If you’ve chosen custom shape, enter the width at the widest part, and the height at the tallest part of your label.

🞬

Clear

Printed on transparent polypropylene vinyl (waterproof). The printed design can be made opaque with the background remaining see-through.


Metallic

Printed on polypropylene vinyl (waterproof) with a metallic overlay to create a foil effect. You can either have your entire design in metallic or only parts of it (such as a logo or some text).


Textured paper

PThis specialist paper material, known as Martele White, has an embossed finish for a luxury, hand-made aesthetic.


Low tack for windows

Made with either opaque white or transparent polypropylene vinyl (both waterproof). Uses a lower tack adhesive that makes them easier to peel off. Similar to static cling.


🞬

Customise the type

Standard

Available with the following materials and finishes:

Waterproof polypropylene material

Highly durable plastic vinyl material. Tear, scratch and UV resistant. Ideal if liquid contact is possible, or you just want high durability. Recyclable.

Available with these finishes:

  • Uncoated – No lamination, giving a middle-ground finish between gloss and matt.
  • Gloss lamination – A shiny finish with even more durability thanks to the laminate coating.
  • Matt lamination – A silky finish. Also with more durability due to the lamination.

Both lamination options add a 10% additional charge.

Uncoated
Gloss Finish
Matt
Paper material

Premium paper stock that’s not waterproof or as strong as vinyl, but still holds up well to light abrasion such as being regularly handled. It’s also a lower cost than waterproof polypropylene. Recyclable and biodegradable.

Available with these finishes:

  • Gloss finish – Shiny
  • Matt finish – Silky.
🞬

Clear

Printed on transparent waterproof plastic with the following options:

Choose the print direction

Normal print has the adhesive on the back and the design on the front. Reverse print has the design on the adhesive side, so it can be stuck onto a transparent surface (like a window) and show the design on the opposite side of the glass. If in doubt, normal print is most likely what you require.

Choose the adhesive

Standard adhesive has a strong hold designed for permanent use. Low tack adhesive is better for temporary use as it’s easier to remove.

Would you like white ink?

Coloured inks printed on clear plastic can be semi-opaque. With white ink, we’ll print a layer of white underneath the printed parts of your design to make them more vibrant. You should also choose this option if you want any parts of your design printed in visible white (such as white text).

Choose a finish
  • Standard finish – No lamination, giving a middle-ground finish between gloss and matt.
  • Gloss lamination – A shiny finish with even more durability thanks to the laminate coating.
🞬

Metallic

🞬

It is a natural paper finish.

🞬

Low tack for windows

Printed on white or transparent waterproof vinyl with the following options:

Standard (on white plastic)

On white plastic for an entirely opaque result. You can also choose the print direction (where the design on the front-face (normal) or on the adhesive side (reverse)), and the finish, where Standard is semi-gloss and gloss laminate is shiny and more durable.

Clear (on transparent plastic)

On transparent plastic so the background is see-through. You can also choose the print direction and finish in the same way as standard. White ink is also available to make the printed parts of your design fully opaque instead of semi-opaque.

🞬

Choose a supply format

On rolls

Supplied on reels around 76mm cardboard tube cores (if you need a different core size please contact us).

Hand apply – No specific set up of the stickers/labels on the roll. Best for applying by hand.

Machine apply – Explain the required orientation/leading edge, winding, number of labels per roll, max roll diameter and anything else you need. This is very important if you’re putting the rolls into a mechanical label applicator. If we need any clarification we’ll contact you.

On sheets

Choose from the standard sizes of DL, A6, A5 or A4. We’ll fit as many of the stickers/labels as we can on each sheet. If a size is unavailable it means your sticker/label is too big to fit.

Individual singles

We’ll cut each label or sticker into individual singles with the backing still applied.

Machine Apply

To make the rolls compatible with your sticker or label applicator, explain any details such as the required:

  • Orientation/leading edge
  • Winding
  • Number of labels per roll
  • Max roll diameter
  • or anything else you need

You can also enter the specific number of rolls you require, and we’ll divide the overall sticker/label quantity by the number of rolls (so if you order 1000 labels and 5 rolls, each roll will have 200 labels).

Do I need this?

These settings are very important if you’re putting the rolls into a mechanical label applicator, as the rolls must be compatible with your equipment (which can vary).

If we need any clarification about what you’ve entered, we’ll contact you before we print.

FAQ


What is the free design service?

At Discount Sticker Printing, we can provide an optional expert design to go with your label or sticker printing order. It's completely free for all Pro orders, or comes with a small additional charge for Basic orders.

Why should I use it instead of a template design?

All designs we create are fully unique and tailored to our customers' needs, goals and brand theme. That means you don't need to settle for a template-based design which is already used by many other businesses.

Do I need to know anything about print specifications?

Not at all. As we'll be creating the design for you, we'll also make sure it meets all our printing specifications. That's one less thing to worry about.

What if I don't have any ideas yet?

You may have preferred to use a template for some design inspiration, but our graphic designers are experts at generating unique ideas that look good and fulfil your objectives.

What if I already have my own design?

Perfect - just select "Upload artwork" during checkout to send us your print-ready design. All uploads come with our Artwork Check Guarantee where we'll make sure it meets all specifications before we start printing.

How do I ask for amendments to the design?

Once the bespoke design is ready, we'll send you an email with a link where you can view it. This will also give you the chance to communicate with your designer and request any amendments.

How long will it take?

Ordering an optional free design typically adds 1 to 3 working days to our usual turnaround times.
