Sticker design.

Sticker designs.

It took too long to get these right.  Learning out the hard way every time.

At first my plan was to just print off my logo and fold it over the top of the bag to keep it sealed.
I then thought it would make sense to be able to see the logo from each side, so I had to design a sticker and manipulate my logo for this to happen, and unfortunately, this is where my simple mind got it wrong.

So, first of all, I used a rectangular piece of stock and printed two logos on it.  Once I printed it off and after i'd stuck it on I realised the logo was the wrong way round on one side.

 

Then I go spend a whole lotta money down in the digital dungeon on the vinyl printer/cutter, only to realise when I stick it on the bag that I printed the logo incorrectly.

However, by now I had realised that this design was working, even if the colours were wrong.  By replicating the logo on either side like shown above and then linking the two where the vinyl cutter would leave it would be strong enough to hold the bag together, but weak enough to keep the rest of the sticker on the bag instead of ripping down- giving the bag a spot varnish logo that has a physical function as well as a visual one.

Final mock-ups.  Correct.
