Stickers vs Labels
Stickers and custom printed labels are often used interchangeably, but they serve different purposes and have different characteristics. Here’s a guide on when to use stickers versus labels:
Purpose:
Stickers:
- Primarily used for decorative or promotional purposes.
- Commonly placed on personal items, such as laptops, water bottles, or phone cases.
- Utilized to showcase personal interests, brands, or messages.
Labels:
- Primarily used for informational purposes.
- Applied to products, packaging, or containers to provide essential information.
- Used for identification, instructions, warnings, or organizational purposes.
Pricing and Minimum Order QTY
Stickers:
- No minimum order quantities.
- Prices based on volume. Generally more expensive than labels, in particular for high quantities.
Labels:
- Labels require more setup so we have minimum order quantities.
- At high volumes, labels are the most cost effective. We offer volume savings per label up to 50,000 labels.
Design and Material:
Stickers:
- Our stickers are made from laminated vinyl which has a 5+ year outdoor life.
- May have colorful and intricate designs, including text, images, or logos.
- Typically have a strong adhesive to ensure long-lasting application.
Labels:
- We can make labels from paper, or BOPP, with or without lamination.
- May include simple text, barcodes, or logos, usually focused on providing clear and concise information.
- Adhesive strength can vary depending on the intended use and required durability.
Durability:
Stickers:
- Highly durable for outdoor or heavy-use applications.
- Lamination ensures they don’t fade from exposure to UV, or water.
Labels:
- Paper labels are meant for temporary and indoor use only. Lamination adds water resistance.
- BOPP can be used outdoors, or when additional durability is requred (water, oil, chemicals). Lamination adds further durability, typically up to 2 years.
Application:
Stickers:
- Generally applied by hand.
- Can be placed on a variety of surfaces, such as glass, metal, plastic, or wood.
Labels:
- Can be applied by hand or with label applicators for high-volume projects.
- Often designed for specific surfaces or environments, such as product packaging, bottles, or machinery.
To sum it up, use stickers when you want to add a personal touch or promote a message, and opt for labels when you need to provide important information or organize items. Consider factors like purpose, design, material, durability, and application when deciding between the two.
