FAQs

We start every new project with a consultation and discovery call to align and advise. Once your team has decided on the packaging type, our team of designers can mock up sample designs, or you can provide us with your approved artwork.

Next, we’ll create the first articles or digital proofs to ensure your packaging is just as you expect.

Finally, we will run production, take care of manufacturing, and manage all shipping and logistics. If you need our team to store your products, we can warehouse them at our facility as well.

It depends on the type of packaging. For custom packaging projects, we typically require 100+ per order. Contact us directly with questions about your specific project.

There are usually tooling costs associated with the first order and no additional fees for tooling on repeats. These tooling costs are for cutting dies and printing plates, which are one-time fees.

It does! Our team will work with you in the consultation phase to detail what options are available to you and provide recommendations based on how you would like your finished product to look. We have customers across every industry and will share our expert insights on what works best.

There are quite a few factors to consider when deciding on the material for your custom business labels. You’ll want to consider your substrate first and foremost. Then, there are considerations like storage temperature, longevity, and types of adhesives. There’s a lot to think about. Trust the experts at STiCKi to advise on industry and application best practices—we’ll be sure to get you the perfect material for your job.

Whatever you would like! Our team will work with you during the consulting phase to discuss your requirements and provide solutions. Our breadth of equipment allows us to create virtually any shape you like. As fun and amazing as that is, we also want to ensure your label is practical and fits your specific application.

Yes, we can! Some customers bring their beautifully designed art to us, and others want our team of designers to come up with the concepts. Either way, we’re here to help! We’ll work within your brand guidelines and vision to generate designs that properly showcase your products.

We can customize the final label with your desired finish. Whether you’re looking for UV coatings, varnishes, laminates, soft touch, or any other finish, we can do it. Give our team some details about your project, and we’ll be sure to offer our advice.

It’s best to choose a commercial printing business with an established history, positive reviews, and high-quality results. STiCKi has all these qualities and more.

Digital, or direct-to-press printing, is best for short-run print jobs. The state-of-the-art technology requires no plates or setup, making it quick and easy.

Offset printing is the most traditional form of printing and is best for long-run printing. This form of printing requires plates and additional setup, making it not well-suited for quick jobs.

Commercial printing is best done with high-resolution PDF files, but there’s more to it. To ensure the file is ready to print in high resolution with our expert services, you’ll need to confirm the document’s size, set colors to CMYK, include bleeds, and more. Our team will work with you to spot-check your art before production to make sure your print comes out perfectly.

“Bleed” is print industry terminology for when the print area goes past the final trim line of the page and “bleeds” off the edge of the page. We recommend adding 1/8 inch to all sides of the page when including bleed.

Everything we do is fully customizable, and STiCKi has the machinery to support any type of finishing. We offer foil, spot UV, embossing, lamination, and so much more. Contact our team with any out-of-the-box requests, and we’ll make it happen.

It depends on the type of display and whether it’s permanent or semi-permanent. The typical range is anything from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the type and complexity of what we’re building.

STiCKiPad, made by STiCKi, is our proprietary brand of high-strength, industrial, and customized sticky notes.

You may sometimes hear companies refer to warehouse tags as inventory tags (and vice versa). The main purpose of these tags is to track or otherwise manage items in a warehouse. Some warehouses also use these tags to identify specific product categories within their large warehouses.

Inventory tags contain important identifying information about an item. This information typically includes item-specific SKUs or other unique identifiers.

Industrial-strength sticky notes typically contain stronger materials and adhesives, ensuring a strong hold.

The main reasons are cost-effectiveness, simplicity, accessibility, real-time visibility, no power dependency, and low maintenance.

STiCKiPads require no specialized equipment or infrastructure. Anyone with a pen can use it, making it accessible to all staff members regardless of technical expertise.  

While scanning technology certainly has its place in modern inventory management, StickiPad offers a simple, cost-effective, and reliable alternative that may be better suited to certain situations and environments.
