Ordering the perfect stickers for your food products, cosmetic jars, digital applications, or even durable bumper stickers requires careful consideration. At Presspoint, a New Zealand company renowned for our quality and consistency in small to medium production runs, we want to ensure your sticker experience is seamless and successful. Here are five essential tools and resources to think about before placing your order:

1. Your Artwork (High-Resolution is Key!): This might seem obvious, but the quality of your final stickers is directly tied to the quality of the artwork you provide. Ensure your design is high-resolution (300 DPI or higher) to avoid pixelation and blurry prints. Vector files (like AI or EPS) are ideal for scalability without loss of quality, especially for logos and text. Double-check for any typos or design errors before submitting!

2. Dimensions and Shape: Carefully consider the size and shape of your stickers. For food labels and cosmetic jar labels, ensure they fit perfectly on your packaging without being too large or too small. For bumper stickers or digital stickers, think about the intended placement and how the size and shape will impact their visibility and aesthetic appeal. Having the exact dimensions in mind will help us provide an accurate quote and ensure the final product meets your needs.

3. Material and Finish: The material and finish of your stickers play a significant role in their durability and overall look and feel. For food labels, you might consider moisture-resistant materials. For cosmetic jar labels, resistance to oils and chemicals could be important. Bumper stickers need to withstand outdoor elements. Consider finishes like glossy, matte, or a textured laminate to enhance the visual appeal and provide added protection. We can provide guidance on the best options for your specific application.

4. Application Surface: The type of surface you’ll be applying your stickers to is another crucial factor. Is it a smooth glass jar, a curved plastic container, a rough bumper, or a digital screen? Knowing the application surface helps us recommend the most suitable adhesive for a strong and lasting bond. Different adhesives have varying levels of tackiness and are designed for different surfaces.

5. Quantity and Budget: While Presspoint excels in small to medium runs, having a clear idea of the quantity you need and your budget will help us find the most cost-effective solution for you. Consider your current needs as well as potential future requirements. Ordering slightly more than you currently need can sometimes lead to better per-unit pricing.

By considering these five essential tools and resources – your artwork, dimensions and shape, material and finish, application surface, and quantity and budget – you’ll be well-prepared to place a successful sticker order with Presspoint. We’re here in New Zealand to help you achieve high-quality, consistent stickers that perfectly represent your brand. Contact us today to discuss your project!
