Quick answer: Stickers are printed pieces you hand out or stick on things yourself — logo stickers, bumper stickers, sticker sheets. Labels go on products and packaging, often on rolls for fast application. Decals are vinyl graphics applied to a surface like a window, wall or truck door.
Stickers: built to give away
Stickers are about your brand traveling. People put them on laptops, water bottles and car bumpers. Die-cut stickers are cut to the shape of your design; kiss-cut stickers stay on a backing sheet so you can fit several on one page.
See custom stickers.
Labels: built for products
Labels carry your product name, ingredients, barcodes or instructions. They come on rolls for larger runs and labeling machines, or on sheets for small batches applied by hand. If your product gets cold, wet or oily, pick a synthetic label with a laminate.
See custom labels.
Decals: built for surfaces
Decals turn a window, wall or vehicle into signage. Cut-vinyl decals have no background — just the letters or logo — so they look painted on. Printed decals can carry full color and photos.

What file should I send?
A vector file (AI, EPS, PDF or SVG) is ideal for all three. A high-resolution PNG works too. If your file is not ready to print, we can clean it up before you see a proof.
