What is the difference between a label and a sticker?


Labels and stickers may seem similar, but they serve different purposes and are made from different materials. Understanding their distinctions can help you choose the right option for your needs.


What is a Sticker?

Stickers are made for branding, personal, and promotional use. They are typically produced from more durable materials, often featuring a stronger adhesive and resistance to elements like water, sunlight, and abrasion. Stickers are meant to last longer and can be applied to various surfaces for both indoor and outdoor use. They are delivered as individuals or on sheets.

What is a Label?

Our labels are delivered on rolls and primarily used to provide informational details about a product, such as ingredients, barcodes, or instructions. They are usually made from thinner materials and are designed for temporary or controlled-use applications, such as packaging and product identification. Labels are typically not as durable as stickers and are often easier to remove.

Since labels are easier to peel and can fit standard machinery, they help streamline the production process, making application quicker and more efficient.

Which one should you choose?

  • Choose stickers if you want long-lasting, durable, and visually appealing designs for branding, marketing, or personal use.

  • Choose labels if you need temporary, informative markings for packaging, products, or organization that are easy to peel.
