Custom Stickers
A sticker is the only ad people ask for, keep, and display for years. Custom stickers on real waterproof vinyl — not paper — live on water bottles, laptops, and bumpers without fading or peeling.
One sticker or a thousand: same press, same vinyl, same free proof. At 100+ pieces the per-piece price hits its floor — where sticker marketing gets almost unfairly cheap.

Material guidance
Gloss vinyl is the classic sticker look. Matte kills glare and reads premium. Clear vinyl disappears on glass and bottles. All three are waterproof with outdoor-rated adhesive.
Artwork requirements
PDF, EPS, AI, PNG, or JPG up to 50 MB. Vector files print sharpest at large sizes; raster files should be 150 DPI at final print size. Full specs on the artwork guidelines page. Not sure your file works? Upload it anyway — we check every file before proofing, and design help is $45.00 flat if it needs cleanup.

Popular picks
Real vinyl stickers, not paper promises
Everything on this page prints on vinyl stock with outdoor-rated adhesive and UV-stable ink — waterproof, scratch-resistant, and unbothered by water bottles, coolers, or dishwashers. Paper stickers are cheaper for a reason; they die at the first splash. If it is worth putting your brand on, it is worth the sticker surviving.
Bulk pricing that actually gets cheap
Sticker economics are a volume game and the calculator plays it openly: 10% off at 5 pieces, 20% at 10, 40% at 50, and half price at 100+. A 3″ × 3″ gloss sticker lands well under a dollar each at the 100-piece tier. Order one design per checkout so each gets its own proof — or send 3+ designs through the quote form and we gang them into one run for a better combined rate.
Picking the right sticker finish
Gloss is the default: maximum color pop, the classic sticker shine. Matte photographs without glare, reads premium on kraft packaging, and takes handwriting from a permanent marker — useful for batch numbers and dates. Clear disappears on glass and bottles. All three share the same vinyl durability; the choice is aesthetic, and if you are torn, order the same design in two finishes and let the reorder decide.
Stickers as a marketing channel
A sticker is the only ad people voluntarily display for years. The playbook: make it about the customer's identity, not your logo alone — a clever line or mascot outperforms a bare wordmark on placement rates. Hand them out at every sale, drop two in every shipment, and reorder before you run out. At the 100+ tier the cost per impression makes every other channel look expensive.

Custom Stickers — common questions
Are these waterproof?
Yes — vinyl stock with solvent-resistant print. Water bottles, coolers, and outdoor gear are fine; they routinely survive dishwashers, though we still call that "tolerant" rather than "rated."
What shape will my stickers be?
Whatever you want: the width × height you enter defines the bounding size, and we cut rectangle, rounded-corner, circle/oval, or contour to your artwork. Note the cut style in your order; contour shapes are the die-cut/kiss-cut products.
How cheap do stickers get in bulk?
The tier discounts stack up fast: 20% off at 10 pieces, 40% at 50, 50% at 100+. A 3″ × 3″ gloss sticker at 100 pieces works out to well under a dollar each — the calculator shows exact numbers live.
Can I order multiple designs in one run?
Each design is its own order in the calculator so each gets its own proof. For 3+ designs in one batch, use the quote form — ganging designs together usually earns a better combined rate.
What is the smallest sticker you print?
Practically, 1″ on the short side — smaller than that gets hard to peel and read. For tiny labels (batch codes, seals), request a quote and we run them on sheets instead.
Will these stickers survive a dishwasher?
The vinyl and inks tolerate dishwashers on bottles and tumblers. Top rack and mild detergent extend life. We say "tolerant" rather than "rated" — daily industrial wash cycles are a quote conversation.
