When a customer sees a product with this sticker, their natural inclination is to pick it up. These stickers are usually designed to scream attention, with a gold or silver foil finish.
  • Save on cost – Stickers are inexpensive. You can print a lot of custom stickers to use on numerous products, especially if your product packaging is minimalist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What sticker material should I use for packaging?

The ideal sticker material depends on where it will be used. For indoor use where the products won’t be exposed to moisture, we recommend white paper sticker or white premium paper sticker. If the product packaging will be exposed to water, refrigerated, or used outdoors, the best material to use would be white vinyl sticker or BOPP.

Can I save by ordering custom stickers in bulk?

Yes, you can. The more you buy, the bigger you can save.

What sticker finish should I choose for my packaging?

A matte finish is suitable for muted, natural tones. A gloss finish is a better alternative if you want colors to pop and be noticeable. High-gloss gives the stickers a shiny layer that offers UV-protection. Matte and gloss surfaces are writable with a ballpoint pen or a permanent ink marker. We do not recommend writing on high-gloss surfaces.
