Bumper stickers are almost as old as the automobile itself when some wag having shelled out for a Model T decided it was breaking down far too often, took too much maintenance and generally was not a good deal – this disgruntled customer came up with the anti-marketing slogan the Ford Motor Company has come to hate:

FORD = Fix Or Repair Daily!

Apart from disgruntled car buyers, bumper stickers have become a part of the daily commute and road trip scene and the search is on for something better than, “My Kid is an Honor Student” or “Vote for Whoever”

Here are the Top 10 bumper stickers compiled with the help of Facebook which are gracing our automobiles today:

Constipated People Don’t Give a Crap!

Oops, I Think My Karma Just Ran Over Your Dogma

Be Nice To Nerds – Chances Are You’ll End Up Working For One

I Child-Proofed My House, But They Still Get In

Caution: I Drive Like You

I Have the Body of a God: Buddha

Illiterate? Write for Help

Better to be a Smart Ass than a Dumb Ass

Ever Stop to Think…And Forget to Start Again?

Heart Attacks: God’s Revenge for Eating His Animal Friends

Obviously, most of these are pretty coarse and what you’d expect from the college students – you know the type, future leaders, captains of industry, doctors, dentists, lawyers and generally the future.

If your own taste varies or even if it doesn’t, how do you get your hands on a bumper sticker which may contain the same lines but has something very different to offer?

More than this, where on earth do you go to find a supplier who will take your ideas and designs and come up with very own, unique and no-one else has it bumper sticker?

The answer is simple – turn on the computer and enter “bumper sticker printing” into your search engine and see how many search results come back offering their services for printing your very own bumper sticker! We recommend MaverickLabel.com.

The question isn’t where do you get them from but how do you select from the hundreds of thousands of printers out there offering their services?

First, make sure you are dealing with a company which has a physical address and landline telephone number here in the US.

Second, check the prices they are offering and whether they have standardized templates ready for you to customize.

Third, make sure they have a secure payment section on their website – you can do this simply by looking on the payment page and taking a peek at the section where the website address is displayed – you should see this, https://websitename.com – notice that little s in there?  That is your security that the website is secure and protected so no-one else can get hold of your credit card or banking information.

Fourth, check online by doing a search on the company you are thinking of placing the order with – there are plenty of consumer forums and review sites out there and if you see positive reviews, you know you are dealing with a reputable company that means business.

Finally, ensure the order will not take weeks to produce – many companies operating overseas do this and it is impossible to speed them up once they have your money – make sure you read the small print and make sure they are based in the country and not overseas.
