What’s the Difference Between Labels and Stickers?

Labels and stickers are often used interchangeably to refer to a piece of sticky graphic. Although both share some qualities (e.g., materials, adhesives, shapes, etc.), stickers and labels differ on how they are used:  

Labels 

Labels are often used for brand identification and for providing information. They can be used on product packaging and shipping boxes but can also be used for personal items. Label size is usually determined by the surface where they will be used. For example, a 3” x 3” round label could go on a mason jar or on a water bottle.  

Stickers 

Stickers are typically printed to promote a brand or cause. In offline marketing, stickers serve as a seal of approval or thumbs up from customers when used. Stickers can be inserted in packages, handed out to customers, and given as a freebie with every purchase.  

 

When to Use Cut-to-Size and Roll Labels

At UPrinting, you can print cut-to-size or roll labels. Cut-to-size are individually cut in your chosen shape and are suitable for labeling specialty products and gifts. Our wide size range lets you print labels as small as 1.5” x 2.5” to as big as 8.5” x 11”. You can print these on two types of materials:

Roll Label Materials

Roll labels are the more practical choice for those who need to label products in bulk manually or using a dispenser. They’re easier to peel but also fit in most label dispensers for fast and easy application. You can adjust the label’s design according to our custom sizes and die-cutting options. 


* Writable with permanent ink markers given sufficient drying time.

Both cut-to-size and roll materials come in a matte, gloss, or high-gloss finish. Matte offers a rustic and organic look, while gloss and high-gloss surfaces let the colors pop. Both matte and gloss are applied on labels found on products displayed indoors. 

How to Create Custom Labels

Choose a format that suits your quantity and application method.

Cut-to-size

Cut-to-size are individually cut in your chosen shape and are suitable for labeling specialty products and gifts. Our wide size range lets you print labels as small as 1.5” x 2.5” up to as big as 8.5” x 11”.

These labels have two panels that you need to bend and peel to reveal the adhesive. This short video shows how to properly remove the backing from cut-to-size labels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz9Tx7-0XI4


Rolls

Rolls repeat the same design on a spool. One roll can fit an automatic label dispenser, which you can use to quickly apply labels by the hundreds or thousands. If you are peeling the roll labels off by hand, lift a corner from the backing slowly and then move to another corner and peel to prevent wrinkling.


Sheets

Sheets print the same or different designs on one flat surface. You can select the size of each label and the number of labels printed on each sheet. These labels come with one large backing. Carefully separate the labels from the backing with your finger. Look for the outline on the backing to see where you can lift off the label.


 Kiss-cut

Kiss-cut are individually cut labels that have a large backing to protect the edges of the custom shape. To remove the labels, gently lift one side and slowly pull the rest to avoid creasing upon application by hand.


The materials available depend on the format you choose. Most formats offer durable indoor and outdoor-friendly materials. For more information on the adhesives, check out the Materials & Specs tab.


Choose From Our Available Shapes or Customize It

Our custom labels are also available in several die-cut shapes such as: square/rectangle, circle, oval, arch, hexagon, heart, and starburst. We’ll cut and print them until the edges or place them on a paper backing based on your labe

l format.

If you want to be more creative with your labels, you can go with a custom shape. Select “Custom Size” from the Size dropdown and several dimensions will appear for you to combine.

For more intricate shapes that need the edges clear and crease-free, use the guide below for the proper placement of your dieline. Dieline refers to where we will cut the sticker to complete its final size and shape.
