About Us

The Sticker Collective is a group of friends in Amsterdam who design & print stickers for leftist organisations and individuals.

We think that the world under capitalism is unsustainable, and needs a radical change. Otherwise our planet will overheat, we will work to death in the name of profit, and attack each other instead of the privileged few.

The status quo maintains power through cultural hegemony, where ideas are repeated until they feel like 'common sense'. We want to help build a counter-power, making it easier for anyone to distribute their own messaging.

It all started at the Red Line Protest in Amsterdam on Oct 5 2025, which was the 3rd largest protest in the Netherlands in history!

Our original idea was to collect a few donations to cover our own printing costs. But then people were so excited about our stickers, and it was so fun to give them out, that we continued.

Since then we often have a table at large demonstrations in the country, including the Climate March & Feminism March, where we each gave out tens of thousands of self-designed stickers.

Then in the beginning of 2026 we bought our own professional printer and industrial paper cutting machine, funded entirely through those donations!

This is huge because it means we can produce stickers whenever needed on demand, and can print endless designs for just the material cost of paper & ink. And we don't have to rely on the predatory volume pricing of commercial print companies!

Our stickers are printed on paper, which is a trade-off. It means they degrade after a few months outside in the rain, but also that they recycle and don't become toxic trash like the PVC stickers given out by nearly all other online shops.

Shortly afterwards we also started this website, as a catalog of all our designs, because by now we had too many to bring each time! It's been amazing since then to send out stickers to so many different countries we'd never reach otherwise.

And we also started to print & distribute material for other activist groups, like the Global Sumud Flotilla NL, Dolle Mina Amsterdam, or the International Socialists.

To give more people the chance to make their own designs, we started hosting bi-monthly design evenings in Amsterdam!

Where we bring the material, people bring creativity / rage against the system, and it gets turned into stickers to distribute.

We want to expand that part even more: making it super easy for anyone to print their ideas through us.

Do you want to help? With anything from making your own designs, producing the stickers, organizing events, or helping give them out?

Or do you want us to distribute stickers, posters, or flyers for your organization?
