Find the Best Format for Your Custom Stickers

Keep Your Sticker Good as New with Sturdy Materials and Protective Finishes

Depending on your chosen format, several durable materials are available to protect your design from water, outdoor or indoor elements, and other external factors.

• White paper sticker is typically used for labels or decorations that stay indoors—offered for all four sticker formats.
• White vinyl paper is waterproof and protects the sticker design from fading thanks to its UV coating. Offered for singles, sheets, or kiss-cut stickers.
• BOPP’s water resistance makes it the go-to for refrigerated bottles or containers. Available only for the roll format.
• The textured estate is generally seen on wine bottles; it maintains the sticker design’s look for a few hours submerged in ice water or refrigerated.

Give your sticker additional protection and elevate its look with matte, gloss, or high gloss UV laminate. These are available under specific materials after selecting your preferred one on the online calculator:

• The matte coating has a smooth, subdued finish for neutral colors.
• Gloss gives bright or bold colors an extra pop.
• High gloss offers the most brilliant shine and stands out from afar.

Custom Stickers FAQs

What if my design does not pass the printing guidelines and requirements?

If your design does not meet the printing requirements, our team will communicate the concern and discuss how we can remedy the file.
Note that any additional changes will cause a delay in the turnaround time. To ensure that your file meets all printing guidelines, download a template and create your design on that file. Review the file for the following before submitting or uploading it on the site:

• The color tone is in CMYK
• Resolution is at least 300 dpi
• The printed design follows the bleed, trim, and caution lines

Which sticker material is waterproof?

White vinyl sticker is the most durable and only waterproof material.

What format should I submit the file in?

We accept files in the following formats: PDF, EPS, PUB, PSD, JPG, JPEG, or TIF.

What is the smallest size available for custom stickers?

The smallest size depends on the format you select:

• Singles: 1.5” x 2.5”
• Roll: 0.5” x 1”
• Sheet: 4” x 6”
• Kiss-Cut: 2”x 2”

Which sticker material can I write on?

Uncoated white paper stickers have a writable surface. This material is popular for stickers used on delivered packages or envelopes.

Will the sticker leave damage on the surface it’s applied on?

Since all materials are permanent adhesives, they will leave a residue or mark once removed.

If I need a large order, should I order roll or sticker singles?

We recommend the roll stickers for large quantity orders. Roll stickers are easier to apply quickly whether done manually or using a label dispenser. Sticker singles are more suitable for small orders starting at 25 pieces, letting you hand them out easily or insert them in your packages.

How much does a custom sticker cost?

The cost will depend on the quantity, size, shape, material, and finish of your sticker. After inputting your specs, the online calculator will load the total price and unit cost for each piece. Note that the price increases with a faster production time and other advanced options such as rounded corners or a custom trim.

What is the difference between the BOPP materials and white sticker paper?

BOPP materials (clear, white, and metallic plastics) are used on items such as beer, water, and wine bottles. These work best for indoor use on items that require refrigeration, making them water- and oil-resistant. None of them can be written on with a standard marker or pen.

White sticker paper is used for indoor products that won’t be exposed to water or other outdoor elements. This material is also not writable.

Both paper and BOPP materials come with either gloss or matte laminate.

How many stickers are printed in one roll?

The number of stickers per roll depends on your chosen size and shape. The average measurement per roll is at 3” in diameter. You may contact our printing experts if you need a specific number of stickers per roll.

What does the unwind direction for a custom roll sticker indicate?

The unwind direction determines where your artwork will be printed on each roll sticker. It also shows the direction from which the stickers will unwind from the core. The direction is indicated according to the copy on your custom sticker printing design:

• Top of copy
• Bottom of copy
• Right of copy
• Left of copy
