Stickers and Labels
Sticker Types
Regular (Glossy Finish)/ Kraft - No Laminate
These sticker types are recommended for labelling products that would not get in contact with moisture and water. While the ink is waterproof and would not smudge, the paper isn't, so there is a tendency that the sticker material will break down after too much exposure to any types of liquid.
These stickers on the other hand, are recommended for labelling round jars and bottles with a diameter of 2" and below. Because the material is quite thin (90 gsm) without the laminate, it adheres better and does not lift on the edges.
IMPORTANT! We cannot print white ink on kraft stickers.
Regular/ Kraft - Matte or Glossy Laminate
This sticker type is perfect if you'd like a cheaper alternative to waterproof vinyl as the top surface is water resistant.
Because of the laminate, the label gets thicker which makes it only suitable for flat surfaces as the adhesion can tend to lift on the edges when used on rounded jars. If your jar or bottle's diameter is below 2", and your budget can only allow a matte laminated regular or kraft sticker, we recommend that you place a sample order first to check if it would work with your packaging material.
The color payoff is generally better on stickers with glossy laminates. We also cannot print white ink on kraft stickers.
Vinyl - Matte or Glossy Laminate
This particular vinyl is recommended for cosmetics and skincare product labels as it is water, oil and scratch proof.
Because of the laminate, the label gets thicker which makes it only suitable for flat surfaces as the adhesion can tend to lift on the edges when used on rounded jars. If your jar or bottle's diameter is below 2", we recommend that you place a sample order first to check if it would work with your packaging material.
Based on experience though, we haven't had issues in using vinyl laminated labels on bottles like a 10ml roll on bottle or a 5ml essential oil bottle which are bottles with a diameter that's less than 2" as long as the bottles are clean. We recommend to use a microfiber cloth and alcohol on the bottle's surface to ensure that it is clean and has been well prepped for label application.
The color payoff is generally better on stickers with glossy laminates. Matte laminated vinyl also makes the label look a bit grainy, please see video above for your reference. Please also note that we cannot print white/ very light pastel colors on transparent vinyl. We recommend you place a sample order first to see if your design will show through.
Vinyl - Transparent with Matte or Glossy Laminate

Can I choose a different type of paper/ material?
We can only produce stickers using the materials listed above as of the moment.
I don't know the size of the sticker that I need but I know that I will be using a 10ml bottle, can you tell me what size I need and how many pieces will fit in one sheet?
Different bottles have different dimensions. To ensure that the sizing will be exactly how you want and need it, it would be best to provide us the size of the sticker you need in inches (length x width) instead of the bottle's volume capacity. Alternatively, if you want us to help you with sizing, feel free to have your bottle sent to our office so we can recommend a sticker size for you. Make sure to contact us through Viber (09293013431) first to give us a heads up.
I want the color of my sticker to be the exact same color as how I see it on my screen, can you do that?
Scanners, digital cameras, computer monitors and cellphone screens use red, green and blue (RGB) light to display color. Printers print with cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) ink, called process printing, instead of RGB light, and therefore produce a different range of color.
This is why even when all the correct steps are taken, there is a chance that the colors on the screen will not match the ones being printed. This is because of the way that colors are created on a screen and on print.
At TBP, we always do a test print to compare the digital file and the printed version before printing out large batches of product. Do note that these test prints will only be shown to the customer if (1) a test print has been requested or (2) if there is a color difference between the digital and printed version.
I have ordered stickers using different materials, should I expect the same color output?
Different materials will react with the ink differently, this is why the color output will not be consistent on all sticker types/ product (ex. print on canvas pouch vs. print on regular sticker, print on regular sticker vs. print on vinyl with matte laminate sticker). Additionally, the laminates will also affect the final output as the color payoff is generally better on stickers with glossy laminates.
Can you run a test print before mass production?
Yes we can. Make sure to opt in to this when placing an order through the order form. Do note that because test prints are done for the purpose of checking the color accuracy, this is only done using scrap materials and might not be printed in the actual size that you require.
I'm placing a repeat order, do I need to place an order through your form again?
Yes, to ensure that all information and files are correct, we require an order form to be filled out every time you need to place an order.
How long is your lead time for stickers?
Normally, it should only take 3-7 business days but there are certain months and seasons when it might take from 7 - 14 business days to produce the stickers, depending on the order quantity. If you need it sooner, please add your deadline on the order form, we will try to work things around for you. Our Customer Support Staff will be in touch if we can accommodate your request.
