8 Tips for Printing Great Stickers From Home

8 Tips for Printing Great Stickers From Home

Stickers are among the most versatile and cost-effective ways to get the word out. You’ve seen it yourself: well-placed stickers on cars, signs, door jambs, or a dive bar bathroom stall can get more eyes than online PPC ads. As with most print media, stickers offer the added benefit of having a longer shelf life for a low one-time cost. That bumper sticker on the back of your car won’t incur a monthly fee and will be sending the message until you peel it off or the print fades.

Stickers vs Labels: What’s the Difference? Stickers mostly have graphics and labels offer information like an address, logo, or phone number for example. For the purpose of this article, since the process for printing stickers and labels are quite similar, we’ll use stickers and labels interchangeably. Without further ado, let’s jump right into it – we’ve broken everything down into three easy sections:


How can I print my own stickers?

1. FIRST, PAPER.

First, you need to think about the proper medium to print your stickers on. Stickers are commonly printed on either paper or vinyl. Knowing the differences between them will help ensure you get the results you want.

Note: Did you know that some label papers are handwrite only?

Paper labels. These are the simplest and cheapest form of stickers. Paper labels are also great for vinyl record sleeves, personalizing name tags, creating instant photo stickers, and dozens of other creative ideas. Not sure what sticker paper to buy? You can choose between pre-cut labels (ie. Avery labels) and whole sheets of sticker paper (like our LD Photo Sticker Paper). Both are easy to use when printing stickers from home. Avery has pre-cut stickers if you need:

These pre-cut labels are great for jars and bottles and give personality to homemade goods.  If you do not want a white border around your stickers, clear glossy sticker paper is your best option.  Clear sticker paper is great for printing transparent stickers and looks great on windows, clear bottles and product labels.

If you prefer cutting the stickers yourself, opt for whole sheets of sticker paper.  

With whole sheets of sticker paper, it pays to start thinking about how you’re going to cut your stickers. If all you need is a straightforward rectangular or square sticker, a normal cutter should work. However, if you’re thinking about something with more detail, consider a Cricut Machine. Remember to leave enough room in between stickers when designing your sticker template.

If you need water-resistant sticker labels: In most instances, printable paper labels are not water- or weatherproof, and therefore won’t hold up well to the elements. If you need water-resistant stickers, look for matte label paper AND be sure to use a printer that uses pigment ink (and no it’s not a good idea to use pigment ink on a dye ink printer). Pigment ink is widely known for it’s archival properties. Pigment-based ink sticks to paper better than dye-based ink which makes it more water-resistant and fade-resistant.    You can read more about the differences between dye and pigment in our Paper and Ink article

Once you’ve printed out your stickers, the best way to protect your stickers from water or direct sunlight is by laminating them.  There are a couple ways to do this, you can either buying clear laminating sheets, which is a clear plastic film that lays on top of the sticker, or use a thermal laminating machine, which is more convenient if you are printing in bulk.  If you are on a budget, go the sheet route – we recommend buying a clear laminating sheet that is slightly bigger than the sheet of paper you printed your stickers on because it’s easier to work with.  So if you printed out your stickers on a piece of 8.5″ x 11″ paper, look for a laminating sheet that is 9″x 12″.  To use the laminating sheet, just peel it off, place the sticky side face up and lay your stickers on top.  Then use a squeegee, ruler or credit card to apply pressure to the back of the sticker sheet (adhesive side) to remove any air bubbles.  Then just cut out your stickers, peel off the sticky backing and you are all set, now your stickers are super durable and water-resistant!

Can you print stickers with a laser printer? Certainly! Just be sure to get the right type of sticker paper for the job. Using an inkjet label paper on laser can melt and ooze the adhesive onto your laser printer and cause irreversible damages.

Make sure you use inkjet sticker paper for inkjet printers and laser sticker paper for laser printers. These are not interchangeable. Inkjet sticker paper melts when you use it on a laser printer. If you want to use your laser printer to print stickers, make sure you get the appropriate laser-friendly  sticker paper.

Vinyl stickers. Inkjet printable vinyl paper offers an affordable solution for creating vinyl stickers from home and is the most durable of the sticker paper options out there. Vinyl stickers are great for everything from production labels, bumper stickers, laptop stickers, water bottle stickers, promotional stickers and more. Home printed vinyl stickers can be waterproofed using laminate and clear coat spray paint like Krylon or Mod Podge, making them stand up to the outdoors better than unfinished paper labels. However, they may fade quicker than many professionally printed vinyl stickers due to the longevity of the ink. Most vinyl adhesive papers will give you information on their intended use as part of the product description. There are also several great tutorials online to make your own vinyl stickers from home or office, but the steps are pretty similar to printing on regular sticker paper.

What about decals? Decals are designed to be used outdoors and have a permanent adhesive. One major thing that divides the two is the transfer process each uses. Stickers are peeled away from a waxy paper backing and applied, whereas decals are transferred onto surfaces directly (and the backing is then removed). If you want to have die-cut script lettering with your brand applied to your windshield, a decal is what you’re looking for. For more on the benefits decals offer, check out this article from WebSticker. You can also print decals from home but it’s a more tedious process. Wikihow has a basic list of steps if you want to try it out.

Note: When deciding which paper to use, you need to think about whether or not it’s compatible with your printer. Some printers only take specific kinds of paper so be sure to check your printer’s manual before spending on anything.


2. SECOND, PRINTER.

What is the best printer for printing stickers?

Do you have the right printer for the job? It depends on your sticker’s design but usually a 4-color inkjet printer with a 1200 dpi print resolution will more than suffice. In the less likely event that your sticker design requires dynamic color ranges and requires more tonal variation, look for a printer with no less than 6 cartridges. Here are some of  the best printers for stickers.

Best Budget Inkjet Printer

Canon® PIXMA® TR8620 – Buy on Amazon

Canon’s PIXMA TS6220 offers vibrant color prints at an incredibly low operating cost and is a great entry-level machine for any small business owner or amateur photographer.  The printer uses five separate ink cartridges, sold in both a standard and a high yield, or XL, size. Canon offers their high yield cartridges ranging from $19.99-$24.99* apiece, but you can get a reputable compatible from LD Products for as lows as $11.99.  Printing a range of sticker types and sizes from a tablet or smartphone is quick and convenient with it’s easy to use wireless connectivity.

HP® Envy® 6055 – Buy on Amazon

The Envy 6055 is a very affordable printer that can produce the stickers you need at the price you want. You can easily print anything straight from your mobile device with this wireless printer (and many more, being that it’s a multi-function printer). Unlike the Canon PIXMA TR8620, the Envy 6055 only has two cartridges: black and tricolor, offered in a standard yield and high yield size.  Print more pages for less with LD InkPods replacement ink cartridges from LD Products, available here for a fraction of the HP price!

Medium Range Inkjet Printer

Canon® PIXMA® Pro-200 – Buy on Amazon

Canon’s Pixma Pro-200 series is considerably more expensive than the previously mentioned Pixma printer, but for the price, you get more advanced features and even better print results.  Its 8 dye-based ink cartridges offer an expanded color gamut, giving your stickers a rich range of color and fine grained detail.  A black, gray and light gray cartridge work together to produce high quality monochrome prints and a built-in Chroma Optimizer maintains their natural color.   The Pro-200 supports wide format prints up to a 13”x19” print size and is compatible with a ride range of paper types. Canon sells each CLI-65 cartridge for $13.99.  Affordable compatible versions of the CLI-65 will be available from LD Products soon!

Professional Grade Inkjet Printer

Epson® SureColor® P600- Buy on Amazon

The SureColor P600 offers incredible print results and a generous page yield, perfect for creating professional grade stickers and photos. The initial price point and operating costs are expensive, but the trade-off in quality may be worth it for your business.  Each Epson UltraChrome HD pigment ink cartridge goes for around sixty dollars apiece.  Compatible with a range of media sizes, including 13”x19” wide borderless photos, this printer should be a welcome addition to any creative’s workspace.  Save money with LD-brand compatible cartridges for your Epson SureColor printer, available for just $16.99 each.

Just to reiterate what we mentioned earlier, make sure your paper is compatible with your printer. Do not use inkjet sticker paper on your laser printer. The results can be disastrous and can even result in a broken laser printer.


3. THIRD, THE PROCESS.

You can create your sticker design using whatever application or image editing software you’re familiar with. But like anything you attempt to do yourself, sticker printing can get costly if you don’t do it right the first few times. To help avoid this, here are a few very important things you should remember.

Tip #1: Color match. The accuracy of your colors will rely heavily on the print process you selection. CMYK (cyan, magenta yellow and black) is most commonly used for home printing and budget-friendly professional presses. This process involves layering color ink in dots until it creates the desired color on the page. For example, to make green, small dots of cyan are sprayed on the page and then dots of yellow.  Nearly all home and office printers use CMYK processing, and even professional-grade photo printers use a similar concept (though with far more ink color diversity). CMYK processing will give you good, color accurate results at a reasonable price.

A second option for vinyl stickers is Pantone® color. Pantone is a superior option for total color correctness and consistency, especially for stickers that involve a large area of solid color. While upwards of 10 percent of CMYK tones can be lost, Pantone is as close to accurate from screen to sticker as you can get. Not surprisingly, it can also come with a premium price tag for custom designs, and really isn’t something you can easily produce on your own. You wouldn’t use Pantone for, say, custom name tags at a company meet and greet, for example.  If professional level color is what your after, it’s definitely worth considering, more than 10 million designers and producers around the globe use Pantone to help them create color accurate products.

Tip #2: Choosing the right colors. Lighter color values don’t always translate well using the CMYK process. In many instances, colors on the lightest 10 percent of the spectrum don’t translate at all. What this means is the subtle yellow or pink shading on your sticker may just look white to the casual observer—a look that can wash out your design. Similarly, designs that incorporate a lot of black will vary in effect depending on what color balances make up the black tone in the design. In other words, the colors that combine to create your black tone on your screen will determine what ratios of black and color ink go onto the page. The wrong design choices can result in tinted black hues or color casts. StickerRobot wrote brief and invaluable rundown on how to get both light and dark colors right the first time you print.

Tip #3: Permanence. Not all stickers are designed to last forever. Differences in ink, print process, and paper will result in differences in longevity, so it’s wise to confirm that you’re using the right materials (or ordering the right type of stickers from the press). Few things are more unfortunate for your brand than investing in a run of vinyl bumper stickers that peel and fade in less than a year, leaving unsightly remnants behind on your car. Not every sticker you make will need to stand up to the test of time, and not every sticker will have to face rain and sun fading. But if that’s your intention be sure to do your homework on your supply choices.

Tip #4: Die cutting. Shaping your stickers creates a strong visual effect that emphasizes your design elements. Die cutting is the quickest and easiest way to custom cut your stickers or decals to size. Professional presses often feature die cutting as an option for sticker printing making it quick and easy, but you can also choose to do it yourself with the help of a laser cutter. Some other considerations to keep in mind when printing from home:

Tip #5: Break up large areas of color. Printing consistent solid color over big areas isn’t easy (or cheap, for that matter). Pantone will print cleaner and more solid color but it does cost more than standard CMYK printing. Plus, you can’t really do it from home. Another solution is to avoid designing stickers with big areas of solid color.

Tip #6: Select best print quality. Nearly every print driver features multiple degrees of print quality, designed to customize your print speed and the amount of ink used. When you’re printing high-quality stickers, you’ll want to switch to the best quality print mode. This will take longer than standard or draft mode printing, but the results will be much better.  You can change the settings in the printer properties section of your printer menu and while you are at it,  you will also want to select the correct type of paper or media.  For example, on our Canon PIXMA TR8620, we changed the print quality setting from “standard” to “high” and selected the “glossy photo paper” setting for printing with our LD sticker paper.  If you see a couple of glossy printer settings like in the screenshot below, the number just corresponds with the thickness of the paper.  The larger the number, the thicker the paper.  After you are done printing, give your stickers around 15-20 minutes to dry before you start cutting them out or applying them to anything.  This allows time for the ink to settle into the paper and reduces the chances of smearing.

Tip #7: Ink cartridges. Always make sure your ink supplies are well stocked before printing out stickers. When one color or another is running low, it can cause your colors to come out wrong. And if you’re printing a number of stickers, running out of ink can lead to an untimely trip to the store to buy more. Yes, ink is expensive, but you can save a lot by purchasing compatible cartridges from reputable retailers. These cartridges are often made from the same component pieces as brand name cartridges, but custom refilled and tested to ensure great results. Plus, they cost as much as forty-to-fifty percent less than brand name ink.

Tip #8: Check for paper compatibility. Different printer models have limits on the thickness and proportions of the paper they print. This is especially true of compact laser printers, whose internal workings don’t work well with thicker papers. But chances are, if you’re thinking of printing stickers, you’re probably using an inkjet printer. Inkjet printers use either dye or pigment based ink and it would help to know what paper types work best with one over the other as this can also make a great difference in your overall print output. For instance our LD Glossy Sticker Paper–just like most gloss coated media–works great with dye-based ink. Once you know where to start, getting the results you want from your sticker or decal campaign is easy. Stickers are an often overlooked way to get the most bang for your marketing buck. Whether you’re making stickers on your own for an office event or doing a full professional print run as part a packaging giveaway, taking the time to make sure your design and supplies are right for the job will help ensure your happiness with the results.

How to Print on Avery Pre-Cut Inkjet Sticker Labels

  1. Prepare your template. Avery has free downloadable templates in Microsoft Word, Adobe programs, and Google Docs formats. All you need to do is download the right template for your Avery product and make sure your design fits the template.
  2. When your template is ready, the next thing you should do is print it on a blank piece of paper. Line it up with a sheet of Avery pre-cut stickers to check if the placement of your design is aligned with the labels. Make sure to fix the positioning before printing on the Avery pre-cut sticker sheets.
  3. Load sticker paper onto your printer. Check with your printer manual if it has any special instructions for loading sticker paper.
  4. Make sure the paper width lever doesn’t touch the edges of the paper so it doesn’t buckle.
  5. Print your finalized templates.
  6. Let the ink dry before removing the stickers from the sheet.
  7. Don’t print on the same sheet a second time  as this might cause your printer to jam.

Sticker printing can seem like an intimidating task but once you’re familiar with the process and know what to look out for, you can then focus on expanding the creative aspect of your design–not the other way around. Familiarizing yourself with the technicalities of sticker printing first can save you frustration AND a lot of money.

      https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W4H63S?psc=1

      There are more options out there but make sure to watch out for vinyl sticker paper that only works with laser printers.

    • Thank you so much for posting the link to the stickers. You’re; awesome!!!

    • I need to make labels or stickers for candle glass jars.Need help in designing which LaserJet to purchase??? Help.

    • the HP ENVY 7155 is TERRIBLE with color printing. Streaks VERY BADLY 🙁

  • Thanks for the tips for making stickers. I need to make some labels, and I have been looking for information online for how to do it at home. I like that you mentioned that vinyl stickers will stand up better to the weather if they are outside. I want my labels to be durable, so I will definitely keep this in mind, thanks for sharing!

  • I’m looking to diy personalized sticker on cups mugs, what would u suggest as printer n paper

  • I got the Canon Pixma printer and a good quality of semi glossy sticker paper and I still cant get
    the colors when I print
    black is the only color im dealing with but the outcome is grayish poorly inked sticker
    i always get a message box that says “ColorSync color matching may produce different results than printer color management. Either Photoshop color management or printer color management is recommended.”
    it’s been weeks and I still didnt find the problem and the solution

    • It could be a number of different things but the first thing that comes to mind is you probably need to configure your settings for black to be pure black which is 0% cyan, 0% magenta, 0% yellow, and 100% black. It may be that your current settings for black is for rich black which is 100% cyan, 100% magenta, 100% yellow, and 100% black. Here’s an article if you want more info: https://www.printfirm.com/blog/when-to-use-plain-vs-rich-black-in-print-design/

      Best of luck!

    • it helps if you install an icc color profile to associate with your printer then be sure you tik the “let printer manage colors” box in the printer property window …..do this and make sure you are printing on the correct side of the sticker paper sounds stupid but i did it 15 years ago so it happensb

  • I am looking to do some vinyl wraps for electronics such as phones and tablets. I would like to do this at a professional grade, Is the Canon PIXMA pro-100 right for this particular thing?

  • Are vinyl lables ok to be printed on inkjet printer not laser? Im wanting to use for essential oil products

    • Vinyl labels only work with inkjet printers. Laser printers will melt the coating on your labels and possibly damage the printer as well.

  • Hi There

    Thank you for the informative post. I recently came across a problem with my vinyl labels. I save my work as an png and jpeg in cmyk and rgb and hand it over to my printers however the font comes out raised and colour can be scratched off with just my nails. Im really frustrated and cant understand why this is happening maybe you could help
    thank you

  • I want to make reusable labels that I can print onto and stick like vinyl to vinyl (colorforms) onto another larger foam core backed sign. What can I use?

    • I’m not sure how big or small you need the labels to be, but the only reusable labels I’ve seen are small, I haven’t seen big sized reusable labels yet. In the case of vinyl decals, it may be possible to remove them but re-applying them somewhere else successfully is not guaranteed due to the nature of the adhesive. If you small reusable labels is what you need, you can easily find reusable Avery labels online. I’m sorry if I wasn’t able to help very much! Good luck!

  • I am wanting to print my own labels to use for my candles. I am using clear polyester labels. The problem I have run into when printing on my inkjet printer is that the color smears. Is there a different printer that would not cause this problem? Maybe a color laser would work better?

  • I want my bumper stickers to have a holographic finish on the front. Are there ways to achieve this without having to custom order them from another website?

  • Does the vinyl sticker used in silk screen work here? Does a label made from these materials work for bikes also?

  • Hi:
    Thank you for the post. I want to make photo stickers to put on pages in my child’s baby book. So I’m looking for archival-quality photo paper that also has adhesive on the back. We have an inkjet printer. Is there a particular paper that you would recommend for this project?

    • Hi Lyndsay! If the photos will be stored away in a room temperature unlit place, there may not be a real need to print archival quality images. Normal photos printed with dye ink last at least 100 years, probably longer if its kept away in storage. However, if you still prefer archival quality photos, use a printer with pigment-based ink and print on matte sticker paper. This combination tends to render longer lasting prints. I hope this helps.

  • Hey! What bout transparent vinyl? .. inkjet or laser, once you print on it and stick it on something the ink/toner is still transparent and the sticker loses opacity. Any idea how to solve this?

  • would the epson 1430 be a good printer? Also, my interest is in making vinyl decals and do I need to use special ink? Last question is should I use some type of clear coat over the ink so when I use my transfer paper the ink will not stick and the ink will have a longer life?

    Matt

  • Hi,
    I am looking at making printed vinyl self adhesive labels for my baby’s bottles, They have to be waterproof and resist high temperatures in the dishwasher and the microwave when sterilizing. Is there a specific extra durable vinyl and ink I need to use? thank you so much for the informative post!

  • Hi, I am wanting to start a small business that I can do in my spare time and would like to start printing decals, nothing bigger than say an A3 size.
    What products would you suggest I use? I would want them to be water proof.
    Also do you know of any good articles (for dummies) that I might find in relation to this? Thanks

  • Hi. Are vynyl stickers ok for outdoors or if you are sticking on wood?

  • Hey Anna, I’ve used the LP glossy photo with sticker back on a offset press in the past with great success. The past couple of times there has been a white film residue that comes off the stock and sticks to the blanket. I can’t get more than 50 “good” ones before I have to wipe it all off and start over. Never had this problem a couple years ago. Did they change the coating on these? What gives?

    • Hey Mark! I’m sorry about that — let me ask the supplier if they changed anything on the stickers and see about getting you a replacement.

  • Hi. I have an Espon xp 15000 (it replaced the artisan 1430). I am looking for the best photo quality printable vinyl for labels/stickers. I am needing them to be durable so I’m guessing vinyl is the way to go. What would be the best product for my printer and needs?
    Thanks

    • Angie…just got one today for similar use…scrapbooker here! I’d love to know what your experience has been. Hopefully we can connect!

  • HELLO ANNA
    I a need to print water proof labels for my Kombucha bottles which material/ printer do you suggest

  • I have an inkjet printer and would like to print my own sticker for the outside body of my car, so need a waterproof no fade, could anyone recommend which would be the best medium to use.

  • Anna: I have a laser printer and only need to print B/W on sticker paper. What paper do you recommend?

  • Where can I buy high quality vinyl sticker paper I can find the cheap stuff all over but I want the better paper

  • How would I print a static cling (reverse image) to put on the inside of a window.

  • I am wanting to print labels for clothing and kids lunches boxes etc. What is the best type of printer to invest in?

    • Hi Carmen! You can print labels on either an inkjet or laser printer. Just make sure that the paper media you get is compatible with the printer, for instance, don’t use labels meant for inkjet printers on laser printers. If image quality doesn’t matter as much you can save more with laser printers. Inkjet printers sometimes use pigment-based ink which is more fade and water resistant so your prints could last longer — another thing to consider if this is a criteria that matters to you.

  • HI, I am looking for a printer that will reliably print on clear gloss stickers, we currently use the clear A4 sheet from Abbotts, I don’t know if there is a better quality clear sheet but our current printer is being a real pain in the rear, it is a laser and it leaves small sections of lumpy print that falls off as soon as you touch it or it will print small sections of the image under the printed image where it would print the next image if you were to do extras.

  • I’m so confused. I’ve tried out both a new laser printer and a new inkjet. For my product labels, I am using only black but the inkjet causes them to look blah……grayish and dull. The laser very black. I use kraft labels. What’s going on? I was thinking I had the settings wrong in photoshop but why then is the black super black off the laser printer? My old inkjet was blasting through the colored ink (why if I print most documents black/draft???) but the black is barely going down. Omg I’m in printer hell. Thoughts? Please!?! Thank you!!!
