Stickers & Labels FAQs

What Size or Shape Sticker Is Best for Me?

It depends on the job. Small circle, square and rectangle stickers suit logos only. Medium sizes work for sale stickers and event handouts. Large sizes make good laptop stickers, and extra large rectangles are ideal for bottle and address labels. For anything else, choose a custom shape up to 280mm.

Should I Choose Stickers on a Sheet or on a Roll?

Choose sheets for handouts, unboxing and small runs you peel by hand. Choose rolls when you are applying lots of labels to products, packaging or envelopes, because labels peel off a roll faster and stay in order.

What Is the Difference Between Kiss Cut and Die Cut Stickers?

Kiss cut stickers are cut through the sticker but not the backing, so several stay together on one sheet or roll. Individual die cut stickers are cut right through the backing, so each one is a separate sticker, ideal for handing out at events.

What Is the Difference Between a Window Cling and a Window Sticker?

A window cling uses a light, repositionable adhesive and peels off without marks, so it suits seasonal displays. A window sticker is permanent and can be applied facing in or out, so it suits opening hours and long-term branding.

Which Stickers Are Waterproof?

instantprint weatherproof stickers are made for water and damp exposure. The 55/40gsm white gloss polypropylene stock is tear and moisture resistant and works from −20°C to 80°C. It is the one to choose for bottles, fridges and bathrooms.

Can I Get Clear Stickers?

Yes. instantprint transparent stickers are printed on 52gsm transparent polypropylene, a smooth glossy plastic that gives a no-label look on glass, jars and bottles. They are moisture resistant, so they suit bottles and jars too.

Are Your Stickers Food Safe?

instantprint Food & Hospitality labels are food safe certified, so they can be used for catering and food packaging. Order them on sheets or rolls, in any shape up to 280mm.

What Material Should I Choose for My Stickers?

Choose 78gsm semi-gloss paper for address and logistics labels. Choose 70gsm uncoated smooth paper for stationery and seals. Choose 90gsm premium textured paper for boutique packaging. Choose white gloss polypropylene for product labels, transparent polypropylene for glass, and metallic polypropylene for luxury branding.

Can I Write on My Stickers?

The paper stocks can be written on, which makes them a good choice for address labels and stationery. Plastic polypropylene stocks are smooth and glossy, so ink may smudge.

Can I Add Foil or a Spot UV Effect to My Stickers?

Yes. instantprint's Dual Bar DigiJet finishing line adds premium digital embellishments including a Spot UV-style varnish, gold and silver foil, and tactile effects. These are added on the same finishing line as the cut.

Can My Stickers Be Laminated?

Yes. instantprint's integrated thermal laminator applies matt or gloss lamination as part of the same finishing process. It adds protection and changes the look and feel.

How Do I Make a Sticker?

Set your document to the size of your sticker and use CMYK colour. Add bleed and safety areas, and use high-resolution images such as your logo. Save your document as a PDF, then upload your design through our proofing tool.

How Do I Set Up Artwork for a Custom Shape Sticker?

Design to the size of your sticker up to 280mm, add bleed around the outline, and keep text and logos inside the safety area. We cut to the outline of your design using laser cutting, so intricate shapes are possible.

What File Format Should My Sticker Artwork Be?

A print-ready PDF in CMYK is best, with high-resolution images and fonts embedded. The instantprint proofing tool lets you upload and check your design before you order.

Do You Check My Artwork Before Printing?

Yes. Every instantprint order includes a free artwork check by our Studio team, so issues are flagged before anything goes to print. You can also check your proof online before you order.
