While we ask for a credit card upfront, you won't be charged until UPS scans and processes your Ship label.
If you change your mind about a label, you can always cancel your order and void the label. To do this, click the red Cancel & Void link at the bottom of your shipping label detail page.
You can take labeled packages to any of the following locations:
- UPS Store
- UPS Customer Center
- An Authorized Shipping Outlet (which includes many shipping stores and office supply stores)
- UPS Access Point (which includes many popular retail stores)
If your package is smaller, you can also visit a UPS Drop Box. These are self-service locations for pre-labeled packages. Your nearest drop-off location can be found on the Find a Location page on UPS.com. Just enter your address or ZIP code, and click Find.
On the My Shipments page in Ship, you'll find a list of all the packages you've sent. To check a package, click on its order ID, then click the tracking number at the top of the page. This will redirect you to Easypost.com, where you can view real-time status updates.
You can also enter your tracking number on UPS.com's Tracking page or search for the tracking number on Google.
A UPS tracking number typically consists of 18 characters. It starts with "IZ" followed by a 6-character shipper number, a 2-digit service level indicator, and a unique 8-digit package identifier. For example: 1Z12345E1512345678.

Introducing fabric stickers: stickers cut from a different cloth
Here at Sticker Mule, we’re all about pushing the boundaries of what custom printing can do. From our fan-favorite [custom stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers) to our award-winning [Mule Sauce](https://www.stickermule.com/mule-sauce), we’ve always aimed to bring you products that stand out, spark joy, and get the job done. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil our latest innovation: fabric stickers—a first-of-its-kind creation that’s about to take your sticker game to a whole new level. ##What are fabric stickers?  Imagine the vibrant, full-color printing you love from Sticker Mule, but with a twist. Fabric stickers are printed on a silky, durable twill material that feels more like a premium patch than your typical sticker. They’re soft yet tough, pliable yet resistant to wear, and they bring a fun, unique texture that makes your designs pop in ways vinyl just can’t. Whether you’re slapping them on a laptop, water bottle, or even temporarily sticking them to your favorite hoodie, these stickers are built to stand out. Fabric stickers combine the ease of a sticker with the premium look and feel of a woven patch. They feature a permanent polyester adhesive that sticks strong to smooth, hard surfaces, giving you a versatile way to showcase your artwork, brand, or personality. Unlike fabric stickers from other companies, which are often printed on low-quality materials or use subpar printing methods, our stickers are of the highest quality, featuring the vivid colors and striking vibrancy you’ve come to expect from us. And just like all our products, these are crafted straight from our own factory in the United States—no cut-rate contractors involved. ##Why we made them  At Sticker Mule, we’re driven by a simple question: how can we make custom printing more exciting? Our customers—artists, businesses, and creators of all kinds—kept asking for something fresh, something that could bridge the gap between stickers and apparel-ready patches. We listened, we experimented, and after months of tinkering, fabric stickers were born. Early testers have been blown away. With 94% of customers saying that they would reorder them and a 4.9-out-of-5-star rating from initial reviews, the response has been nothing short of incredible. Here are just a few of the reviews our customers have left: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I took a chance on getting a few of these fabric stickers, not exactly knowing what I would be getting. Was I ever surprised! These stickers are almost like patches! Excellent quality. Vibrant colors. Top notch! - [P. Brian Richardson](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/1313645) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The same detail and quality of their regular stickers but with a unique twist! The fabric is very durable and feels great! - [Joe DeLorenzo](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/1314062) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I ordered these to try them out as a new offering and they're very cool. Very clear printing considering they are on fabric! - [Rob Roache](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/1313626) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A new product that will surprise you. Feels like fabric - acts like a sticker. Usual high quality and great customer service we have come to expect - [Jason Spinner](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/1312622) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These fabric stickers are awesome! Definitely different than what I've had in the past but the same Sticker Mule quality you'd expect. I wasn't entirely sure what a fabric sticker was, but now I need more of them. The colors are vibrant and the texture is great for a water bottle as it actually gives better grip. Highly recommended just like all the other products I've received from Sticker Mule. - [Justin Sowards](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/1312168) Read more [reviews for fabric stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/reviews/products/fabric-stickers) here. That’s the kind of feedback that gets us fired up to keep innovating. ##How to use fabric stickers  Fabric stickers are as versatile as they are unique. Here are just a few ways you can put them to work: Laptops & Gear: Add a tactile, eye-catching design to your tech or everyday carry items. - __Temporary Apparel Patches:__ Stick them on jackets, backpacks, or tees for a custom look that peels off when you’re ready for a change (note: they’re not machine-washable, so they’re best for temporary flair). - __Creative Crafts:__ Use them in scrapbooking, journaling, or DIY projects for a premium, textured touch. - __Brand Swag:__ Stand out at events or in customer orders with a sticker that feels like a keepsake. To order, it’s the same seamless Sticker Mule process you know and love: pick your size and quantity, upload your artwork, and review your proof shortly after checkout. We’ll tweak it until you’re 100% happy, then ship them out fast with free worldwide shipping. Turnaround?

As our CEO, Anthony Constantino, put it, “Fabric stickers are another Sticker Mule innovation and the beginning of our entrance into a range of fabric products.” We’re already dreaming up what’s next, from apparel accessories to entirely new fabric-based creations. This is just the first step. ##Get yours today Ready to try something totally new? Create your custom fabric stickers today.

How to make a seamless pattern in Adobe Illustrator
##Mastering Custom Patterns: Why the Manual Approach Wins In design, custom patterns are a powerful tool. They can turn everyday items into impactful brand experiences and are perfect for a wide range of custom printing projects. That’s why mastering them is so valuable. Interestingly, while Adobe Illustrator includes a built-in Pattern Tool, many experienced designers (myself included) prefer the manual approach. It might seem like taking the scenic route instead of the highway, but there's a good reason for it: manual pattern creation offers precise control and creative freedom that automated tools still can’t match. Even top pattern designers agree—the built-in tool isn’t quite there yet. If you’ve ever tried making your own pattern, you might have noticed an unwanted white border when testing it. That’s a clear sign the pattern isn’t seamless yet, meaning you’ll need to refine it. While achieving a 100% seamless pattern might seem tricky, it’s actually easier than you think. Let’s break it down step by step.  ##How to create a seamless pattern in Adobe Illustrator ###Step 1 - Draw a rectangle First, draw a rectangle of exactly 500 x 500 pixels. To do this, click the __Rectangle Tool (M)__ and click somewhere randomly to get the following dialog box. Enter these values and hit __OK__.  ###Step 2 - Draw the top section of your pattern Now draw the top section of your pattern and make sure to overlap the edges of the 500 x 500 pixels square.  ###Step 3 - Duplicating your pattern on the horizontal axis Go to __Window > Transform__. The X- and Y-axis are a very important part of designing patterns so make sure you remember them correctly. A well-known trick to remember them is using the phrase “*x to the left and y to the sky*”. So X is horizontal, Y is vertical. Select the elements you drew in the previous step, copy all elements (__⌘+C__ on Mac, __Ctrl+C__ on Windows) and __Paste in Front__ (__⌘+F__ on Mac, __Ctrl+F__ on Windows). Now add “__+500__” right __after__ the current Y value.  Hit __Enter__ and you’ll end up with a duplicated row that's positioned exactly 500 pixels beneath the original. This is a key part in getting it __100% seamless__.  ###Step 4 - Duplicating your pattern on the vertical axis Let’s repeat these steps for left and right as well. Create a row of overlapping elements on the left, duplicate them and instead of using the Y-axis, now add “__+500__” on the X-axis.  ###Step 5 - Fill in the middle That was already the hardest part of this process! Now __fill up the center__. This already starts to look like a pattern, doesn’t it?  ###Step 6 - Place a transparent square behind the elements Almost there. One thing Illustrator really needs before it can be turned into a pattern is a transparent square placed behind the elements that tells Illustrator what part will be the pattern. Because we already have this square in place, remove any color or stroke and go to __Object > Arrange > Send to Back__ to place it behind the pattern elements. Now select everything and drag it into your Swatches panel (__Window > Swatches__).  ###Step 7 - Test it! __You did it!__ Now let’s do a quick test to make sure everything is correct and the transitions are seamless. This also gives you a sense of how your pattern looks and if certain elements need some tweaking. Closing your eyes a bit can help to see if there’s any changes in density that needs to be fixed. In the example below, you’ll notice that there’s a horizontal line visible that has a bit more volume than the rest. Even the slightest adjustments can make a huge difference so keep editing until you’re completely happy with your pattern and you’re good to go!  ###Conclusion - Creating your own custom patterns Once you know the trick of moving objects exactly by 500 pixels, creating patterns is way easier than you probably expected, right? With trial and error, you'll develop an intuition for what makes patterns work. And don’t forget to regularly zoom out during the process; this lets you spot elements that are standing out too much and bring things out of balance. Patterns can be used as a brand element for all types of applications. Our [packaging tape](https://www.stickermule.com/products/packaging-tape), for example, is a wonderful way to show off your pattern while other options such as [poly mailers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/poly-mailers), wrapping paper, [labels](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-labels) and [custom stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/custom-stickers) are perfectly suited for a pattern as well. So whether you’re creating a pattern for personal or commercial use, you now have the method in place to get them 100% seamless in no time. Good luck!
