refrigerators or whiteboards?
Same magnetic vinyl works on any steel surface, not just vehicles. Refrigerators, whiteboards, lockers, filing cabinets all work. Bumper magnets at smaller sizes make great branded giveaways.
Do I see a proof before production?
Yes. Digital proof for review before printing. Revisions until you approve.
