The benefits of hexagon stickers

Posted by Sticker Mule on

Custom stickers come in every shape, including, of course, hexagon stickers. Let’s take a look at why hexagon stickers have become so popular in recent years, especially among dev tools.

What is a hexagon?

A hexagon is a polygon with 6 equal sides and 6 equal angles. And while they can come in any size, the shape is always the same.

Hexagon tiling

One unique feature of hexagons is how they can be laid out perfectly next to each other.

In fact, hexagons, triangles, and squares are the only regular polygons that can tessellate. And among those three, a hexagon has the most sides. This is why hexagonal tiles are used frequently in games, such as Catan.

Hexagon aesthetic

The interesting shape of a hexagon can make any design immediately more interesting.

The quality of logos, especially among dev tools, range from amazing to wtf. By placing a design (good or bad) on a hexagonal plane, it gives your stickers a fresh look. And if you’re getting multiple stickers, it instantly ties them together in an aesthetically pleasing way.
