Custom Sticker
A sticker is the cheapest way to turn plain packaging into branded packaging. It seals a bag or a wrap without tape, it carries size or batch information, and it is the one component that can be changed for a campaign without reordering anything else.

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared With Printed tape
Tape seals a carton along a long seam. A sticker is a spot seal and carries finer detail.
Compared With Printed packaging
Printing the pack itself looks better but costs more and cannot be changed quickly. Stickers can.
How To Order This Well
- Tell us the surface the sticker goes onto, it decides the adhesive
- Say whether it must peel off cleanly or stay permanently
- Confirm roll or sheet supply against how you apply them
- Test the sample on your actual packaging, not on paper
