custom labels stickers

Fields that must be named before two replies can be compared
A sticker roll and a sheeted kiss-cut pack can share artwork and still be different converting jobs. Put each open choice on its own row. Alternative constructions are acceptable only after the buyer verifies the fields that change.
| Field | What to write | What blocks a comparison |
|---|---|---|
| Facestock | Paper, PP film, PE film or vinyl; caliper or gauge in mil or μm; finish | A catalog nickname without a face or a thickness |
| Adhesive | Named pressure sensitive adhesive; intended surface; removable, permanent or freezer | A generic "sticker glue" line with no surface |
| Die | Die line revision; kiss-cut or through-cut; waste matrix on or off | A marketing PDF treated as a locked tool |
| Rewind | Rewind specification, core ID in mm, roll OD limit, labels per roll | Sheeted stickers priced as if they were rolls, or the reverse |
| Flexographic printing or digital print; color count; varnish or laminate | Plate cost hidden inside a piece price on only one reply |
Check an open pair before you accept a substitute
Documents to request, not badges this site wears
- Facestock and adhesive data sheet for the quoted construction only.
- Die line and rewind specification in the same units used on the price line.
- Migration testing file when the sticker sits on a food pack; the file must name the lot.
- Proof type: drawdown, digital proof or press proof on the named face.
- Exclusions: plates, dies, freight and sample freight listed in the same currency.
Digital print versus flexographic printing is an open trade-off on custom labels stickers, not a site preference. High SKU counts and frequent artwork changes can reduce plate cost with digital print. Longer runs with a locked color count often keep flexographic printing, with plate fees listed outside the piece or roll price. Do not compare a digital mock with a flexo press proof as if they were the same sample path.
Before accepting an alternative construction, verify that facestock, adhesive, die and rewind still match the applicator or the pack surface. A cheaper film sticker is not automatically a substitute for a paper roll. No published discount percentage appears here. Use the option cards or file the sticker specification.
