Custom Paper Stickers – Versatile & Eco-Friendly
Custom paper stickers offer an affordable and eco-friendly option for product labels, event stickers, envelopes, and everyday branding.
Price starts from $0.30 per piece for large volume orders. Final pricing depends on size, material, printing, and quantity.
Economical, Recyclable Stickers for Indoor Use
Paper stickers are the economical, eco-friendlier choice for indoor and short-life applications — event stickers, envelope seals, promotional handouts, and product labels that do not face moisture. They cost less than vinyl, take ink beautifully for crisp color, and are recyclable, which matters to sustainability-minded brands.
The trade-off is durability: paper is not waterproof and is for indoor use, so it is the wrong choice for bottles or outdoor gear but the right one for a wine label, a cereal-box seal, or a wedding-favor sticker. We offer gloss, matte, and uncoated (writable) paper finishes to suit the look you want.
If you're comparing options, it's also worth looking at our eco-friendly sustainable sticker printing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Paper Stickers
No. Paper stickers are for indoor, dry applications — moisture will wrinkle or pulp them. If your sticker faces water, condensation, or the outdoors (bottles, bath products, vehicles), choose vinyl instead. Paper is ideal for envelopes, boxes, and dry-goods labels.
On uncoated or matte paper, yes — the surface takes ballpoint pen and marker legibly, which is handy for pricing, dating, or personalizing. Glossy coated paper resists ink, so choose uncoated or matte if writing on them matters.
Paper Stickers are produced from sustainable materials — recycled paper stock, FSC-certified paper, or eco-vinyl alternatives — with water-based inks where possible.
Paper-based Paper Stickers are recyclable along with the product packaging they're applied to. Plastic-based vinyl options are not currently recyclable.
Paper-based Paper Stickers are for indoor use only — they're not waterproof or UV-resistant. For outdoor applications, we recommend our vinyl range instead.
Paper Stickers use a water-based, non-toxic adhesive suitable for most paper, cardboard, and lightweight packaging surfaces without causing damage.
Paper Stickers are printed using high-resolution digital printing. Colors may appear slightly softer than on gloss vinyl due to the paper stock's natural texture.
Paper Stickers can be used on outer food packaging such as boxes and bags. They are not intended for direct food contact — confirm compliance for your application.
Standard paper Paper Stickers are not moisture-resistant. We offer a coated paper option with light moisture resistance — ideal for refrigerated product packaging.
Paper Stickers are available in any custom size or shape. Common sizes for product labels range from 1"×1" to 4"×6" for most packaging applications.
Yes. Paper Stickers can be cut to any custom shape using our computer-controlled die cutting equipment, regardless of the eco-material used.
The minimum order for Paper Stickers is 50 units. For eco-conscious brands ordering in bulk, pricing improves significantly at 250 and 500+ units.
