I had a mate who did this in uni but in the end said it wasn't worth it. I think he only had a vinyl cutter though and was ripping off BBS stickers. Are Mose of your stickers automotive, comical or is it more so professional ones i.e health and safety etc.
Some comical but most of my profit comes from nursery wall stickers. I make enough money from it so the wife can take a small wage and not have to work, meaning she can look after our 3 young children and we don't have to worry about nursery fees. My partner makes and sells ceramic items on Etsy. The items made are artistic and has taken a lot of skill to develop. Also helps that the equipment costs to make are several thousands so helps limit how many people can be in the market.
Have plenty of ideas for other products and scalability but it's finding the time at the moment with us both working full time still but it's slowly ticking along and gathering momentum.
