Prints and Stickers Artist Alley Table Setup

Updated on: 2026-07-07

In this guide

Selling prints and stickers at Artist Alley looks simple: place the art on the table and wait. In practice, a flat table becomes hard to read fast. Visitors need to understand formats, prices, series and bundles without digging through a fragile pile.

A good prints and stickers setup should do three jobs: show a few strong visuals from a distance, let visitors browse without destroying the layout, and protect stock from bent corners, moisture, rushed hands and transport damage.

Quick answer

For a prints and stickers Artist Alley table, use a clean table, one or two vertical visuals, browsing bins by format, stickers sorted by theme, visible prices, protective sleeves, under-table stock sorted the same way and a clear payment zone. Avoid showing your entire catalog if it makes the table confusing.

Before choosing displays

Start with the convention constraints and your real formats. A setup for A4 prints, mini prints, stickers and cards is different from a table with one format only.

What table size is provided?
Can you use a vertical grid, or only the tabletop?
What formats do you sell: 5×7, A5, A4, cards, single stickers, sticker sheets?
Should visitors browse alone or ask for each print?
How much stock can you transport without bending corners?
Will you offer bundles or prices by format?

Organize the table by format

Visitors understand a table faster when it is organized by format rather than only by illustration. Formats give a simple map: print, mini print, card, sticker, bundle.

Main prints

Place the strongest prints vertically or first in a browsing bin. Do not put every print in one flat pile, or visitors only see the top piece.

Mini prints and cards

These work well in bins or low displays. Keep prices simple and visible, especially if several formats are close in size.

Individual stickers

Sort them by theme, character, color or collection. Loose stickers can catch the eye, but they quickly become hard to restock if you have many designs.

Bundles

If you offer bundles, explain the rule in one line. The customer should understand without complicated math: single price, bundle price, included formats.

Protect corners and paper

Prints often get damaged before they sell: bent corners during transport, moisture, rough handling, piles sliding around. Separate browsing samples from clean sellable stock.

Keep clean copies in a separate crate or sleeve.
Do not let visitors bend prints while browsing.
Avoid bins so deep that people pull on corners.
Protect stock from water, drinks and condensation.
Keep a few sleeves or rigid supports for fragile sales.

Make prices readable

Prices should be visible by format, not hidden under every visual. If a visitor has to ask the price of a sticker, card and print, they may leave before buying.

Prices by format: sticker, mini print, A5, A4, bundle.
Prices placed in front of or above the matching bin.
One simple bundle rule without tiny conditions.
A clear payment corner with accepted payment methods.

Under-table stock

Under-table stock should follow the same structure as the tabletop. If A4 prints are sorted by series on the table, keep A4 restock sorted the same way. Otherwise, every sale takes longer.

For a first convention, do not try to bring all of your stock. Bring enough to avoid selling out too early, but keep a setup you can pack down cleanly.

Common mistakes

Putting all prints flat on the table.
Mixing stickers, cards and mini prints in one bin.
Showing too many series and hiding the best sellers.
Forgetting prices by format.
Transporting prints without corner protection.
Creating bundles that take too long to explain.
Not keeping a clear payment area.

Visitors can browse bins without bending corners.
Clean sellable stock is separate from browsing samples.
Under-table restock follows the same sorting as the table.
Prints are protected during transport.
The payment area stays clear.

FAQ

Should prints be flat or vertical?

Both can help. Put a few strong visuals upright to catch attention, then use browsing bins for the rest. A fully flat table is often harder to read.

How should I display stickers in Artist Alley?

Sort them by theme or collection, with visible pricing and an easy restock system. Avoid total loose piles if you have many designs.

Should prints be sold in sleeves?

It is not mandatory, but sleeves help protect corners, moisture and customer transport. You can also keep browsing samples visible and clean sellable copies protected.

How many designs should I show?

Enough to show your world, not so many that the table is saturated. If everything is visible at the same level, nothing stands out. Feature the strongest series.

Are sticker bundles useful?

Yes if the rule is simple. A bundle should speed up the decision, not require a long explanation for every customer.
