Custom labels and stickers are the most flexible branding tool in packaging. They go on boxes, bottles, jars, bags, envelopes, and any surface that needs your logo, product info, or a decorative touch. Custom labels from Teal Packaging start at $0.08/sticker for orders of 500+.
Label and Sticker Types
- Product labels: Applied to bottles, jars, tins, and tubes. Contain product name, ingredients, barcodes, and regulatory info. Available on paper, vinyl, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene), or clear film.
- Packaging stickers: Seal stickers for boxes and bags. Round, square, or custom die-cut shapes. Often used as a brand seal on tissue paper or box closures.
- Sheet stickers: Multiple stickers on a single sheet. Popular for promotional giveaways, planners, and brand merchandise.
- Roll labels: Continuous rolls for machine application. Used by businesses applying labels at volume (100+ units per day). Standard roll cores: 1", 2", 3".
- Die-cut stickers: Cut to the exact outline of your design. No visible border. Used for laptops, water bottles, and brand swag.
- Clear labels: Transparent backing that disappears on the product surface. Creates a "no-label look" where the design appears printed directly on the container.
Materials
- Matte paper: The most economical option. Good for indoor products. Not water-resistant.
- Glossy paper: Shiny, bold colors. Indoor use. Slightly more scuff-resistant than matte.
- BOPP (white or clear): Waterproof, oil-resistant, tear-resistant. The standard for food, beverage, cosmetics, and bathroom products. Can go through dishwashers.
- Vinyl: The toughest option. UV-resistant, waterproof, suitable for outdoor use. Lasts 3-5 years exposed to weather. Used for bumper stickers, outdoor equipment labels, and industrial applications.
- Kraft paper: Natural brown with visible fiber texture. Popular for handmade, organic, and artisanal products.
