01 Akinda Sticker Album
The sticker album of your sports club, with no financial risk
With sale or return (from 100 participants), your club never takes a financial risk: Akinda makes and ships the albums and packets, your club sells them, keeps its share of the takings and passes our share back to us. Unsold stock comes back at no cost. Every packet sold is guaranteed profit for your club.

05 How it works
How we earn, how your club earns
Two formulas, and we choose together based on your club. With sale or return you earn a little less but risk nothing; with prepaid you earn more, but what you don’t sell stays with you.
Count everyone who will have a sticker: athletes, staff, parents, volunteers.
The cycle: Akinda ships albums and packets to the club. Families buy the packets and pay the club, whose takings grow as the pile of packets shrinks. When the packets are gone, the club keeps its share of the takings and passes Akinda’s share back. Akinda ships again and the cycle starts over.
We ship albums and packets to your club, at our expense.
- 1
We invest
Design, printing and shipping of albums and packets are all on us.
- 2
You sell to families
At the clubhouse, the club bar, at matches, at the retail price agreed at the start.
- 3
We split the takings
From the packet takings you keep your share and pass ours back to us. Unsold stock comes back to us at no cost.
- 1
You order and pay first
You choose the quantities and pay for them in advance, at a lower price.
- 2
We ship albums and packets
We handle design, printing and delivery, just like with sale or return.
- 3
You sell and keep the takings
At the price you set: the takings stay with your club. Unsold stock cannot be returned.
Sale or return
For clubs from 100 participants
You never take a financial risk: guaranteed earnings.
- First you sell, then you keep your share of the takings and pass ours back to us.
- You return every unsold copy to us free of charge, with no leftover stock on your hands.
- The result: no financial risk and guaranteed earnings on what you sell.
- The only limit: we decide the quantities, because we are the ones taking the risk.
Prepaid
For clubs that want to earn as much as possible
You decide the quantities and maximise your margin.
- You decide exactly how much to order, entirely on your own terms.
- The more you order, the lower the price per packet.
- You pay less for the products and sell them at the price you set: the difference is all profit for your club.
- Ideal for a strong start with stock ready to go or a pre-sale.
We only earn on the packets that are sold. And we split the takings with your club.
From the takings of every packet sold, part stays with your club and part goes to Akinda. That’s why we give the album free to children under 13: the more children collect, the more packets are sold, for your club and for us.
You pay first, at a lower price. The takings stay with your club.
With prepaid, we earn on selling the products to your club; you set the price for families. Unsold stock stays with your club, so it pays to order the right quantities.
06 Included in the project
What your club receives
Albums, packets and everything else reach your club ready to use. Here’s what’s in the box.
- Free albums for children under 13Not for sale: they are a gift for the club’s children.
- Albums for sale, for everyone elseSold to families, together with the packets.
- Display boxes of 50 packetsEach packet contains 5 stickers. The display boxes are ready to put on sale.
- Sponsor pages, already in the albumsIncluded at no cost. You offer them to local sponsors: the income stays with your club.
- Official 12×18 cm photos of every participantIncluded in the project: to give away or sell to families.
Sponsor pages and photos: all the income goes to your club.
We handle design, printing and delivery. Families buy the packets, and the album if they don’t get one free. With sale or return, the retail price is agreed at the start; with prepaid, your club sets it.
Free albums for children under 13 are for clubs with 100 participants or more. Your consultant confirms exactly who they cover in your club.
07 The process
How much work it really takes
Design, printing and delivery are on us. Your club has just a few steps, and we guide you through each one.
- 1
First contact
We call you, check the numbers and the formula, and answer the board’s questions.
- 2
Sign-up
You fill in the online form. Your consultant can guide you over the phone.
- 3
List of participants
An Excel file with each person’s first name, last name and team.
- 4
The photos
Each coach opens a link on their phone, picks the name and takes the photo: no app, no photographer. From 150 participants there’s also the Photobox, a portable studio that we ship and collect. We give you ready-made forms for parental consent.
- 5
Design and proofs
We design the album and send you two PDF proofs to check.
- 6
Printing and delivery
If the list, photos and proofs arrive on time, you receive everything usually in less than a month.
- 7
Sales and reorders
Sell wherever suits you. With sale or return, reorders ship as soon as you pass our share of the takings back to us.
- 8
End of the collection
We collect the unsold stock. Missing stickers can be bought online.
We handle design, printing and delivery. Your club needs one person to look after the project for a few weeks: they send the list of names, organise the photos (the coaches can do it, team by team, with their phones) and check the proofs. If your club has this person, the rest is simple.
No one available? A tip: some clubs choose to give all or part of their earnings from the project to the person who looks after it. That gives them one more reason to take it on, and the club still gets its album. It’s a choice you arrange yourselves, within the club.
Want it for Christmas? Here’s when to start
If the list, photos and proofs arrive on time, you usually receive everything in less than a month from the photos. With photos taken by the end of October, the collection almost always starts before Christmas.
You can still start after that date: the collection lasts about three months and runs alongside the season.

1009 Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about the club sticker album
Ask your question over the phoneHow much does a custom sticker album for our club cost?
With sale or return, for clubs with 100 participants or more, your club never takes a financial risk: Akinda makes and ships the albums and packets, the club sells them, keeps its share of the takings and passes Akinda’s share back; unsold stock comes back at no cost. With prepaid, your club chooses the quantities and pays first, at a lower price: it’s the choice for clubs that want to earn as much as possible. With sale or return, the retail price for families is agreed at the start and your consultant explains it for your country; with prepaid, your club sets it.
How is the team sticker album made?
In four steps: your club sends the list of participants by team; takes the photos with a link on the phone (or with the Photobox); Akinda prepares the design and proofs for approval; then prints and delivers albums, packets and display boxes ready to sell.
How do you make money?
Only on the packets sold, and we split the takings with your club: from every packet sold, part stays with your club and part comes to us. That’s why we give the album free to children under 13: it creates collectors.
Does the form on this page commit me to anything?
No. It’s a request for information: we call you and explain everything. The actual sign-up is a separate form, which you only fill in if you decide to go ahead.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. With sale or return you keep your share of the takings, pass ours back to us and return unsold stock free of charge. You only pay separately for extras you choose, such as additional sponsor pages or extra Photobox days beyond those included.
And if we don’t sell?
With sale or return there is no minimum: you pass our share back only on what you have sold, and unsold packets come back at no cost.
How much does the club earn?
With sale or return, the retail price for families is agreed at the start and your consultant explains it for your country; with prepaid, your club sets it. On every packet sold, part stays with your club. On top of that there are the sponsor pages and the official photos. We work out the figures for your club over the phone, based on your numbers.
We’re fewer than 100: can we do it?
First count everyone who will have a sticker: athletes, staff, parents, volunteers. The album is designed for clubs with 100 participants or more: below that, the numbers are usually not enough to keep the collection going. If your club is close to 100, write to us and we’ll look at it together.
Do we have to take the photos? And what about children’s privacy?
Yes, but it’s simple: each coach opens a link on their phone, picks the name and takes the photo. We replace the background. From 150 participants there’s also the Photobox. Your club collects parental consent using the ready-made forms we provide.
We have no one to look after the project: what can we do?
You need one person to send the list, organise the photos and check the proofs for a few weeks. If there isn’t anyone, here’s an idea we recommend: give all or part of the club’s earnings to whoever takes it on. The club earns less, but the project happens. The arrangement is internal to the club.
Can we use nicknames or just initials?
Yes. On each sticker we print the name your club gives us: full name, nickname or just initials. Your club decides.
Can we sell the under-13 albums?
No, it’s a gift and is marked as a free album. The earnings come from the packets.
Are there rare stickers?
There are only two levels, the same for everyone. The normal stickers are all printed in equal numbers and each one has its own holographic version, which is rarer and makes swapping more fun. No teammate is rarer than another: every child can complete the album.
How does the contract work?
You sign up with an online form. It lasts 12 months and renews automatically, with no penalties: this makes it easy to move the project from one season to the next. If you don’t want it to renew, one email is enough, even on the day you sign. For the length of the contract, products with your club’s brand are made with Akinda (exclusivity). If you withdraw after signing, the contract only provides for reimbursement of the costs already incurred for your album. In practice, the album only goes ahead if you send the list, take the photos and approve the proofs: you’re in control at every step.
Is the whole album in colour?
Cover and stickers are always in colour. Depending on the size of the club, page backgrounds may be in greyscale: your consultant confirms what applies to your club.
How long does it take? Can we have it for Christmas?
If you send the list on time, take the photos quickly and reply to the proofs straight away, you usually receive everything in less than a month. If you take the photos by the end of October, the collection almost always starts before Christmas. We never give an exact delivery date: a lot depends on your club’s pace.
Can you send us a sample album?
No, there are no printed samples: the examples are online. On this page you can explore a real album and watch videos from clubs that have already done it.
Can new members be added after we start?
Yes, up to the proofs: anyone who joins later or misses photo day is added before printing, even with a photo taken on a phone. After printing, adding a sticker has a cost: that’s why it’s best to send us the most complete list you can.
We’re a multi-sport club: one album for several sections?
Yes. A single album can bring together all the club’s sections, each with its own pages.
Isn’t it too much for families?
Children under 13 get the album free and families only buy the packets. The collection lasts about three months: everyone buys when they want, as many packets as they want.
Is it only for football? Volleyball, basketball, rugby and other sports
No. We work with football, basketball, volleyball, rugby, handball, gymnastics, dance, martial arts and other sports.
What happens to missing stickers at the end of the collection?
They can be bought online. We keep the photos for about two years, so they can also be bought the following season.
