- Quantity per design: Input the quantity you want per design - the system will automatically spread this equally, but you can adjust this manually if you want something else.

Material Options & Specifications
We offer several different materials for labels and wide format stickers and point of sale. You can view these and the specifications here:
Finish Options
We offer a range of finishes to protect your labels or add the look and feel you want. You can add a varnish which helps seal the ink or a laminate which provides greater protection from UV and chemicals.
- Varnish Options:Helps seal the label and offers some protection to scratching.
- Laminate Options:Provides strong protection from scratching, UV & chemicals and water.
Adhesive Options
You can choose between permanent or removeable depending on the material you choose. For clear vinyl you also have the option for front adhesive, so you place your sticker on the inside of a window with the design looking out.
Free White Ink Options
We print in full CMYK including white ink.
On our Clear Vinyl, Holographic, Foil Effect and Kraft materials you have the option to include white ink. This is required if your design includes white text or imagery.
For clear vinyl you should also opt for this if you want your design to stand out more. We do this by printing white ink behind your design or text first, this gives your design a solid base making colors bold, otherwise colours will be translucent.
When our design team are checking your artwork they will recommend what is best for your design.
How your labels are supplied - Rolls, sheets & individual kiss cut
- Rolls: All our materials can be supplied on rolls and this is the most popular and cost-effective option. If you are using a labeling machine, then we can set up the rolls to your specification.
- Sheets: These are provided on A4 sheets.
- Kiss Cut: Your custom shaped stickers are supplied individually on a square backing paper protecting the edge of the sticker and making them easier to peel.
- Die Cut: Your custom shaped stickers are supplied individually and are cut to the edge of your design without any border.
Minimum order value and quantities
We have a very low minimum order requirement based on the number of labels you need to order. The minimum quantity varies depending on the specification you choose and is clearly shown when you get a price. We have no minimum spend so if you can select it, you can buy it!

Colour Matching
All printers will print colours slightly differently even if you are using exactly the same artwork. If you need your labels to match previous labels or a specific colour then you will need to send us a physical sample after you have placed your order so when we come to print, we can compare and adjust as required.
You can alternatively provide the CMYK values of that colour and we will ensure your artwork matches, but there can still be a small variation when printed.
We can never guarantee to match a colour 100% but we can get very close!

Like most businesses today our customer reviews are important so we can see how well we are doing but also as it helps new customers make an informed judgement on our products and service.
We send out 2 emails, one after purchase inviting you to leave a review about the service you have received and then a final email 10 days later asking for a product review but do not offer any incentives.
We send out one email after each purchase inviting you to leave a review but do not offer any incentives.
This does mean we get fewer reviews than some of competitors, but we believe it is the integrity of the reviews which is more important.
