Custom Stickers & Labels
Six materials, one press. The difference between them is not quality — it is where the print has to survive and how it comes off again. This page is the short version of that choice; every row opens the calculator with a live price.

What each one is
Die-cut vinyl stickers
Printed on white vinyl and cut to the outline of your artwork. A laminate layer over the print takes the scratches, blocks UV and keeps water off the ink.
Holds up outdoors for up to five years and goes through a dishwasher without lifting. Matte and glossy use the same vinyl and the same laminate, so durability is identical — the choice is only how it looks.
Clear vinyl stickers
Printed on transparent film, so everything you did not print stays see-through and the design sits on the surface instead of on a white patch.
Light ink over a dark surface will read faintly — that is the trade for transparency, and the proof shows it before anything is printed.
Holographic stickers
A prismatic film under the print throws a rainbow shift as the sticker moves. The color comes from the material, not from ink.
The shift shows through the lighter parts of a design, so artwork with open space reads best. Solid dark coverage hides it.
Window clings & static cling stickers
Clings to glass by static alone. No adhesive means it can be peeled off, repositioned and put back up without residue.
If it goes on the inside of a window to be read from the street, we mirror the print — confirmed in your proof, not guessed.
Roll labels
The same print, delivered on a roll instead of a sheet — made for peeling one after another down a production line or a kitchen table.
Water-resistant, not waterproof: splashes, condensation and refrigeration are fine, submersion and outdoor weather are not. For those, use vinyl stickers.
Posters
Large-format prints for display. Semi-gloss rather than full gloss on purpose: fully glossy stock can fuse to glass as humidity changes and tear when you take it down.
Made for indoor use — a poster is paper, not vinyl, and will not survive weather.
The close calls
Clear vinyl or white vinyl?
White vinyl gives every color a clean base, so the design looks the same on a dark laptop lid and a pale jar. Clear vinyl has no base: whatever you did not print stays see-through, which looks better on glass but makes light ink over a dark surface read faintly. Glass and bottles — clear. Anything else, or artwork with pale colors — white.
Matte or glossy?
Both use the same vinyl and the same laminate, so they last exactly as long. Glossy deepens color and photographs bright; matte reads softer and does not throw glare under shop lights or a camera flash. It is a look, not a quality.
Stickers or roll labels?
The print is the same; the delivery and the material are not. Stickers arrive cut and loose, on waterproof vinyl built for outdoor life. Labels arrive on a roll for peeling one after another, and they are water-resistant rather than waterproof — right for jars, candles and refrigerated goods, wrong for a bumper or a bottle that lives outdoors.
Static cling or a sticker on the window?
A cling holds by static, so it comes off clean and goes back up — the right answer for hours, offers and anything seasonal. A sticker holds with adhesive and is meant to stay. If the glass will change again this year, use a cling.
Holographic or clear?
Opposite jobs. Holographic carries a rainbow shift that comes from the film under the print, so it is built to be noticed — merch, seals, anything on a table of other stickers. Clear is built to disappear into glass. Both are waterproof and both go through a dishwasher, so neither choice costs you durability.

Questions people ask before choosing
Which sticker material should I choose?
Start from where it has to live. Anything going outdoors, onto a bottle or through a dishwasher wants die-cut vinyl. Glass you want to see through wants clear vinyl. Glass you will change again wants a static cling. Jars, candles and refrigerated goods want roll labels. Walls want posters.
What is the difference between clear and white vinyl stickers?
White vinyl prints on an opaque base, so the colors look the same on any surface. Clear vinyl leaves everything you did not print see-through, which suits glass - but light ink over a dark surface will read faintly.
Are matte and glossy stickers equally durable?
Yes. Both use the same vinyl and the same laminate, so they last exactly as long. Glossy deepens color and photographs bright; matte reads softer and does not throw glare under shop lights.
Are roll labels waterproof?
Roll labels are water-resistant: splashes, condensation and refrigeration will not damage the print. For submersion or outdoor weather, use die-cut vinyl stickers instead.
How long does an order take?
Every order starts with a free digital proof. Once you approve it, die-cut vinyl stickers ship the next business day. Clear, holographic, posters, static cling and roll labels take 2 business days. Shipping is free on every order.
