Custom stickers are a mainstay of business promotions and marketing. Create a design using your company logo or add a creative spin with any of the shapes or custom sizes available. Combining the right size and shape results in customized stickers your customers will want to place on their laptops, guitars, and other surfaces.
Do You Need a Cut-to-Size or Roll Custom Stickers?
Cut-to-size stickers are printed individually and normally applied by hand. You can stack them neatly and bundle them in sets. After selecting your total quantity on the online calculator, go to “Advanced Options” and indicate the quantity you want in each set.
You can choose from four standard shapes for this format: square, rectangle, circle, and oval. All sizes and materials can be printed in 1 business day.
Roll stickers come in the same standard shapes as cut-to-size. If your preferred size is not available, you can select “Custom” as your shape. A variety of widths and heights are available for you to get the exact dimensions you need for your design. This format takes at least 2 business days to print.
Make the Best Choice for Your Custom Sticker Printing
All
stickers are printed on durable material.
Vinyl paper is weather and scratch-resistant. Roll stickers can be printed on oil and water-resistant materials such as
white, metallic, and clear BOPP.
White BOPP provides a solid white background. Metallic has the same effect as foil at a cheaper price. Clear offers a transparent look for bottles and jars.
You can also highlight displayed store items with the indoor-friendly
white sticker paper. The matte coating has a smooth, subdued finish, while gloss gives colors an extra pop. You can also print custom stickers on the water-resistant, extra shiny
high-gloss UV coating.

Custom Sticker Q&A
Q: If I need a large order, should I order roll or cut-to-size stickers?
A: We recommend the roll stickers for large quantity orders. Roll stickers are easier to apply quickly whether done manually or using a label dispenser. Cut-to-size stickers are more suitable for small orders starting at 25 pieces, letting you hand them out easily or insert them in your packages.
Q: My sticker design has a centered image. Would that look better on a roll or cut-to-size sticker?
A: Since roll stickers are printed one at a time, it is easier to position a centered image more precisely on the background. We recommend opting for a roll sticker over cut-to-size for designs with a central image. Roll stickers are also much easier to peel.
Q: What does the turnaround time indicate?
A: Turnaround represents the number of days required to print your job. It does not include shipping time or direct mail processing time. All turnaround times are based on business days and exclude national holidays.
Read our detailed explanation of our turnaround options.
Q: What is the difference between matte, gloss, and high gloss?
A: The matte coating has a smooth surface and provides a sophisticated but subdued tone to your colors.
Gloss adds vibrancy to every color and makes images pop in a design.
High-gloss UV provides the ultimate glossiness and reflectivity. Out of all the coatings, this can withstand frequent handling.
Q: What is the difference between the BOPP materials and white sticker paper?
A: 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.
Q: How much does it cost to print custom stickers?
A: The cost of your custom stickers depends on the size, shape, material, and quantity. The larger your order quantity, the less you spend per piece. This applies to both formats. For example, 50 square white paper sticker cut-to-size costs 50¢ each. On the other hand, 1,000 of the same type only costs 5¢ per sticker.
Q: How many stickers are printed in one roll?
A: 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.
Q: What does the unwind direction for a custom roll sticker indicate?
A: 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
