How to choose the right type of stickers and labels for your business

A sticker looks like a simple product until you have to choose the material, size, shape, application and method of placement. A bottle label, a window sticker and a roll label for a production line can look alike on screen but solve very different problems.

Start from the application

Before choosing a material, establish where the label will be applied, whether it goes on by hand or by machine, what quantity is needed, and whether it will be used indoors or outdoors.

PrintVes offers several different solutions: self-adhesive labels for flexible, manual use, roll labels for automated and high-volume application, bottle labels, and PVC vinyl stickers for interior and exterior applications.

Self-adhesive labels

These suit a practical solution for a product, packaging, a promotional run or general labelling. The advantage is flexible application and the ability to use them across varied projects.

Roll labels

At higher quantities, the method of feeding matters. Roll labels are intended for automated, high-volume application and are especially relevant to production processes.

Before ordering, it helps to confirm the machine or the application method, the dimensions, the quantity and the characteristics of the surface.

Bottle labels

For food, drink and cosmetics the label is both a functional part of the packaging and an important visual element. The size and shape have to suit the specific bottle and the way it is applied.

PVC stickers and outdoor applications

Once the graphics will be exposed to outdoor conditions, the task changes. The PrintVes catalogue includes PVC vinyl stickers for interior and exterior applications, along with floor graphics and various window films.

What to send with your enquiry

The most useful starting information is: what you are branding, where it will be used, the approximate size, the quantity, and whether you already have a finished file. If the design is not ready, PrintVes offers prepress, graphic design, corrections, adaptations and file preparation.

Next step

Describe the product, the surface and how it will be used. That way we can start from the real problem rather than an arbitrary material.
