Get Sticky!

What’s the mystery behind stickers? Well, they’re pretty basic. They’re stickers. But there are a wide variety of sticker types that all have their purpose and using the right ones are really important.

Key questions:

What are they for, how will they be used?

Rolls or individual stickers or labels?

How many might you need?

Investment or value—are they important or is cheap ok?

On one end—a simply-shaped sticker plopped right down on a piece of paper. On the other end, a huge window label in a department store (actually a window cling). There are for example permanent stickers (also called labels) that are more durable and won’t peel off easily. There are removable labels that easily come off (although depends on the material they are on). There are roll labels that come in certain quantities (starting usually at around 250 labels), and there are individual peel and stick labels.

So it really comes down to usage—how you will use these, and what they are for. On products, will they be outdoor or exposed to water? Are they food products that might be frozen? Will they be on a tool that you want clear edges on so there are no white colors detracting from the look and feel? There are labels so large you can literally wrap an entire vehicle with them. 

Pricing: Stickers and label costs will all vary depending on the usage, type, quantity, and size. They might be as little as $20 for a handful on many online sites if quality is unimportant, and $250-$1000 plus for larger, more of, and better quality labels.

Clear, white, and zero backgrounds

Depending on your label or sticker, you may or may not want or require a background. For example, if it’s a letter character logo, you need something to hold the letters together so they all stick down together. So that may be on a white, colored, or clear background—such as like Scotch Tape material. Logos or graphics that ARE one solid shape, require no background, so can be “die cut” to that shape.

Imagine the clear background (top) holding the lettering together. Otherwise, blown apart, nothing to hold them.

As opposed to a graphic with a solid edge and colored insides—you can now die-cut this as this unique shape.

Sticker vs. Label

Stickers are usually digitally printed. Printed on machinery quickly and affordably. Resilient in most cases, but not always and good for simplicity. LABELS are often high end machinery-printed, and more resilient, and good with wet, cold, hot conditions.

Rolls of labels can be set up for your label machines or convenience in pulling and placing…
