Printing Custom Stickers at the ‘From Hamamatsu to Space – A Space Journey in a Space Jimny’ Event
Astronaut Stickers
Participants will have the chance to create astronaut-shaped stickers with a cutout face using their smartphones. To start, they will scan a QR code that redirects them to a webpage where they can choose from three sticker options: Astronaut Sticker, Space Rocket Sticker, and Face Cutout Sticker. Upon selecting the Astronaut Sticker option, the Sticker Builder tool will open with a pre-designed Astronaut Sticker template. Event participants can customize the template by adding a photo of their face or even a pet’s head. They can upload a picture directly from their smartphone or take a selfie to use in the design. Once the photo is selected, the tool will automatically create a face cutout and seamlessly integrate it into the template. Additionally, the created sticker can be further edited by applying filters to the photo and adding personalized text to enhance the design.
Space Rocket Stickers
Another type of sticker that will be created during the event is the Space Rocket Sticker—a custom rocket-shaped sticker with two image slots that participants can personalize with their own photos. To create this sticker, attendees will scan a QR code and select the Space Rocket Sticker option. They can then upload two photos or take selfies on-site. The selected images can feature human faces or even animal heads, adding a fun and creative touch to the design. Each photo can be enhanced with a photo filter, allowing for greater customization and visual appeal. Additionally, participants can further personalize their stickers with custom text, adjusting the font, color, and size to match their preferences.
Face Cutout Stickers
In addition to stickers with ready-made templates, event participants will have the opportunity to create Face Cutout Stickers in the shape of a face or head. To create this type of sticker, participants simply need to scan a QR code and select the third option: Face Cutout Sticker. In the next step, they can upload a photo or take a new one to use for the sticker. Once the photo is added, the Sticker Builder tool will automatically generate a sticker featuring the cutout face or head, complete with an outline. The created sticker can then be customized to match the participant’s preferences. Users can adjust the thickness and color of the outline, as well as add text to the design, selecting from a variety of fonts and colors to further personalize it.
After the design is approved, a print file will be generated with a cutline, and the stickers will be printed and cut using the Roland BN2 printer. Participants can then stick their creations on a Suzuki car or take them home as a keepsake.
