Sticker Giant produced a fantastic video that shows the process of how they make our slikscreened 2-color vinyl Laughing Squid stickers. Sticker Giant’s quality, pricing and turn around time is top notch and I can’t recommend them enough.
Sticker Giant is currently running a special promo through February 1st. If you are ordering stickers for SXSW, just mention this video and get $10 off the price of your order.
If you have any photos of Laughing Squid stickers, please post them to the Laughing Squid Sticker group on Flickr.

I would have guessed that the black ink would be applied first.
Cool video!
Thanks Scott,
I’ve done screen printing on a small basis. But everything in sync with the machines is awesome.
Can i still send an SASE for free stickers?
Yes, all of that information is still on our stickers page I linked to in the post: http://laughingsquid.com/laughing-squid-stickers/
Badass! I love sticker giant.
cool! thanks for the recommendation, too!
The inks go down in order of opacity. The least opaque inks go down first. Often the black plate is called the “overprint” plate.
Great designers understand printing processes and design for the process. The Laughing Squid stickers are a great example of a simple design that looks great when silkscreen printed.
In my book the master of designing for the medium is Shepard Fairey, http://www.flickr.com/photos/laughingsquid/sets/72057594097291771/
