Does sticker printing come on sheets or rolls?

Our labels and stickers come on kiss cut sheets or as cut-out shapes.

We may also be able to produce your stickers on a roll. Please submit a custom quote request to learn more about roll labels.

Is there perforation between each sticker?

Cut-to-size stickers are cut into the exact shape of your design. They will not have any border or perforation. Kiss-cut stickers can include perforation to make separating stickers easy. Please let us know if you want perforation.

• 4/4: Full Color (CMYK) on both sides.

Our stickers come in many different shapes. We offer rectangle, square, rounded corner, and circle stickers. In addition to these choices, we also offer custom die-cut stickers that can be made in any shape you can imagine. With our die-cut stickers and labels, the possibilities are endless!

Can I write on my stickers?

Our uncoated and kraft sticker stocks are perfect for writing on. We do not recommend picking our glossy stock if you plan to write on your stickers.

Can you print on the back of stickers? On the liner?

Unfortunately, we can only print on the front facestock of our stickers and labels.

Can you print variable data?

Yes! We can use variable data to print addresses, product names, and any other information you need on each sticker or label.

Will my stickers adhere to everything?

Our stickers and labels will adhere to most smooth, clean, dry, hard surfaces. If your surface is very textured, dirty, or damp, our labels and stickers may have trouble sticking.

Can you add coating to the stickers?

We can add a soft touch satin finish coating to the glossy label stock. If you would like to use this coating, you must pick the glossy label stock.

Are there water-resistant options for sticker printing?

Our house stocks are made with all biodegradable materials, so they cannot be made waterproof. If you are interested in making stickers that will be waterproof, please submit a custom quote request to discuss options.

If I design my stickers as labels, are there special requirements for food and cosmetics?

Yes! Both food and cosmetics require specific labeling to meet government regulations. All ingredients must be listed for the safety of consumers. Please read the FDA’s Food Labeling Guide and Cosmetic Labeling Regulations for more information. Our facilities cannot produce food-safe labels that can be applied directly to food.

Can you print white ink on stickers?

Yes! We can print white ink on your labels. This is perfect for transparent or kraft materials. White ink ensures opaque, vibrant colors and can create striking designs on its own.

What is the difference between Kiss Cut and Die Cut?

Kiss cutting refers to a trimming technique where an uncut liner is left on a custom shaped sticker. Die cutting will cut off the liner and any material that is not a part of the sticker itself. A kiss cut is much lighter than a die cut, so only the sticker material is cut and the liner is left intact. Kiss cutting leaves extra material around the sticker which can make it easier to peel the sticker lining off.

Are your stickers recyclable?

Our 60# uncoated material is the most eco-friendly sticker material on the market! All parts of this sticker are recyclable, including the facestock, liner, and adhesive.

Our other sticker materials have recyclable facestocks, meaning that they can be recycled along with any recyclable product they are attached to. Unfortunately, the liners will need to be removed before recycling.

What is the smallest sticker you can produce?

You can order stickers as small as 1” x 1” through our product page ordering form. If you need a smaller size, please submit a custom quote request to discuss options.

Will I get a proof of my stickers before production begins?

Yes! We will send you up to two free digital (soft) proofs before production begins. Extra soft proofs and physical hard proofs can be ordered for an extra cost. For more information about proofs, please review our Proofing Options page.

Can I design my stickers with a border?

Yes! Our cutting machines are very precise and can accommodate designs with borders. Please make sure to include the border in your sticker design. We cannot add one to your already complete design.

Can you print foil on stickers?

Yes! We can add embossed or debossed foil designs onto your stickers. We can also print with metallic inks, which is a great 2D alternative to our foil-pressing option.

Are your stickers laptop and smartphone safe?

Our stickers can be placed on laptops and smartphones, but please be aware that they can be challenging to remove. Our stickers are meant to be permanent.
