What Are Digital Stickers?

Digital stickers, also known as PNG stickers, are pre-made design elements that can be used in digital planning and journaling apps. Unlike regular stickers, digital stickers are repositionable and resizable. You can place them on any page in your digital notebook and move or resize them whenever you like.

A Fun Way to Decorate and Organize

Digital stickers make it easy to decorate and organize your digital notes. Whether you use them to mark holidays and special events, categorize tasks, or simply add colorful touches to your pages, digital stickers open up lots of creative possibilities. Some people collect stickers featuring their favorite animals, foods, hobbies, or TV shows and use them to represent different moods or activities.

Thousands of Options to Choose From

There are lots of different digital sticker packs available in our Nabi Designs online store. You can find everything from minimal and modern icon stickers to cute and animated stickers.

Once you purchase a sticker pack, you can download the PNG files and add the stickers directly into your digital notebook. They’ll appear just like regular stickers that you can place, resize, and reposition as needed. With digital stickers, you get all the fun of traditional stickers without the mess. Your pages will stay clean and uncluttered, but you can still unleash your creativity.

Benefits of Using Digital Stickers for Planning

Save Time

Using digital stickers will save you tons of time that you’d otherwise spend cutting, arranging and adhering physical stickers.

Digital stickers are extremely easy to use and manipulate.

Convenient and Portable

Since digital stickers are electronic files, you can access them anywhere on any device. No more lugging around heavy sticker books or boxes. Your collection of stickers is always at your fingertips on your laptop, tablet or phone. This makes planning and journaling on the go super convenient.

You can even design your own stickers from scratch using design software if you want completely unique stickers tailored to your needs.

Affordable and Environmentally-Friendly

Digital stickers are budget-friendly since you can often find free or low-cost options. Even if you do purchase sticker packs, they are usually very affordable. Digital stickers are also better for the environment since they don’t require paper, ink or other physical materials to produce and distribute them. No resources are used to manufacture and ship physical products.

Using digital stickers in your planning and journaling provides so many benefits. They save you time, are convenient to use anywhere, highly customizable, affordable and eco-friendly.

Tips for Organizing Your Digital Stickers

Create collections for different themes or uses

Group your stickers into collections based on how you like to use them. For example, you might have one collection for journaling, one for holiday planning, one for budgeting, and one for random cute stickers. That way when you sit down to work on a specific project, all the relevant stickers will be in one easy-to-find place.

Use folders and subfolders

If you have a lot of stickers, organize them into main folders like “Planning,” “Journaling,” “Seasonal,” and “Miscellaneous.” Then create subfolders within those to separate stickers by type. For example, in the “Planning” folder you might have subfolders for “Meal Planning,” “Vacation Planning,” “Budgeting,” etc. This makes it easy to browse just the stickers you need.

Add keywords and tags

If you like to be super organized, take the time to add keywords, tags and descriptions to your stickers and sticker folders. That way you can easily search for what you want. For example, add tags like “food,” “exercise,” “bill due,” “birthday,” “Christmas,” etc. When you’re ready to use the stickers, you can just search for the appropriate tag.

Archive unused stickers

Go through your stickers from time to time and “archive” in a separate folder any that you do not use. Having too many unused stickers can make it hard to find the ones you actually want. You can always restore stickers to their original folders if you end up needing them again in the future. Keeping your collection curated will make the stickers you do have much more useful.

Try sticker packs for easy sorting

Our Nabi Designs digital sticker shop offers themed sticker packs with multiple related stickers in one set. These packs are already organized around a central theme or purpose, so they are very convenient. All you have to do is download the pack and you’ll have a ready-made collection of useful stickers. Look for packs aimed at planning, journaling, holidays or hobbies that interest you.

With some time invested in organization, your digital stickers can become a valuable tool for adding color, fun and visual interest to all your planning and journaling projects. Take it slow and start with one area to organize, then move on to the next. Before you know it, you’ll have a slick system for keeping your stickers tidy and ready to use.
