How to Make Stickers with Your Poster Printer

Looking for a creative new way to use your poster printer? Try turning your designs into custom stickers. With just a few simple steps, you can print vibrant, full-color stickers on adhesive vinyl – perfect for PBIS rewards, fundraisers, or student projects.

In this guide, we’ll walk through how to design, print, and cut stickers using your Educator Plus Poster Printer and Cut Out Studio Vinyl Cutter. Even if you don’t have a cutter, you can still print stickers and cut them out manually – so anyone can try this project.

Why Make Stickers with a Poster Printer?

Poster printers aren’t just for wall displays – they’re creative powerhouses. By printing on adhesive vinyl instead of standard paper, you can make:

  • Stickers for school spirit or club branding
  • Labels for classroom organization or storage
  • Custom decals for laptops, water bottles, or lockers
  • Rewards for your PBIS or SEL program
  • Art projects or student-run store products

Because the printer handles full-color designs beautifully, your stickers will look professional and last far longer than standard printed labels.

What You’ll Need

You don’t need much to get started – just a few tools and materials you may already have:

That’s it! Everything else depends on how you choose to cut out your stickers.

How to Make Stickers with a Poster Printer

The process is simple – you’re really just designing, printing, and cutting. Here’s how it works.

1. Design Your Stickers

Start with a fun idea or logo. You can design in any program you’re comfortable with – Canva, PosterArtist, or Adobe Illustrator all work great.

Keep in mind:

  • Use bright, high-contrast colors that print well.
  • Leave a small border or “bleed” around your designs if you plan to cut them out with scissors.
  • If you’re using a vinyl cutter, include a thin outline or contour path around each sticker shape.

You can fit multiple designs on one page to save material.

2. Print on Adhesive Vinyl

Load your adhesive vinyl into the poster printer and print your designs.

A few quick tips:

  • If you’re using a vinyl cutter for this project, use a print-and-cut software for this step.
  • Choose the media profile that matches your vinyl type.
  • Make sure your print settings are set to “actual size” (no scaling).

Once printed, you’ll have a sheet of colorful, durable sticker material ready to cut.

3. Cut Out Your Stickers

Here’s where you have two options:

Option 1: Cut by Hand

Don’t have a vinyl cutter? No problem.

You can still print your stickers on adhesive vinyl and cut them out with scissors or a craft trimmer. It’s a simple, low-tech way to start experimenting – especially for small runs or classroom projects.

Option 2: Use a Vinyl Cutter

If you have a vinyl cutter like the Cut Out Studio, this step gets even easier.

Load the printed sticker sheet into your vinyl cutter, making sure to properly align the registration marks and set the cutting pressure.

The vinyl cutter will help you get smooth, consistent shapes with minimal effort – perfect for larger batches or when students are producing designs for sale or fundraising.

Creative Uses for Your Stickers

Once you’ve got the hang of sticker making, the possibilities are endless. Here are a few school-friendly ideas to get started:

  • PBIS Stores: Let students spend points on personalized or themed stickers.
  • Fundraisers: Sell school logo stickers, club emblems, or art designs.
  • Student Recognition: Create “Caught Being Kind” or achievement badges.
  • Art Projects: Have students design and trade their own sticker packs.
  • Entrepreneurship Programs: Launch a student-run sticker shop as part of a business education or CTE course.
  • Decorating: Label classroom supplies, laptops, or water bottles.

Stickers are inexpensive to produce but high in impact – and they’re a great way to bring students’ digital designs to life.

Tips for Success

  • Test print a small batch before committing to a full sheet.
  • Keep blades sharp if you’re using a vinyl cutter for clean edges.
  • Test the cutting pressure on your cutter before you start.
  • Encourage students to prototype digitally before printing.
  • If you’re going to laminate your stickers, laminate them before cutting.

FAQ: Common Questions About Making Stickers with a Poster Printer

Can my poster printer make stickers?

Yes! If your printer can handle adhesive backed vinyl, you can print stickers right away. You’ll just need to cut them out manually or with a vinyl cutter.

Getting Started with 3D Printing in the Classroom: Beginner’s Guide

3D printing has moved from industry labs into everyday classrooms. Today, schools of all sizes are using this technology to make learning more engaging, hands-on, and creative. Whether students are building models of ecosystems, printing parts for engineering projects, or designing custom classroom tools, 3D printing gives them a chance to bring ideas into the real world.

For many educators, the hardest step is knowing how to begin. Which printer makes sense for a classroom? What projects will spark interest? How do teachers build confidence without feeling like experts? This guide answers those questions while introducing the Imagin3D Package from AGC Education – a complete solution designed to help schools launch 3D printing programs with ease.

Why 3D Printing Belongs in the Classroom

3D printing supports learning across nearly every subject area, making it one of the most versatile tools schools can introduce. Instead of staying siloed in one department, it creates opportunities for collaboration between teachers, subjects, and grade levels – lending itself well to project-based learning.

  • STEM Integration: Students explore design thinking, engineering, and real-world problem solving.
  • Math Connections: Geometry, measurement, and scale become tangible through models students can hold.
  • Science Exploration: From molecules to fossils, printed models help learners visualize abstract concepts.
  • Arts and Humanities: Projects like dioramas and storytelling artifacts blend creativity with content knowledge.
  • Career and Technical Education (CTE): Students gain exposure to tools used in modern industries such as healthcare, architecture, and manufacturing.

By combining creativity with technical skills, 3D printing not only enriches daily classroom learning but also prepares students for the future.




Not every 3D printer is a good fit for education. Many consumer models are built for hobbyists or industry, not the classroom. Schools need printers that are safe, dependable, and simple to manage – tools designed to meet the unique demands of teaching and learning.

That’s where the Imagin3D Package comes in. Built with an Artillery core, this bundle is designed to meet the specific needs of educators and students.

Key features include:

  • Enclosed Build Chamber with Lighting and Ventilation: Keeps prints contained, reduces odors, and allows teachers to monitor projects safely.
  • Auto Bed Leveling: Eliminates calibration headaches so prints succeed on the first try.
  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: Teachers can send files directly to the printer without swapping USB drives.
  • Starter Kit Included: Comes with five colors of PLA filament and a complete toolkit for maintenance and finishing.
  • Peace of Mind: A two-year warranty, plus U.S.-based support from AGC Education.

This combination of features means teachers can focus on projects instead of troubleshooting.

Imagin3D printer for schools



Having a printer is only part of the equation. Teachers also need ideas that fit into real classrooms. That’s why AGC developed STEM3D Lesson Starters — 20 ready-to-use activities that make it simple to introduce 3D printing across content areas.

Examples include:

  • Dig A Dino: Print and assemble a dinosaur skeleton for a hands-on science project.
  • De-Stress Plan: Design and print fidget spinners while exploring balance and rotational movement.
  • Measuring 3D Angles: Create tools that connect geometry to engineering practice.
  • Build a Diorama: Print plants, animals, and scenery to build detailed dioramas for history or ELA.

These lessons provide a solid foundation while allowing teachers to adapt and add their own creative touches.




Even with the best 3D printer in the world, success in the classroom comes down to one thing: teacher confidence. That’s why every Imagin3D Package includes access to EmpowR Academy, our professional development program built specifically for educators.

EmpowR is designed to meet teachers and schools exactly where they are. Whether you’re brand new to 3D printing or looking to connect technology with broader schoolwide goals, there’s a level that fits your needs.

Standard

Perfect for beginners, this level provides step-by-step guidance on using the equipment. Teachers learn setup, slicing software, filament loading, classroom safety, and troubleshooting. Standard ensures every educator can get started with confidence right out of the box.

Premier

For schools ready to move beyond “how it works” into “how it fits,” Premier focuses on curriculum connections and classroom integration. Teachers receive lesson templates, ready-to-use STL files, and resources that tie directly into math, science, ELA, and art projects. This level bridges the gap between technology and teaching, making 3D printing a natural extension of the curriculum.

Platinum

Designed for schools that want 3D printing to support bigger initiatives, Platinum goes beyond classroom integration. In addition to all the Premier resources, it includes advanced professional development on connecting 3D printing with PBIS, SEL, climate and culture, and even fundraising efforts. Platinum equips educators not just to use 3D printing, but to leverage it as a tool for schoolwide growth and transformation.


With this tiered approach, teachers aren’t locked into a “one-size-fits-all” training. Instead, schools can choose the path that makes sense for their staff and their goals — knowing they’ll have the support and resources to succeed at every step.

When schools buy a 3D printer off-the-shelf, they often discover that help is limited or nonexistent once the box is open. That’s where AGC stands out. We know teachers don’t have time to dig through forums or troubleshoot alone, which is why every Imagin3D Package comes backed by people and resources designed specifically for education.

Our U.S.-based team of education specialists is always just a phone call or email away, ready to walk you through any challenge. Whether you’re unboxing your printer for the first time or tackling a complex classroom project, you’ll have step-by-step guidance that grows with you. Beyond technical help, schools also gain access to education-specific resources – including ready-to-use lesson starters, professional development opportunities, and ongoing updates tailored for teachers.

This combination of personal support and classroom-ready content means schools are never left to figure things out alone. Instead, teachers can focus on what matters most: guiding students and inspiring creativity.




Launching a 3D printing program doesn’t need to feel overwhelming. Most schools start small with simple projects – keychains, classroom tools, or basic prototypes – and gradually build confidence. With each success, teachers and students begin to imagine bigger possibilities and take on more ambitious work.

Over time, those first projects can evolve into:

  • Robotics parts and engineering prototypes
  • Projects that support school-wide initiatives like PBIS or fundraising
  • Cross-curricular projects that combine science, math, and art
  • Career-focused CTE applications such as medical models or architectural drafts
  • Extracurricular STEAM clubs and makerspaces

The Imagin3D Package is built to support that growth. It provides a solid foundation that lets teachers and schools expand at their own pace – whether you want to start with small classroom wins or develop a full-scale program that transforms how students learn and engage.
