Small brands live and die on packaging
Peckham has a strong mix of independent shops, studios, cafes and community groups. For a small maker, a sticker or label is often the cheapest way to make a plain box, bag or jar look like a brand. It's also one of the easiest items to get slightly wrong.
Pick the right shape
Round and square stickers are the workhorses of packaging and labels. A custom shape that follows your logo looks distinctive but costs a little more. Our sticker shapes guide helps you choose.
Paper or vinyl
Paper stickers suit dry, indoor packaging. Vinyl stickers cope with moisture, handling and outdoor use far better, which matters if they'll be on bottles, windows or things that get wet. Our guide to vinyl and paper stickers explains the difference.
Sizing for real products
Measure the surface you'll stick to, and check curves, seams and lids. A sticker that crosses a seam can lift. Order a small test run, apply a few and see how they look and hold before ordering a large quantity.
Design for the size
Small stickers can't carry much text. A strong mark, a name and one line is usually enough. Make sure the design extends past the cut line slightly (bleed) so there's no white edge after trimming.
Labels for bottles and jars
Bottles and jars often need a label that fits a specific area without wrinkling around curves. Tell us the container and the area you want to cover, and we can suggest a practical size and shape.
