I started Blum Decals in 2020, combining my passion for all things automotive with creating vinyl stickers and decals to help people put their own stamp on their cars. It began in my bedroom with a budget vinyl cutter, a few rolls of vinyl and orders coming through Instagram DMs. Through plenty of hard work, it’s since grown into a full in-house operation, producing vinyl decals and custom printed stickers from an 800 sq ft workspace with a small team here in the UK.
Today, we handle everything from design and production to packing and dispatch ourselves. From a single decal to a run of custom printed stickers, we’re hands-on at every stage. It means we can keep a close eye on the details and take pride in what leaves the door.
As Blum has grown, I’ve kept looking for ways to make the experience better. Our Sticker Studio is part of that: making it easier to turn your artwork into a sticker, see how it’ll look and make it your own, without getting tangled up in complicated options.
We’ve come a long way from the bedroom, but the personal approach hasn’t changed. I’m still involved in the day-to-day, working alongside the team to keep things moving and make sure we’re creating products we’re proud to put our name to.
More space, more possibilities. The same hard work and care behind every order.

About Us
A small vinyl cutter, a love of cars and plenty of late nights. Here’s how it all happened.
A small vinyl cutter, a love of cars and plenty of late nights. Here’s how it all happened.
Side Hustle Begins
With a love of cars, I bought my own vinyl plotter and launched Blum Decals from my bedroom. Small car window stickers, orders through Instagram DMs and no idea quite where it would lead.
Into the Garage
I converted half of my parents’ garage into a dedicated 53 sq ft workspace. It wasn’t huge, but it was mine, complete with my first professional cutter, a Roland GS2-24.
Taking a Chance on Blum
Orders were growing, the garage was full and juggling my full-time job was getting difficult. I signed a lease on my first commercial workspace: 430 sq ft and a big step into the unknown.
Things got a bit funny
I started developing our funny printed slap stickers with just a handful of designs. They quickly became popular, and I’ve been adding fresh designs ever since. Turns out, plenty of you share my sense of humour.
A bigger home, together
I signed a lease with our good friends Brio Media on a 1,300 sq ft unit in Burbage. More space, more ideas and a shared home for our businesses to keep growing.
