ME-Q, a custom merchandise creation service operated by MAW, has officially launched a bulk ordering service for custom stickers.
In recent years, the demand for custom stickers has risen rapidly, driven by the expansion of the 'oshi-katsu' (fan culture) and creator merchandise markets. According to research by the Oshi-katsu Research Institute, the fan culture population is approximately 19.4 million, with a market size of about 4.1 trillion yen. The Nomura Research Institute also estimates the market at approximately 3.8 trillion yen, marking it as a critical sector for both businesses and creators.
Stickers have become a popular item alongside acrylic keychains and badges, due to their relatively low production cost, ease of distribution, and high collectability. Their accessible price point has led to increased adoption for event sales and corporate novelty applications.
In response to this demand, ME-Q has launched its bulk order service.
Key features include: - Orders starting from 50 pieces: Catering to event sales, retail promotions, and corporate novelties. - Die-cut support: Beyond standard circles or squares, production in custom shapes following character or logo contours is possible. - Four material options: Including standard white stickers and clear stickers that utilize backgrounds, allowing selection based on purpose and design.
ME-Q also offers other merchandise such as acrylic keychains and badges, enabling creators to build a comprehensive product lineup including stickers.
