    Yes and no - its just vinyl. To do a custom design, there are a number of companies that will print your images but it can be pricey. As for just sticking in a sheet of vinyl and using your home printer, that wont work

    Edit: I didnt realize schtickers has custom images. If you want a custom image then just upload your own there

    Search for inkjet printable vinyl, the low tack stuff is basically the same thing they use, similar to bumper sticker type vinyl but much much less sticky. Unfortunately finding it larger than 8.5 x 11 is the tricky part. Most local stationary companies can probably special order the stuff for you too.
