Jan 02, 1970
Ready to turn your bold ideas into attention-grabbing, stick-anywhere magic? Whether you’re promoting your brand, decorating your space, or making memorable giveaways, custom stickers are a fun, affordable, and powerful way to express yourself.
At PRINTBOX LONDON, we help you turn your vision into print—fast, affordably, and with that pro-level polish. Let’s jump into our top tips for designing custom stickers that actually get noticed (and loved)!
1. Start with a Strong Design
It all begins with the art. Whether you’re creating a slick brand logo or a funky, fun illustration—make sure your sticker design is bold, clean, and high-res.
Design Tips:
- Keep it simple – Too much detail can get lost. Prioritize strong shapes and clear text.
- Use high-resolution images – Always design at 300 DPI to avoid pixelated prints.
- Use contrast – Make your colors and elements pop against the background.
2. Think Beyond Circles and Squares
Why stick to basic shapes when you can go custom? Die-cut stickers (cut to the exact shape of your design) help your stickers stand out—literally.
Creative Shape Ideas:
- ⭐ Custom cuts based on your logo or artwork
- Vary the size: large for laptops, smaller for phones, notebooks, or packaging
- Mix and match for a fun sticker pack
At Printbox London, we offer full shape customization—your ideas, your way.
3. Choose the Right Finish
The finish you choose completely changes your sticker’s vibe. Luckily, we’ve got options to match your style.
- Glossy – Great for bright, colorful designs that need to pop
- Matte – Sleek, elegant, and perfect for premium branding
- Clear – Ideal for a clean, modern look on windows, bottles, or packaging
All of our materials are high quality and made to stick around—rain or shine.
4. Know Your Audience
Your sticker should connect with your people. Think about who you’re designing for and tailor your style, tone, and visuals to suit them.
Quick Tip: Share a draft design with friends or your audience before printing. A little feedback can go a long way!
5. Keep It On-Brand
If you’re printing for your biz, your stickers should reflect your brand personality.
✔️ Include your logo
✔️ Use brand colors and fonts
✔️ Add your website, tagline, or a call-to-action
