Why Choose Our Custom Stickers
Custom Stickers | Die-Cut Product Labels, Branding & Promotional Stickers
Custom stickers and labels serve as the most versatile branding tool in the packaging ecosystem — applied to bottles, jars, boxes, bags, equipment, vehicles, and almost any surface to communicate brand identity, product information, or promotional messages. From small-batch artisan food labels to high-volume product stickers for consumer goods, our custom stickers are printed on materials engineered for their specific application environment: waterproof for beverage bottles, freezer-grade for frozen food, UV-resistant for outdoor use, and removable for promotional applications.
Sticker and Label Materials
- White BOPP: The most popular sticker material — waterproof, tear-resistant, and printable with vivid full-color — standard for food and beverage labels
- Clear BOPP: Transparent film that creates a no-label look on glass and clear PET bottles — preferred by premium beverage and cosmetic brands
- Kraft Paper: Natural brown paper stock for artisan, organic, and handmade brand aesthetics
- Metallic Silver and Gold: Metalized film for premium product labeling and high-end brand identity
- Vinyl: Thick, durable material for equipment labels, vehicle graphics, and outdoor applications
Sticker Finishing Options
Stickers are finished with lamination (gloss or matte) for durability and premium feel, spot UV for selective gloss highlights on matte stickers, die-cut in any custom shape beyond standard rectangles and circles, and with specialty adhesive systems for removable, freeze-resistant, or tamper-evident applications.
Applications
Custom stickers are used for product labels on bottles, jars, and packaging, packaging decoration and seal stickers, shipping labels and custom tape, promotional stickers for marketing campaigns, branded stickers for fan community building, and window decals for retail and vehicle branding.
Choosing the Right Sticker Material for Your Application
Sticker material selection begins with the application environment. White BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is the workhorse material — waterproof, tear-resistant, and printable with vivid full color — ideal for most product labeling applications. Clear BOPP creates the 'no-label look' on glass bottles that premium beverage and cosmetic brands prefer — the label appears to be printed directly on the bottle surface. Kraft paper communicates artisan and organic brand values but is not waterproof. Vinyl is the outdoor standard — UV-resistant, weather-resistant, and durable for years in direct sunlight on vehicles and equipment.
Die-Cut Stickers: Beyond Rectangles
Die-cut stickers are cut to any custom shape — the sticker's exterior edge follows the artwork's shape rather than being rectangular. This allows brand marks, product shapes, mascots, and custom outlines to become sticker shapes that command attention far more effectively than standard rectangle labels. Die-cut stickers are particularly effective for promotional and fan community applications where the sticker's shape IS the visual. We produce die-cut stickers in any shape with 0.5mm kiss-cut precision — the backing sheet remains intact while the sticker is cut to exact shape for easy peeling.

Custom Stickers in Pasadena — FAQs
What is the difference between BOPP and vinyl stickers?
BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) is a thinner, more conformable film ideal for product labels — it conforms to curved bottle and jar surfaces. Vinyl is thicker, more rigid, and highly durable for outdoor applications, vehicle graphics, and equipment labels that must withstand UV exposure, weather, and abrasion for years. BOPP is the right choice for product labeling; vinyl is the right choice for outdoor and equipment applications.
What is a 'no-label look' sticker?
A no-label look is achieved with clear BOPP film printed with your design. When applied to a clear glass or PET bottle, the clear film is invisible — only the printed artwork shows, creating the impression that the design is printed directly on the bottle. This premium labeling technique is widely used by craft beverage brands, premium spirits, and natural cosmetic brands for a sophisticated, clean presentation.
Can stickers be freezer-safe?
Yes. Freezer-grade stickers use adhesive systems formulated for application and long-term adhesion at temperatures from -20°F to 32°F. The film and adhesive remain flexible at frozen temperatures without curling, lifting, or releasing. Freezer-grade stickers are standard for frozen food product labeling.

Our minimum order is 100 stickers per design. For product labels requiring multiple SKU variants, we produce each variant at the 100-unit minimum. Roll format stickers for automated label application are available from 500 units.
