What we genuinely like about them.
Calm Strips helped introduce a lot of people to the idea that a sticker can be a calming tool, and that awareness helps everyone who makes sensory products, including us. We just come at it from a different angle: we're a print shop, not a product line. Your brand, your colors, your artwork, our texture.
rising tide, all boats :)
Questions people ask when comparing.
What is the best Calm Strips alternative for schools and organizations?
If you need custom branding, low minimums, and fast turnaround, Textured Stickers is built for exactly that: minimum 50 stickers, free mock-ups in 24-48 hours with unlimited revisions, and orders ship from Utah in 1-3 business days. We've printed for 3,000+ organizations including universities, hospitals, and school districts since 2021.
Are textured sensory stickers and Calm Strips the same thing?
Calm Strips is a brand; textured sensory stickers are the product category. Think of texture like holographic or glitter, it's a finish. Our version is a raised-dot texture printed as part of the sticker itself, and we've been printing it in bulk for organizations since 2021.
What's the minimum order for custom textured stickers?
Just 50 stickers at Textured Stickers, small enough for a single classroom, counselor's office, or team. 3-inch stickers start around $1.30 each at 50, and volume pricing drops as low as $0.77 each.
Do you really send mock-ups before we pay anything?
Yes. Send your logo and colors and we'll email about 3 versions within 24-48 hours, free, with unlimited revisions. You only pay when you love it, and nothing prints without your approval of a digital proof.

The easiest way to compare is to see your own brand on our stickers. Free mock-ups in 24-48 hours, no payment, no commitment, and if we're not the right fit, you'll know in two days instead of two weeks.
