Stickers & Labels

We’ve all used them and we all love them – stickers!  From stickers for our favourite band, to those for cars, fridges and laptops – stickers are everywhere. They convey a message, they show loyalty and they promote business. They are also cost-effective. Add sticker and labelling production to add value to your service offering.

The Science

Stickers and labels may look simple, but behind every high-quality result is the right ink technology. Eco-solvent, mild solvent, Waterbased UV , and UV inks all ensure vibrant colours, long-term durability, and the flexibility needed when graphics are stretched or applied to curved surfaces. Even unlaminated, these prints are tough — and for outdoor use, lamination can add an extra layer of protection.

Once printed, the media is cut into shape. With kiss-cutting, only the top layer of the vinyl is cut, leaving the backing intact — perfect for stickers that need to be peeled easily from the sheet. With contour cutting, the knife follows the exact printed outline of the design, allowing for individually cut stickers or labels. Both methods are fast, accurate, and ideal for keeping turnaround times short, from small creative runs to high-volume jobs.

The combination of durable inks and efficient cutting methods ensures that sticker and label production is not only reliable and versatile, but also supports more sustainable workflows thanks to modern ink technologies.

How You Can Benefit

There are both business and operational benefits to including stickers and labelling as part of your service:

Business

The sticker and labelling market is a fast-growing opportunity — spanning both standard and custom applications, from creative short runs to large-scale industrial jobs. Demand is strong thanks to the versatility of stickers and labels as quick, cost-effective tools for sales, branding, and communication.

For producers, the benefits are clear:

• Access to high-volume production

• Opportunities for repeat business and customer loyalty

• Multiple applications across industries

• Low entry cost — start small and scale up

Entry into this market doesn’t have to be expensive. An entry-level print & cut solution like the C641 makes it simple to get started, while eco-solvent / mild-solvent, UV Waterbased, and UV printers open the door to durable, flexible production for businesses of any size. These technologies allow one-off jobs, short runs, and long production series with equal efficiency.

Beyond standard applications, there is also strong growth in the industrial labelling sector. As manufacturers move toward durable and compliant solutions, demand is rising for labels that carry critical information — for example, control panels, electrical components, and safety messaging.

Operational

Sticker and label production needs to be flexible, efficient, and reliable. Whether for custom designs, short runs, or full production jobs, today’s print technologies deliver outstanding results.

• Vibrant colours with excellent resistance to scratches and fading

• Fast drying times to keep production moving

• Low odour inks with no harmful VOCs for a safer workplace or PFAS free with Waterbased UV inks

• Wide media compatibility with a huge choice of substrates

• Multiple applications — from one-offs to high-volume runs

Paired with a RIP, you can count on absolute colour accuracy and consistent quality. Success in this market depends not only on the right materials, but also on the right hardware: systems that allow you to print, print & cut, or just cut, depending on your workflow. This flexibility gives you the freedom to produce one-of-a-kind custom graphics as easily as long production runs.

Eco-Solvent / Mild-Solvent, Waterbased UV, and UV inks all play a role in delivering this flexibility. They combine durability with workplace safety when used under proper procedures — ensuring reliable, sustainable, and high-quality output across a wide range of applications.
