What's the difference between economy stickers and standard stickers?

Economy stickers are the budget-friendly version of our standard stickers. While they still offer full colour printing and custom shapes and sizing, economy stickers use a lower-cost printing method that makes them more affordable. That said, this also creates some differences between economy stickers and standard stickers.

If you're having trouble deciding between economy stickers or standard stickers, here's a quick list on what each is best suited for:

Economy stickers:

• Perfect if you need large quantities at a low price.
• Ideal if you're creating stickers for short-term indoor use, like packaging or giveaways.
• Great if you want affordable branding for limited-time campaigns or promotions.
• Excellent for handing out to kids, students, or customers where longevity isn't critical.
• Terrific if you want something fun, fast, and budget-friendly.

Standard stickers:

• Most suitable if you need long-lasting durability, especially for outdoor use, frequent handling, or permanent placements like water bottles, laptops, helmets, bikes, boats, or cars.
• Excellent if you want stickers that are waterproof, weatherproof, and UV resistant.
• Perfect if you're selling or gifting stickers as part of a premium product
• Ideal if you want the absolute best performance Sticker Mule can offer.
• Best option if you want to project the finest possible image for your brand.
• Preferred if you need extra thickness and a laminated finish for a more rugged feel.

And, here's a quick side-by-side to help you compare economy stickers to our standard stickers.
