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.

Pricing

  • Paper stickers (2x2" round, 500 qty): $0.08 to $0.15/sticker
  • BOPP labels (3x2" rectangle, 500 qty): $0.12 to $0.22/label
  • Die-cut stickers (3x3" custom shape, 500 qty): $0.15 to $0.28/sticker
  • Vinyl die-cut (4x4", 500 qty): $0.25 to $0.45/sticker
  • Roll labels (1,000+ qty): $0.06 to $0.18/label depending on size and material

Prices drop significantly at 1,000+ and 5,000+ quantities. Sheet stickers (multiple per sheet) are priced per sheet, typically $0.30 to $0.80 per sheet.

Finishes and Add-Ons

  • Matte lamination: Soft, non-reflective surface. Fingerprint-resistant.
  • Gloss lamination: Shiny, bold. Makes colors pop.
  • Spot UV: Glossy raised areas on specific design elements (logo, text).
  • Foil stamping: Gold, silver, rose gold metallic areas. Adds premium feel for $0.02 to $0.05 extra per unit.
  • Embossing: Raised texture on specific elements. Tactile premium effect.

Label Material Selection Guide

Choose the right material for your application:

Indoor, dry conditions: Matte or glossy paper works fine. Lowest cost.

Indoor, occasional moisture: Glossy paper with UV coating. Resists fading from light moisture exposure.

Frequent moisture (bath products, beverages): BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene). Waterproof, oil-resistant, dishwasher-safe.

Outdoor or harsh conditions: Vinyl. UV-resistant, survives 3-5 years in weather.

Label Adhesive Types

  • Permanent adhesive: Bonds aggressively. Difficult to remove. Standard for most applications.
  • Removable adhesive: Peels off cleanly. Used for promotional labels, window stickers.
  • Freezer-grade adhesive: Bonds at low temperatures. For frozen food labels.
  • High-tack adhesive: Bonds to rough, textured, or difficult surfaces.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Labels and Stickers: Branded Packaging Labels

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom labels and stickers: branded packaging labels requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
