Match a Sticker to the Surface
| Object | Typical surface | Sizes that suit it | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Envelope flap | 110 x 220 mm envelope | 30 x 30 mm, 40 x 40 mm | Small seals sit on the point and stay off the fold |
| Jar lid | 63 mm or 70 mm across | 60 x 60 mm round | Sits inside the lip, flat on the face of the lid |
| Phone back | About 147 x 72 mm | 30 x 100 mm, 60 x 60 mm | Fits below the camera and clear of the curved edges |
| Drink bottle | About 73 mm across | 75 x 200 mm | Tall narrow shapes follow the curve without lifting |
| Mailer box | About 220 x 160 mm lid | 100 x 100 mm, 120 x 120 mm | Sits on the lid face, inside the taped edge |
| Laptop lid | About 300 x 210 mm | 75 x 75 mm, 120 x 120 mm | Wide shapes sit flat across the panel |
Keep the sticker inside the flat area of the surface. Corners that wrap over a curve or an edge lift first.

What is the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers?
Die-cut stickers are individually cut to the sticker shape with no backing border; you peel each one separately. Kiss-cut stickers are cut through the vinyl but leave the backing paper intact, so multiple stickers sit on a single sheet that you peel one at a time.
Die-cut suits product packaging and individual giveaways; kiss-cut suits multi-sticker sheets, character packs, and bulk distribution.
Are your custom stickers waterproof?
Vinyl stickers are water-resistant and suitable for indoor and short-to-medium outdoor use, including drink bottles, laptops, fridges, and bumpers. Laminated vinyl with UV-resistant inks is recommended for sustained outdoor, marine, or high-UV environments.
Paper stickers are not water-resistant by default and suit dry-product applications such as pantry labels, craft packaging, and gift seals.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom stickers?
Most products in the range start at low minimums suitable for small-batch makers, product launches, and event runs. Bulk pricing tiers begin at higher volumes; the exact tier breaks are listed on each product page.
How do I print custom stickers?
Upload your artwork on the relevant product page and use the live price calculator to set size, material and quantity. You will receive a digital proof after our pre-press team checks resolution, bleed, font outlining, colour profile and cut path, and nothing is printed until you approve that proof. Low minimums and no setup fee mean a small run is a low risk first step. After approval by 10am Melbourne time, production is typically 24 hours for stickers, though foil, bumper, vinyl, holographic and textured stickers are excluded.
How long does production take?
Most sticker orders are produced within 24 hours when the design proof is approved by 10am Melbourne time, and are released for shipment the following business day. Specialty finishes such as holographic and metallic foil take 3 to 5 working days after proof approval; we confirm the exact timeline before printing.
Can you print to a custom shape?
Yes, custom shapes are standard for die-cut stickers. Upload your shape file (vector preferred, AI or EPS) with the order, or include a clearly defined cut path on a PDF. Our team confirms the shape on the digital proof before printing.
What artwork file formats do you accept?
Vector formats are preferred: AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG, with all fonts outlined and at 100% scale. We also accept high-resolution PNG and TIFF files at 300 DPI minimum at print size.
RGB files are converted to CMYK for press; we flag any colour-shift risk on the digital proof. If your artwork is below resolution or missing bleed, our pre-press team contacts you before production.
What sticker sizes are available?
Standard sizes range from small 50mm round labels to large A4 and A3 single-piece die-cuts, with custom sizing available across the range. Bulk multi-sticker sheets are sized to fit common kiss-cut layouts.
For sizing recommendations by application (laptop decal, bottle label, bumper, window) see our sticker size guide.
How much does sticker printing cost?
Pricing scales by material, finish, size, quantity, and shape complexity. Die-cut stickers in the 30 x 30 mm size cost $0.64 per sticker for an order of 50 stickers and $0.07 per sticker for an order of 5,000 stickers. Foil stickers and other specialty finishes sit higher on the price list than these figures. The most accurate quote is the live calculator on each product page.
For a tier-by-tier breakdown of pricing across the Australian market see our sticker printing cost guide.
Is there a cheap sticker printing option for small orders?
Yes. Die-cut stickers start from $0.07 per sticker (inc. GST), which applies at 5,000 stickers in the 30 x 30 mm size, with no custom shape fee and no setup charge. For small runs the price per sticker is higher, $0.64 at 50 and $0.52 at 100. The smallest order is 10 stickers and an order of 10 to 50 is charged as a run of 50.
If you need a low-risk first run, order a small test batch to check your design and then scale up once you are happy with the result. The unit cost drops significantly at 250+ units.
What is the cheapest sticker printing option in bulk?
The lowest price per sticker in the range is on circle, square and die-cut stickers on White Gloss Sticker and White Matte Sticker, at $0.07 per sticker for 5,000 stickers in the 30 x 30 mm size. Because the cutting is digital, a custom die-cut shape carries no die fee and is priced the same as a circle or square of equal size.
Vinyl stickers start from $0.09 per sticker at 5,000 stickers in the 30 x 30 mm size. For outdoor use, choose this stock, which costs a little more per sticker.
Will the stickers fade or peel over time?
Indoor vinyl stickers retain colour for years with no measurable fading; laminated vinyl is rated for several years of outdoor exposure. Adhesive bond strengthens for the first 24 to 48 hours after application; once cured, removal requires heat or a citrus-based solvent.
For applications where you need clean removal after the campaign, request our removable adhesive option at quote time.
Can I see a sample or get a digital proof before printing?
Every order receives a digital proof before printing, you sign off on colour, sizing, cut path, and content before we go to press. Physical sample packs of common materials are available on request for first-time orders or large-volume tenders.
Do you help with sticker design?
Yes, if you have a logo or rough concept, our design team can build print-ready artwork for a small additional fee. We also provide blank templates for common sticker shapes and sizes; download from the relevant product page or contact our team.
Do you offer wholesale pricing for custom stickers?
Yes. Bulk sticker pricing improves as quantity increases, especially for repeat runs and high-volume brand, retail, packaging, and event orders. Send your sticker type, size, material, quantity, number of designs, and deadline for a custom wholesale quote.
What is the minimum order for bulk stickers?
All custom stickers order from a minimum of just 10, and orders of 10 to 50 are priced the same as a 50-sticker run. Sticker sheets start from a minimum of 10 sheets, while labels are supplied in rolls with a minimum of 1 roll (500 labels). The product page or quote stage will confirm the right minimum for your job.
Which sticker material is best for wholesale orders?
Vinyl is the best default for waterproof, outdoor, merchandise, and hard-wearing use. Paper is better for dry packaging, gift seals, and boutique retail. Foil, clear, and holographic finishes are best for premium launches or shelf impact.
How long do bulk sticker orders take?
Standard production is 24 hours when your design proof is approved by 10am Melbourne time. Custom or complex orders that need additional processing time may not qualify, and the exact timeline is confirmed on the proof.
Where can I get sticker printing in Australia?
Paperlust Print Shop prints custom stickers in Australia at our Melbourne studio in Oakleigh South. We produce die-cut, kiss-cut, vinyl, paper, and foil stickers locally, with a free file check and a digital proof on every order, then ship Australia-wide.

What is the difference between custom stickers and labels?

Labels are supplied on rolls with a liner backing, suited to packaging lines, dispensers and applicators. If you need labels on rolls, see our custom labels range.

Stickers or Labels? How to Choose
Stickers on this page are individual die-cut or kiss-cut pieces, or printed sheets, made for hand application to products, packaging, envelopes and surfaces. If you need labels supplied on rolls for packaging lines, dispensers or applicators, our custom labels range is built for that.
Sticker Printing in Australia for Brand, Product, and Promo
Our custom stickers are printed in Australia on durable vinyl and premium label paper, with vibrant full-colour output, strong adhesive, and finishes that hold up indoors and out. From small-batch product launches to big-run brand activations, the range covers die-cut and kiss-cut shapes, sheets, foil and metallic finishes, clear vinyl, and specialty options like holographic and removable adhesive.
Every order ships with free pre-press file checks, a digital proof before printing, and low minimums for makers and small businesses. Bulk sticker orders suit retail rollouts, event activations and brand merch programs, because the price per sticker falls as the run gets bigger and the price table further down this page shows real printed totals. If you are weighing up which sticker type fits the use case, the complete sticker types guide walks through every option side by side.
The four levers that drive a great sticker order, material, finish, cut style, and adhesive grade, are explained in the sections below. Pick the material first; the rest cascades from there.
Shop Custom Stickers by Material
Material is the single biggest decision driver for custom stickers because it determines durability, finish, surface compatibility, and cost per unit. Three families cover almost every brief.
Vinyl: the workhorse for durability and outdoor use
Vinyl is our most-ordered sticker substrate by a wide margin. The face stock is a flexible polymer film that resists water, oil, mild solvents, scuffing, and temperature swings from refrigerator-cold to tropical-warm. With a permanent acrylic adhesive, vinyl bonds cleanly to glass, metal, plastic, painted surfaces, laptops, drink bottles, vehicles, and packaging. The film flexes around curved surfaces without lifting, which is why it works on bottles, helmets, and vehicle panels where rigid-stock paper labels would crease or peel.
Available in gloss, matte, and satin laminates and as full white, clear, or holographic vinyl. Gloss is the high-saturation default (brightest colour, easiest wipe-down). Matte reads more premium and works better under direct light without glare. Satin sits in between. For a head-to-head between vinyl and paper substrates, see our vinyl vs paper sticker guide.
Paper: for craft, eco, and food applications
Premium label paper sits in a different niche. The natural stock photographs beautifully, takes ink with a softer matte finish, and is a strong fit for craft brands, artisan food and beverage labels, cosmetic packaging, candle jars, soap wraps, and gift-wrap seals. The tactile feel reads as handmade and small-batch, the right signal for an apothecary or boutique food brand where vinyl can come across as too commercial.
Paper stickers are not water-resistant by default, so they suit pantry-shelf and dry-product use rather than fridge, freezer, or outdoor environments.
Specialty: foil, clear, holographic, removable
Specialty finishes are the fastest way to make a sticker stand out on a retail shelf or in a swag drop. Flat-foil and metallic options add reflective gold, silver, rose gold, and copper accents to logos and edges, the full process and design considerations are covered in our foil stickers guide. Foil is also the format with the highest perceived value at the lowest material cost premium, which is why so many premium product launches lead with a foil sticker seal.
Clear vinyl prints with a transparent base for glass-substrate labels and window decals where the surface should show through. Holographic and rainbow finishes suit limited-edition merch, gaming, and youth brands where standing out matters more than a subtle look. The holographic and glitter stickers page covers both finishes, with Glitter Flake as the sparkle option. Removable adhesive is available for short-run promotions and event signage that needs to come down cleanly without residue. When the surface is a shopfront window, perforated one-way window film prints on the outside while staying see-through from the inside.
Built for outdoor and weather exposure
Standard vinyl with gloss or matte laminate handles short-to-medium outdoor exposure cleanly, bumper stickers, window decals, event signage, food-truck branding. For sustained outdoor, marine, or high-UV applications we recommend laminated vinyl with UV-resistant inks; the waterproof and outdoor sticker materials guide explains the spec we use for each environment, including expected outdoor life by laminate grade.
Material Comparison at a Glance

Affordable Sticker Printing: What You Actually Pay Per Unit
Sticker pricing in Australia is genuinely competitive at Paperlust Print Shop, and the per-unit cost drops sharply with volume. Here is what you pay at standard order sizes.
Circle, square and die-cut stickers start at $0.07 per sticker (inc. GST) for 5,000 stickers in the 30 x 30 mm size on White Gloss Sticker or White Matte Sticker, with no die fee and no setup charge. Vinyl stickers start from $0.09 each. Foil stickers from $0.25 each for a finish that typically costs two to three times more elsewhere. The price shown on each product card is the price you pay.
For buyers planning bulk brand activations, packaging rollouts, event runs and loyalty programs, the price per sticker for the 30 x 30 mm size steps down from $0.22 at 500 stickers to $0.15 at 1,000 and $0.07 at 5,000. Request a custom bulk quote for orders over 5,000 units.
Nobody wants to click through every sticker format just to find out what a run costs. The table below lets you check a real printed price before you commit to a product page, so you can compare where the per-sticker cost drops as the run grows. When you are ready to order, the live calculator on each product page prices your exact size, material and finish.

Shop Custom Stickers by Use Case
Branding and Marketing Merch
Laptop stickers, water-bottle decals, swag-drop sets, and team-merch packs. Die-cut to your logo shape so the brand reads cleanly with no white border, see our die-cut vs kiss-cut breakdown for which to choose. Vinyl with gloss or matte laminate is the safe default; specialty foil works for premium giveaways and influencer kits.
Product Packaging and Labels
Bottle and jar labels, candle labels, soap and cosmetic packaging, box seals, and mailer wraps. Paper for craft and apothecary brands; vinyl when the product touches water, oil, fridge, or freezer. Sheets and rolls available for brands running a manual application line. When labelled products are ready for dispatch, that same branding can extend to the outside of the parcel with custom printed mailer boxes. If a natural brown box suits the brand better, kraft mailing boxes are available from 500 boxes with a logo printed in one or two spot colours.
Events and Activations
Floor decals for wayfinding, window stickers for pop-up storefronts, sponsor logo seals on giveaways, and table-edge labels for trade-show booths. Removable adhesive options keep venue surfaces clean after pack-down.
Vehicles and Outdoor Signage
Bumper stickers, car-window decals, food-truck branding, helmet and hard-hat labels, and outdoor real-estate yard signs. Laminated vinyl with UV-resistant inks for the long-life outdoor work; check the outdoor materials guide for sustained-exposure specifications.
Walls, Floors, and Windows
Wall decals for retail interiors, large-format floor decals for wayfinding and social-distancing markers, and clear window stickers for storefront branding. Available in single-piece die-cut or tile-and-repeat formats for big surfaces.
Promo Sheets and Giveaways
Multi-sticker kiss-cut sheets for character packs, sticker books, kids events, and brand collectible series. Bulk-priced from low minimums, check the sticker size guide for how to lay out a multi-sticker sheet efficiently.
How to Choose: A Quick-Pick Guide
If you are unsure which combination fits your job, the quick-pick below maps the most common applications to a recommended starting spec. These are defaults, not absolutes, the digital proof and quote stage is where we tighten the spec to your exact use.
If your job is...
Logo decals for laptops and merch: die-cut vinyl, gloss laminate, permanent adhesive.
Bottle, jar, or product labels (food): water-resistant paper or vinyl, matte finish, permanent adhesive.
Bumper or vehicle decals: laminated outdoor vinyl, gloss finish, UV-resistant ink.
Event giveaways and sticker packs: kiss-cut sheet, vinyl, gloss or matte.
...the recommended spec is
Premium retail seal or product foil accent: foil or metallic vinyl, die-cut.
Window decals and storefront branding: clear vinyl, die-cut, removable adhesive optional.
Wayfinding floor decals (events / retail): laminated vinyl, slip-resistant top-coat, removable.
Limited-edition merch with rainbow effect: holographic vinyl, kiss-cut sheet or die-cut individual.
Adhesive Grades and When to Use Each
Adhesive choice determines whether the sticker stays put for years or comes down cleanly after an event. Three grades cover almost every use case.
Permanent
The default adhesive on most vinyl and paper stickers. Bonds fully within 24 to 48 hours; removal requires heat or a citrus-based solvent. Use for product packaging, brand decals, long-life outdoor signage, and anything you do not plan to remove.
Removable
A modified adhesive that lifts cleanly without residue, typically within 6 to 12 months of application. Use for event wayfinding, short-run promotions, seasonal retail, and any decal that needs to come off venue surfaces clean.
Repositionable
Low-tack adhesive that allows multiple lift-and-stick cycles before the bond cures. Use for wall decals, reusable labels, and application-tricky surfaces where a single-shot permanent adhesive would risk a misalignment.
Specialty options
For glass and food-contact applications we offer compliant adhesive grades; ask at quote stage and our team will spec the right film and adhesive for the substrate.
How to Print Custom Stickers With Paperlust
Before you print stickers with us, settle the format. Choose whether you want die-cut stickers cut to your own outline, kiss-cut stickers on a backing sheet, or printed sheets. That choice drives how you prepare artwork and what quantity you enter into the calculator.
Artwork preparation is where the detail matters. When you print custom stickers, upload a file with enough resolution, the right colour profile and a defined cut path. Every order gets a free pre-press file check and a digital proof before anything is printed, so you are not committing to a result you have not seen. Our pre-press team checks resolution, bleed, font outlining, colour profile and cut path, then you approve the proof. Nothing goes to press until you say yes.
Quantity changes the price as much as the format does. The live price calculator on each product page gives you the cost as you adjust sizes, materials and volumes. Custom stickers start from $0.07 per sticker at bulk quantity, inclusive of GST, with no setup fee and low minimums.
Approval is the gate before production. Once you approve your proof by 10am Melbourne time, production of your printed stickers is typically 24 hours. Foil, bumper, vinyl, holographic and textured stickers sit outside that production window. The finished order ships Australia-wide from our studio in Oakleigh South, Melbourne. Sticker printing from your side means you choose, upload, approve and leave the rest to us.
How a Custom Sticker Order Moves Through the Press
From order placement to dispatch, every custom sticker passes through a five-step production pipeline. Knowing what happens at each stage helps you plan timelines and spot the right moments to review the work.
1. File check
Within one business day of order placement, our pre-press team opens your artwork and checks resolution, bleed, font outlining, colour profile (RGB vs CMYK), and cut path integrity. Any flagged issues come back to you with specific notes; clean files move straight to proof.
2. Digital proof
You receive a digital proof showing the print output at exact sizing, with the cut path overlaid. Sign off on colour, sizing, shape, and content. No production starts until you confirm.
3. Press
Approved files run on production digital presses (most jobs) or dedicated foil and specialty equipment for premium finishes. Production typically takes 24 hours after your proof is approved by 10am Melbourne time.
4. Lamination and cutting
Vinyl orders pass through the laminator for the chosen finish (gloss, matte, or satin) before the cutter applies the die-cut or kiss-cut path. Sheets are stacked, counted, and quality-checked against the proof.
5. Pack and dispatch
Stickers are packed flat with backing rigidity to prevent curl, sealed in protective packaging, and dispatched via tracked Australia Post or courier. Tracking link comes by email at dispatch.
Application, Care, and Expected Lifespan
A clean application is the difference between a sticker that lasts the full rated life and one that lifts at the corners within weeks. Our standard recommendation:
- Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry fully, no oils, no dust, no moisture trapped between film and substrate.
- Peel back a corner of the backing, align the sticker, and apply gradual pressure from the center outward to push air bubbles to the edges.
- For larger decals, use the wet-application method (a light mist of soapy water on the surface) to allow repositioning before the adhesive cures.
- Allow 24 to 48 hours for the adhesive to fully bond before exposure to water, sustained sun, or heavy handling.
Indoor vinyl retains colour for many years. Standard-laminated outdoor vinyl is rated 2 to 3 years exterior life under typical Australian conditions; UV-resistant inks with premium laminate extend this to 5+ years for vehicle, signage, and architectural applications. Paper stickers indoor have effectively unlimited colour life so long as the substrate stays dry.

Why Print With Paperlust
Australian-printed with fast turnaround and locally-stocked substrates, so you avoid the freight delay and customs uncertainty of overseas sticker print services. Free pre-press file checks on every order, our team flags low-resolution artwork, missing bleed, RGB conversion issues, and font outline problems before printing rather than after, which avoids the most common reprint and disappointment scenarios.
Every order receives a digital proof showing the exact print output, cut path, and material before press, so colour, sizing, and shape are signed off before any production cost is committed. For pricing tiers across quantity bands see our Australian sticker printing cost guide, the unit cost halves typically between the 100 and 500 quantity break, and halves again between 500 and 2,500.
Wholesale Sticker Printing for Australian Businesses
Bulk Pricing Tiers
Bulk discounts are built into the per-unit rate, not applied as a separate discount code. The more you order in a single run, the lower each sticker costs. Per sticker prices for die-cut stickers at 30 x 30 mm with one design and no laminate:
- 50 units: from $0.64 each (inc. GST)
- 100 units: from $0.52 each (inc. GST)
- 500 units: from $0.22 each (inc. GST)
- 1,000 units: from $0.15 each (inc. GST)
- 5,000 units: from $0.07 each (inc. GST)
Exact pricing depends on size, shape complexity, and finish. Use the product calculator for an exact quote. Standard delivery is $10 per order Australia-wide, express delivery is $15 per order Australia-wide, and pickup from Oakleigh South, Victoria is available at no charge.
Ordering stickers in bulk is the easiest way to bring the unit cost down while keeping your packaging, events, and brand activations consistent. Paperlust Print Shop handles wholesale sticker orders for retailers, cafes, agencies, event teams, product brands, and franchise groups that need reliable repeat runs across one or multiple designs.
Most bulk sticker jobs start with the same decisions as a smaller order: material, finish, cut style, adhesive, quantity, and delivery deadline. Vinyl is the safest choice for waterproof labels, drink bottles, outdoor use, laptops, and merchandise. Paper suits dry product packaging, gift seals, candle labels, and boutique retail where a softer matte finish feels more natural. Foil, clear, holographic, and specialty finishes work best when the sticker needs to act as a premium brand detail rather than a simple label.
Bulk pricing is quantity-driven, so your per-sticker cost usually drops as order volume rises. Our custom sticker range starts from $0.07 inc GST, with stronger unit pricing available on higher-volume runs and repeat orders. If you are comparing sticker types for a wholesale job, start with die-cut stickers for branded shapes, vinyl stickers for durability, or sticker sheets for multi-design packs.
Standard sticker production is 24 hours when your design proof is approved by 10am Melbourne time, with orders released for shipment the following business day. Every order includes pre-press file checks and a digital proof before printing, so artwork, sizing, and cut paths are confirmed before the job goes to press.

Match a Sticker to the Surface
A sticker size listed in millimetres is hard to picture until you hold it against the thing you are labelling. The table below matches our sizes to everyday objects so you can see what fits before you order. Use it as a starting point, then remember the simplest rule: the sticker should sit inside the flat area of the surface. If it wraps over a curve or an edge, the corners lift.
| Object | Typical surface | Sizes that suit it | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laptop lid | about 300 x 210 mm | 75 x 75 mm, 120 x 120 mm | wide shapes sit flat across the panel and leave room for a logo or a short line of text |
| Phone back | about 147 x 72 mm | 30 x 100 mm, 60 x 60 mm | small squares and rounded corners fit below the camera and stay clear of the curved edges |
| Jar lid | 63 mm or 70 mm across | 60 x 60 mm | round sizes sit inside the lip and stay flat on the face of the lid |
| Drink bottle | about 73 mm across | 75 x 200 mm | tall narrow shapes follow the curve and avoid the wrap that makes a wide sticker lift |
| Envelope flap | 110 x 220 mm envelope | 30 x 30 mm, 40 x 40 mm | small seals sit neatly on the point and stay off the fold |
| Mailer box | about 220 x 160 mm lid | 100 x 100 mm, 120 x 120 mm | wide or round sizes sit on the lid face and stay inside the taped edge |
Handle the Materials Before Ordering
Colour on a screen and finish on a bench are different things. Order the sticker and label sample pack and you can handle our printed stock and finish samples before you commit to a run. Check how a matte or gloss laminate changes the surface, and see how opaque a clear stock really looks against packaging. The pack is posted to you and is not printed with your own artwork, so it is purely for judging materials.
Stickers for the Job They Do
While the range above sorts by shape and material, the links below take you to pages built by job, a thank you sticker for customer orders and a sticker cut to the outline of your logo artwork.
