Custom Stickers are made-to-order designs printed just for you. You choose the shape, size, material, finish, and upload your artwork—we’ll handle the rest. Whether you’re branding products, handing out swag, or decorating gear, custom stickers help you show off your message, your way.

StickerGiant offers a variety of high-quality materials to bring your sticker designs to life—whether you're creating branded giveaways, product packaging, or eye-catching promo pieces.

Our most common material is Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP)—a flexible, lightweight, and eco-friendly alternative to vinyl. It delivers excellent print quality and performs well in a wide range of applications.

All Stickers are finished with your choice of glossy or matte laminate for added protection and a polished look—except for specialty materials where noted.

We also offer unique materials to make your Stickers stand out:

• Clear for a see-through, no-label look
• Holographic for a color-shifting shimmer
• Glitter for sparkle without the mess
• Glow-in-the-Dark for a luminous effect in low light (no laminate)
• Paper-based options for indoor or temporary use

Note: Our Stickers are not food-safe and should not be applied directly to edible products.

Custom Stickers are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They hold up well in rain, snow, car washes, and coolers, making them ideal for outdoor gear, water bottles, and cars. However, they’re not designed for full submersion, and repeated dishwasher use may degrade the lamination—we recommend hand washing to extend sticker life.

Custom Stickers are also highly durable and resistant to scratches, oil, and fading—so your designs stay vibrant through everyday wear and tear.

We print on specialty materials including Clear, Holographic, Glitter, and Glow-in-the-Dark.

• Clear Stickers: printed on transparent polypropylene, allowing your design to float seamlessly on any surface. We use white ink behind selected areas to make colors stand out or keep parts see-through. You can choose back adhesive for traditional use or face adhesive for window displays. Available in glossy or matte finish.
• Holographic Stickers: printed on a rainbow-reflective polyester material that shifts in the light, adding a vibrant, eye-catching effect. Use white ink to block the holographic shimmer in certain areas or add contrast to your design. Available in glossy or matte finish.
• Glitter Stickers: printed on a sparkly material that shines through your design. You can apply white ink to enhance readability or mask the glitter in specific areas. Available in glossy or matte finish.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Stickers: printed on phosphorescent PET material that charges in light and emits a soft green glow in the dark. For best results, use lighter colors and avoid dark inks that block the glow effect.

Yes. Every new order includes a free digital proof showing layout, size, and cut lines. You'll receive it within 1–2 business days after artwork upload. We won’t print until you approve it.

Once you approve your proof, your order moves into production which typically takes 2 to 5 business days, not including weekends or holidays. Need it faster? Rush Printing is available on most products (excluding Waterless Tattoos and Backprinting). Pro tip: The sooner you approve your proof, the sooner we can start printing!

Next Day Air speeds up shipping time, not production time. That means your custom order will still take 2–5 business days to print after proof approval. Once it ships, it should arrive the next business day via UPS or FedEx. Be sure to factor in both production and shipping time when planning your delivery date.

Rush Printing is a priority service that ensures your stickers are printed and shipped 1 business day after you approve your proof. It moves your order to the front of our proofing and production queues to help you meet tight deadlines.

Rush applies to production time only—it does not affect shipping speed. To receive your order sooner, select expedited shipping at checkout or choose Local Pick-Up if you're in Colorado.

At checkout, select “Rush Your Order" under shipping options.

Important Notes:

• Rush applies to your entire order—place separate orders to expedite only certain items.
• Delays in proof approval will delay production.
• Not available for Waterless Tattoos or Backprinting
• Rush availability depends on our current production capacity. If you don’t see the option at checkout, contact our Customer Service Team —we’ll do our best to help.

Yes—most of our Custom Stickers come with split-back liners (also called crack-and-peel backing) to make them easier to peel and apply. These ¾-inch pre-slit sections help you quickly remove individually cut Stickers like Die Cut, Holographic, and Glitter Stickers.

However, not all Stickers include split-backing:

• Sticker Sheets and Clear Stickers do not have split-backing due to how they’re made.
  Tip: For Clear Stickers, you can request a tab or a carrier sheet in the Special Instructions box at checkout to make peeling easier.
• Small Stickers (especially under 1"x1") may be harder to peel individually. In those cases, we recommend Kiss Cut Stickers on rolls, which are easier to remove and apply.

For the easiest peeling experience: Choose Sticker Sheets or Kiss Cut Stickers. These formats feature a square backing around each sticker, making them simple to peel—especially for delicate shapes or detailed designs.

Use the Special Instructions box (right below the artwork upload area) to request things like:

• Remove background from a photo
• Make just the logo holographic
• Add glitter to stars only

These notes stay with your order through proofing, printing, and shipping—so we can get it right the first time.

Reordering? Reorders skip proofing, so if you need to include new special instructions, place a new order instead of clicking “Reorder.”

Forgot to add a note? Contact our Customer Service team prior to apprvoing your proof so we can cancel and submit your special instructions. 

Yes! You can fit up to 30 different designs on a single Sticker Sheet. Sticker Sheets are available in all materials, including standard white, clear, glitter, holographic, and glow-in-the-dark. Just select “Sticker Sheet” as your shape when ordering and size your artwork file to fit the full sheet (max 11" x 14"). Each design must be at least 0.75" x 0.75" for best results.

Not exactly. While both are printed on durable BOPP, Custom Stickers are individually cut and built for visibility—perfect for giveaways, merch, outdoor use, or creative promotions. Labels are typically delivered on rolls for faster application to products, containers, and packaging.

Custom Stickers are all about bold design and brand impact. Labels are all about speed and practicality. Both are high quality—it just depends how you plan to use them.

Die Cut Stickers are cut through both the sticker and the backing to match your requested shape. Stickers are supplied individually with a crack-and-peel backing, making them easy to hand out or package. Best for trade shows, thank-you inserts, and sticker shops.

Kiss Cut Stickers are also custom-shaped, but only the sticker layer is cut—the backing stays intact. This makes them easier to peel, especially for small or delicate designs. Finished on rolls, they’re great for retail, packaging, or events where speed and organization matter. 

Easy! Just go to our Order Status Page, enter your Order # or Item #, and you’ll see where your order is in the process—from proofing to shipping. If any action is needed from you, like proof approval, we’ll reach out with clear next steps.
