Create Custom Labels That Distinguish Your Product or Service
Offer customers everything they need to know with well-designed custom labels. Showcasing your product benefits and essential information in a clear layout bring you one step closer to a first and repeat purchase with consumers. Find the right format, size, and finish that will ensure easy-to-read details and fast application of each label.
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.

How to Create Custom Labels
Choose a format that suits your quantity and application method.
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 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 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 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.
Use Our Online Design Tool or Download a Layout Template
Access our online design tool and create your label from scratch on your browser. Go to “Create Your Design Online” below the online calculator to load the tool.
You can also upload a ready-made design. If you have a preferred editing program, you can also download the layout templates from the “Templates” tab.

Custom Label Q&A
The printing time on the online calculator refers to the number of days to produce your order. You can estimate the transit time and expected arrival of your items by clicking on the “Shipping Cost and Delivery Date” link at the bottom of the calculator.
White premium sticker paper is best used for items that will be displayed indoors but not refrigerated. Clear, white, and silver metallic BOPP uses a paper film that protects the label from oil, chemicals, and water. BOPP is also able to withstand refrigeration. Textured paper is often used on gourmet food and wine labels for its elegant and distinct textured finish.
Need to write down notes and other information on your labels? Here is a list of writable materials for your labels.
- 70 lb. label matte can be written on with a permanent marker. This material is ideal for adding best-by dates by hand.
- 70 lb. label high-gloss UV has an extra smooth surface that is only writable with a permanent marker. We recommend letting the ink dry completely before handling to avoid smudges.
- Textured estate labels (white vellum, white laid, and cream laid) are writable when uncoated. Use both pens and permanent markers to personalize your labels.
- 4 mil. white vinyl high-gloss UV has a shiny surface that’s suitable for writing only with permanent markers. Make sure to have ample drying time before use.
White vinyl sticker paper is best for labels that will be used outdoors as this is UV resistant and can withstand other elements.
The 70 lb. label material is suited for items to be displayed indoors. Choose from a gloss, high gloss, or matte finish, depending on your design. Matte and gloss are both writable while the UV resistant high gloss is not.
If you need to label a large quantity of items, you can place the roll into a label dispenser for quick and easy application. Singles labels work better for promotional handouts.
Roll labels are slightly more expensive than the other label types. However, they become more economical when you order more. Additionally, roll labels are more efficient to use for high-volume packaging. They are easy to peel too and can be applied by machine to save you time.
We currently do not offer double-sided labels like the ones found on some shampoo bottles. However, you can print separate labels for the front and back of your product.

Some of our label materials can withstand heat (e.g., inside the dishwasher or microwave). White BOPP, clear BOPP, and white vinyl can be used for items that go in the microwave. Dishwasher-safe labels include all BOPP materials and white vinyl.
Our labels come with permanent adhesive that strengthens over time. The longevity of the adhesive depends on the temperature and surface texture. If it’s too hot, the adhesive will most likely lose its grip. Textured surfaces (i.e., with grooves or bumps) reduce the sticky bond from the labels. Make sure to apply labels on smooth, dry, and flat surfaces.
Yes, you can have your roll labels divided. Please call our Customer Service team at (888) 888-4211 to know more about the process and applicable charges.
