Choosing your Sticker

So you have come here looking for stickers in NZ and want to know what type of sticker is the right one for your needs? Have no fear, we have put together a simple guide to help you select what suits you best!

1.Presized Stickers

These stickers are presized to minimise waste and cost. These are amazing as product labels! They are available in a range of sizes, and come in outdoor, indoor (good for labels) and clear outdoor options. They are the best bang for your buck, and if you don’t need a custom shape then roll with these! They come in lots of 1000, and start at around $250.

2. Digital Print Stickers

These are printed stickers and can be cut to custom shapes.  There are no setup costs involved, and are the best option if you are looking for custom shapes (kiss-cut) and/or a small amount of stickers which are high quality and made to last.

3. Vinyl Die Cut Stickers (Decals)

These are stickers that are cut out of sheets of vinyl and applied with a backing/application tape.  The tape is carefully removed after application, exposing your custom die cut sticker for all the world to admire. They are like the lettering/logos you see on signs and windows. These are ideal for a professional finish, and are suitable for solid images, texts and logos. These are for the sticker connoisseur – they are harder to make and harder to apply, but have an amazing finish. If you snowboard, you will know all about these.

4. Screenprinted or Offset Printed Stickers or Bumper Stickers

These are the big boys – if you need a large number of custom stickers as a serious promo tool for your company or brand, then these are the ones for you. These are top quality, fully customisable stickers, from the vinyl type through to the finishing. These have a one-off setup cost and we store your film and artwork for future work. The more colors, the more expensive to set up and print so bear that in mind.
